Searching the database

While selecting a database record to be used in a template or added to a label, you can search for records containing specific characters or a specific number.

The search proceeds to the right after the first matched string. Then, the database records will be searched in the same direction as the import order for the label type. The "field names" line will also be searched.

The possible search characters include uppercase and lowercase letters (including accented characters), numbers, and the upper symbols shown on the keys.

1Press the Database key, select the database to be used and then press the OK or Enter key.

The first record of the selected database is displayed.

2Type in the first character (e.g., "B") that you wish to search for. Example: If you type "B", the fields will be searched from the first field for character strings containing "B".

If a string that contains "B" is found, the cursor will move to that data and "B" will be highlighted. In addition, "B" will be stored in the internal memory.

If a string that contains the searched character "B" is not found, the cursor will remain in its current position without moving and the character "B" will not be stored in the internal memory.

3Type in the 2nd character (e.g., "R") that you wish to search for. Next, if you type "R", the fields will be searched from the next field for character strings containing "BR".

If a string that contains "BR" is found, the cursor will move to that data and "BR" will be highlighted. In addition, "BR" will be stored in the internal memory.

4Continue searching the database using the same procedure.

• If the character that you searched for is contained in multiple fields in the database, press the Database key to move to the next field containing the character. The character will be highlighted in the field.

•Press the Backspace key to delete the last search character that was typed. The cursor will move to the field containing the remaining search characters.
