Using P-touch Editor 5.0
P-touch Editor 5.0 makes it easy for anyone to design and print more complex labels, for
almost any needed imaginable.
See the P-touch Editor Help for samples of various kinds of labels and details on
creating, printing, and saving the labels. The following is the example for Windows

Notes on creating templates
Since some P-touch Editor 5.0 functions are not available with the P-touch labeler
machine, keep the following points in mind when using P-touch Editor 5.0 to create
templates.
Since only the Helsinki font is available on the P-touch labeler machine, the font used to
print the text may be different from the font selected for the template in P-touch Editor.
In addition, since the size of all text on the P-touch labeler machine is set to AUTO, the
text size may automatically be reduced. We recommend using the Helsinki font installed
with P-touch Editor for best results when creating labels.
Although character styles can be applied to individual characters with P-touch Editor,
styles can only be applied to a line of text with the P-touch labeler machine. In addition,
some character styles are not available on the P-touch labeler machine.
Unlike from P-touch Editor, the P-touch labeler machine cannot print underline or
strikeout characters.
Only the first 999 rows of a database linked to a template are read by the P-touch labeler
machine.
Only the first line of text typed into a database field is read by the P-touch labeler
machine. Therefore, if you wish to print from a database with more than one line of text,
create the template and database with separate fields for each line of text.
Some characters available with P-touch Editor are not available with the P-touch labeler
machine.
Bar codes specified with settings not compatible with the P-touch labeler bar codes
settings will not print correctly.
A template created with P-touch Editor should have a fixed length with a maximum of
40" (1 m).
The template and database should be created so that no more than approximately 500
characters per label will be printed.
Fields that extend out of the print area may not print completely.
A numbering field specified with P-touch Editor will not transfer and is not compatible
with the Numbering function on the P-touch labeler machine.
Backgrounds specified with P-touch Editor are not compatible with the P-touch labeler
machine.
Time and date objects using the “At Printing” setting on P-touch Editor will not be
printed.
