If a Template With a Linked Database Is Registered with a One-Touch Key

If you register a template with a linked database to a one-touch key, the displayed contents are for the database record corresponding to the number of times that you press the key. For example, with a template that has 3 database records, pressing the one-touch key once will display the contents of the first database record. Pressing it twice displays the contents of the second record, and pressing it three times will display the contents of the third record. Pressing the key four times will return to displaying the contents of the first database record.

a Press the one-touch key for the label to

be printed until the contents of the desired database record appears.

b With [a] or [b], type in the number of copies to be printed, and then press the

(Print) button or [OK]. The labels are printed.

If a template with a linked database is assigned to a one-touch key, be sure that [Confirm Print] is set to [On]. If [Off] is selected, only the first database can be selected.

NOTE

•The number of copies to be printed can be set between 1 and 999.

•If the template contains a serialized number, the labels will be printed with the serialized field incremented by the specified number of times.

Printing Using a Barcode Reader

Using P-touch Template functions, you can scan barcodes to display a template transferred to the printer, replace the text if necessary, then print labels. At this time, the contents of the displayed template or the text to be replaced can be checked on the LCD.

For details on the P-touch Template functions, see the Software User’s Guide included on the CD-ROM.

To check the text in the template, select the template number in the main screen so that the template details are displayed, and then press [d] or [c]. To edit the text, display the text to be edited, and then press [OK]. Editing mode is entered, and the editable text is highlighted.

Since the contents of the label layout can be checked before being printed, you can be sure to avoid printing the wrong label.
