Using Transferred Database Data
A database converted to a *.csv file can be transferred to the P-touch labeling system.

label application type. The database data is imported according to the number of blocks and
pages set for each label application type. Refer to "Selecting a Labeling Application Type" in
the Quick Setup Guide for details on setting the number of blocks and pages for each label

• Before using a database, transfer the database to the P-touch labeling system.
• If a database and template are linked and transferred together, the database can use only that
template.

imported until the maximum number of blocks and pages is reached.
• If the set number of blocks and pages is larger than the selected database range, the operation
will finish when all of the database is imported. The remaining blocks and pages will be printed
blank without any data.
