Print the Templates Related to a Database (Database Lookup Printing)
You can download a database linked to a template, scan a barcode as a keyword to find a record containing the
keyword, and then insert the record into the template to print.
•
For more information on the barcodes scanned using various settings, see
Related Information
.
•
The printer has reserved the leftmost column (A) of a downloaded linked database for this operation,
therefore the keyword scanned from a barcode must be in this column of the database.
•
For the printer to find keywords successfully, the data in the leftmost column (A) must exactly match the
keywords scanned from a barcode.
•
P-touch Editor and the printer can read only one line of data in each field of a linked database so we do
not recommend using databases with two or more lines of data in the leftmost column (A).
1.
Use P-touch Editor to create a template and connect to a database file.
•
You can link as many columns to a text and barcode objects in the template as needed.
•
Make sure the keywords are included in the leftmost column (A) but do not link any text or barcode
object in the template with field (A) if you do not need the data on the printed label.
