Transferring label templates with P-touch Transfer Express

By using P-touch Transfer Express, one or more label templates and a database can be easily transferred into a TD-4000/4100N printer via a local USB or network (TD-4100N) connection. After a label template has been created by an administrator, it can be distributed together with P-touch Transfer Express to many users and easily transfer a label template into each TD-4000/4100N printer locally.

If the template is to be transferred as a new one, be sure to specify a [Key Assign] number (in P-touch Transfer Manager) that is not currently used. If the specified [Key Assign] number is already being used, the existing template will be overwritten with the new one.

The [Key Assign] numbers for templates transferred to the machine can be confirmed by "Printing the list of label templates".

Refer to "Printing the list of label templates" on page 41.

Valid only when connecting USB cable.
