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.
