About P-touch Template

Data can be sent from a host (such as measuring instruments, scales and bar code

readers) and printed in a template previously transferred to the machine from P-touch

Editor.

P-touch Template commands used in P-touch Template mode (except ESC i a) consist of

a prefix character and a two-character text string. When the prefix character is sent, the

machine begins the analysis of the P-touch Template command, and performs the

specified process if the following two-character text string corresponds to a command.

Static and dynamic commands

With static commands, items specified with a setting command are saved and stored in

the memory.

With dynamic commands, items specified with a setting command are temporarily saved

and applied until the machine is turned off.

If printing does not begin (main most frequent causes)

1) The command mode is not in the P-touch Template mode.

2) The conditions for the print start trigger are not met.

The following three types of print start triggers exists, but this selection is incorrect.

i) When the specified text string is received

ii) When all objects are filled

iii) When the specified number of characters is received

If the settings described above are incorrect, use the machine setting tool to specify the

settings.
