☞
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.
☞
The printed label may differ from the image that appears in the Preview area of Transfer
Manager.
☞
If the number or order of fields in a database are changed and only the database (*.csv
file) is transferred to update it, the database may not link correctly with the template. In
addition, the first line of data in the transferred file must be recognized by the P-touch
labeler machine as “field names”, otherwise the database cannot be used to print.
☞
A P-touch Editor layout that uses the split printing function (enlarging the label and
printing it on 2 or more labels) cannot be transferred.
☞
The label length settings in P-touch Editor and the P-touch labeler machine, may differ
slightly due to minor variations in mechanical operation.
☞
When mixing bitmap objects (TIFF, JPEG, BMP) with vector objects (other than
TrueType fonts), everything is combined into a single bitmap at the printer resolution
(180 dpi) and only the TrueType font data can be edited from the PT-7600 keyboard.
☞
Grouped objects, including TrueType font data will be converted into a single bitmap
from which the data can not be edited from the PT-7600 keyboard.
☞
Downloading logos, symbols and graphics into the PT-7600 PF key will automatically
be scaled (to 8 sizes) like the resident font or any of the resident symbol in the library.
