Brother 1650 manual Adding a user-defined character image to the text, Using template data

☞The P-touch can only contain one database at a time. However, the database can be replaced or updated.

☞When data is downloaded to a PF key, it replaces the preset template initially available on the P-touch. To restore the initial templates, use Transfer Manager to download the *. pd3. files from the folder located at \etc\Transfer in the P-touch Editor folder.

☞Only one character image or template can be assigned to a PF key. If a character image or template is already assigned to a PF key, the previous data is erased when a different character image or template is transferred.

☞Only the files that are selected will be transferred. To transfer more than one file at the same time, hold down the keyboard’s Ctrl key, and then click the name of each file that you wish to transfer.

☞To stop transferring the data, click “Cancel” in the dialog box that appears during transfer.

☞Only a monochrome bitmap (*.bmp) file can be transferred to the P-touch.

☞A high-resolution file can be cut from a file with the specifications described above.

☞The downloaded image is automatically resized to the width of the tape being used.

Using template data

Alabel layout created with P-touch Editor (*.lbl file) can be downloaded to the P-touch, where it can be used as a template for printing labels. The templates can be printed using text either from a database or text directly typed in.

When a database (*.mdb file created with P-touch Editor 3.2 or *.csv file) is downloaded to the P-touch, data from selected records can be added to labels either using a template linked to the database or using a new template. In addition, the database data can be searched to find specific records.
