Using P-touch Template functions, you can scan barcodes to display a template transferred to the printer, replace the text if necessary, then print labels. At this time, the contents of the displayed template or the text to be replaced can be checked on the LCD.

For details on the P-touch Template functions, see the Software User’s Guide included on the CD-ROM.

To check the text in the template, select the template number in the main screen so that the template details are displayed, and then press [d] or [c]. To edit the text, display the text to be edited, and then press [OK]. Editing mode is entered, and the editable text is highlighted.

Since the contents of the label layout can be checked before being printed, you can be sure to avoid printing the wrong label.
