Transferring label templates from the PC to the printer

1 Select the printer to transfer data to.

Before transferring data, check that the PC and the printer are correctly connected with a USB cable and that the printer power is On.

2 Right click the [Configurations folder], then select [New] and create a new folder.

Here, as an example, we create the folder "Transfer".

3 Drag the transfer data to the folder you just made.

Drag the transfer data from All contents or from Layouts or some other folder under Filter. When transferring multiple sets of data, move all the transfer data to the folder you made.

The data that can be transferred depends on your printer model. For details, refer to your printer's manual.

4 Key Assign numbers are automatically assigned to transfer data within the folder you made in previous step.

To change a number, right click the data name in the list view, then select key assign number.

• Key Assign is necessary for transfer of data other than message texts.

•If you change the Key Assign number used for data already transferred to the printer main unit, it is overwritten. You can check the Key Assign number used for data already transferred to printer by backing up the data as explained in "Backing up label templates" (Page 44).

•You can click the data name for transfer data and change to a new name. Depending on your printer model, there may be restrictions on the number of characters that can be used in a data name.
