 Label sample
A database can be linked to the template that
was created. Since the text in the template
can be replaced with text from the database,
multiple labels can be printed simply by
creating a single template.
For more information on specifying database
settings, see [P-touch Editor Help].
a Prepare a database file in advance.
NOTE
• Files saved as XLS, MDB, CSV and TXT
formats can be used as databases.
• Only one database can be linked to a
single template. A maximum of 65,000
records can be created in that database.
(The total size of templates and databases
is limited to 20 MB.)
• The data entered in the database can be
displayed on the LCD. Only the first 13
characters can be displayed.
b In P-touch Editor, open the template to
be linked to the database.
 If the [At Printing] checkbox (1) is
selected, the date and time of
printing will be inserted. If the
checkbox is cleared, the current
date and time will be inserted and
will not be updated.
 The date and time inserted into the
label will be printed in the printer’s
built-in character size. Since the
character size is determined by the
size of the date and time object,
adjust the object to the desired size
in P-touch Editor before transferring
the label layout to the printer.
