• For details on the barcodes that can be scanned for the various settings, refer to "List of barcodes for specifying settings" on page 50.

•Grouped objects will be converted and sent as an image.

1Using Transfer Manager, transfer (from P-touch Editor 5.0 to the printer) the label layout to be printed. (Refer to page 27 for details of the Transfer Manager.)

A text object in the label layout can be converted an image. After being converted to an image, the text cannot be changed. This is useful for protecting frequently used templates from being accidentally edited.

In the P-touch Editor layout window, right-click the text object, and then click “Properties”. Click the “Expanded” tab, and then select the “Text Cannot Be Edited” check box.

Otherwise, click “Options” in the “Tools” menu, click the “General” tab, and then select the “Display Expanded Tabs of Object Properties” check box under “Others”.

When the check box is cleared, the object is converted back to text that can be edited.

2 When data is transferred to “Configurations” in Transfer Manager, the “Key Assign” number is automatically specified.

Specify a “Key Assign” number between 1 and 10 for label layouts to be used with preset template printing.

•To change the setting for the number of copies, scan the “Number of copies” barcode again, and then scan the barcodes for the new three-digit number.
