What is P-touch Template 2.0?
What is P-touch Template 2.0?
P-touch Template 2.0 helps the user develop a printing system that connects directly from the host and has
following functions:
Transfers the template data from P-touch Editor to the printer (2)
Transfers the ASCII text and binary data from a host to the template in the printer (3)
(“Host” includes medias such as barcode readers, smartphones or mobile terminals.)
Prints the transferred data (3)
(See the figure shown below.)
3. Transfer the data (t
ext) from
the host, and then print the
template.
1. Set up the printer from
the PC according to the
configuration of the host.
2. Design the template
with P-touch Editor, then
transfer it to printer.
P-touch Template 2.0 commands consist of a prefix character and a two-character text string.
When the prefix character is sent, the printer begins the analysis of the P-touch Template 2.0 command, and
performs the specified process if the following two-character text string corresponds to a command.
There are two types of command, “static command” and “dynamic command”. Items set with the dynamic
command are retained until the printer is turned off. On the other hand, the items set with the static command
are stored in the non-volatile ROM in the printer.
Note
*P-touch Template 2.0 is not compatible with some hosts.
*These hosts should have an interface to transfer the data.
*ZPL II emulation is supported by P-touch Template 2.0.
