Notes on usage
Barcodes
Keep the following points in mind when using
P-touch Editor 3.2 to print barcodes.
● Barcodes should be printed on white tape.
If other colors of tape are used, the barcode
reader may not be able to read the barcode
correctly.
● Be sure to test the barcode reader to make
sure that it can read printed barcodes in the
environment where you plan to use them.
● The QR Code protocol can only be used
with English. If data in any other language is
entered, the barcode may not be read cor-
rectly.
Databases
Keep the following points in mind when using
the database functions of P-touch Editor 3.2.
● The database function of P-touch Editor 3.2
(Windows
®
version) uses database files that
are compatible with Microsoft Access 97.
By upgrading P-touch Editor 3.2 using a
program available on the CD-ROM, P-
touch Editor will become compatible with
Access 2000. If P-touch Editor 3.2 has not
been updated to Access 2000 during instal-
lation, refer to the Readme file located at
Ptouch\Editor\Ac2k on the CD-ROM, and
start up the program.
● P-touch Editor 3.2 can import files other
than mdb files, such as csv files. Files saved
as csv files with an application such as
Microsoft Excel can be used with P-touch
Editor. Refer to the User’s Guide supplied
on the P-touch Editor 3.2 CD-ROM for
more details.
● Using a function available with Microsoft
Access 97, Excel files can be linked to mdb
files. With this function, data changed in
Excel is automatically updated with the P-
touch Editor.
