●

If the number or order of fields in a data-
base 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 file must be recognized by the P-touch
as the field names, otherwise the database
cannot be used to print.

●

A layout using the split printing function
(enlarging the label and printing it on 2 or
more labels) cannot be transferred.
