used.

The bar code is printed with the 
protocol and size specified in the 
template.
■ Database-assisted label printing
First, a database field must be connected to 
an object in the label layout. Then, when a 
key bar code is scanned with the bar code 
reader, the bar code data can be printed 
replacing data from the connected database 
file in the object of the specified template.
1
Connect the database file to the label 
layout to be printed.
For details on specifying the settings, 
refer to the “P-touch Editor Help”.
2
Transfer the label layout to be printed 
from the P-touch Editor 5.0 to the 
printer by using the Transfer Manager. 
(See Software User´s Guide.)
The database file is also transferred.
3
When data is transferred to 
“Configurations” in Transfer 
Manager, the “Key Assign” number 
is automatically specified.
4
Scan the “P-touch template command” 
bar code to begin specifying the print 
settings.
Refer to “List of bar codes for specifying 
settings” (→ P. 42).
5
Specify the print settings by scanning 
the bar codes with the desired settings, 
from the “Basic Settings” bar codes.
Note
● The key bar code is the bar code for the 
information appearing in the database 
file at the leftmost column in record view 
(field “A” in form view). These key bar 
codes must be created in advance.
● The database information in field “A” of 
the form view must not include any other 
data. In addition, even if the information 
contains two lines of data, only the first 
line of data is recognised when the bar 
code is scanned with the bar code 
reader. Therefore, enter only one line 
of data into the information in field “A” 
of the form view.
● For details on the various settings that can 
be chosen by scanning the appropriate 
bar code, refer to “List of bar codes for 
specifying settings” (→ P. 42).
