Customizing LabelsCreating Labels IntroductionAppendix
Preset template printing
If a frequently used label layout is stored in the printer,
identical labels can be printed simply by scanning
barcodes.
1 Using Transfer Manager, transfer (from P-touch Editor 5.0 to the printer) the label layout
to be printed. (Refer to page 27 for details of the Transfer Manager.)
2 When data is transferred to “Configurations” in Transfer Manager, the “Key Assign”
number is automatically specified.
3 Scan the “P-touch template command” barcode.
Refer to "List of barcodes for specifying settings" on page 50.
4 From the “Basic settings” barcodes, scan the barcode for the parameter whose setting
is to be specified.
5 Scan the barcode under “Preset template number” with the same number as the “Key
Assign” number for the label layout to be printed.
6 The specified label is printed.
• For details on the barcodes that can be scanned for the various settings, refer to "List of
barcodes for specifying settings" on page 50.
• Grouped objects will be converted and sent as an image.
A text object in the label layout can be converted an image. After being converted to an image,
the text cannot be changed. This is useful for protecting frequently used templates from being
accidentally edited.
In the P-touch Editor layout window, right-click the text object, and then click “Properties”. Click
the “Expanded” tab, and then select the “Text Cannot Be Edited” check box.
Otherwise, click “Options” in the “Tools” menu, click the “General” tab, and then select the
“Display Expanded Tabs of Object Properties” check box under “Others”.
When the check box is cleared, the object is converted back to text that can be edited.
Specify a “Key Assign” number between 1 and 10 for label layouts to be used with preset template
printing.
• Settings can be specified for multiple parameters.
• If no settings have been specified, a label will be printed by P-touch Template Settings. The
default settings for P-touch Template Settings is a single copy with “Auto cut on”. For details on
P-touch Template Settings, download “P-touch Template manual” (English only) from the
following web site.

• To specify the number of copies to be printed, scan the “Number of copies” barcode, and then
scan the barcodes under “For entering numbers” to specify a three-digit number.
Example:
Specify numbers by scanning barcodes as follows: 7→[00][7], 15→[0][1][5]
• To change the setting for the number of copies, scan the “Number of copies” barcode again, and
then scan the barcodes for the new three-digit number.
