Introduction This material provides the necessary information for directly controlling the transferred templates in MW-145BT/MW-260/PJ-623/PJ-663. This information is provided assuming that the user has full understanding of the operating system being used and basic mastery of programming in a developer's environment.
How to use P-touch Template 1. Printer setting Set up the initial printer setting by P-touch Template settings tool, in accordance with the environment of host system or the terminal unit, which MW-145BT/MW-260/PJ-623/PJ-663 connect to. (Please refer to P-touch Template Settings Tool User’s Guide in page 6.) H The printer driver must first be installed via a USB connection. *Printer image in the screen may differ depending on your product model. 2.
P-touch Template Settings Tool User’s Guide *Printer image in the screen may differ depending on your product model.
(1) Command mode setting · P-touch Template mode To use P-touch Template, select the P-touch Template mode. · ESC/P mode · Raster mode (2) Template number setting Specify the template number selected as the default when the printer is turned on. However if any number of template not be transferred to the printer, then it cannot be specified such number of template. (3) Delimiter setting A delimiter is the symbol used to indicate when to move to the next object in the data that is being sent.
(7) Character code set setting Select one of the following three character codes. For character code tables, refer to the character code tables in the P-touch Template Command. · Windows1252 · Windows1250 · Brother standard (8) International character setting Select one of the following as the character set of the country.
(10) Non-printed character setting The characters specified here are not printed when data is received. Specify 1 to 20 characters. (11) Line return character setting The line return code is used when feeding data to indicate that the following data should be moved to the next line in a text object. One of the following four line return codes can be selected, or 1 to 20 characters can be specified as the line return code. 1. ^CR 2. \0D\0A 3. \0A 4.
· Typing text into text boxes (3), (5), (9) and (10) Characters that can be entered as text can be typed in, and control codes can be entered as ASCII codes (00 to FF) with \ in front of them.
P-touch Template Limitations ■ Relating to text objects (Please also refer to Relationship between the P-touch Editor setting and the printer H image in page 20.) Fonts specified in P-touch Editor are converted to Helsinki, Letter Gothic or Brussels, depending on the font shape, when the data is sent to the printer. (The font is converted according to the following rules: fixed pitch: Letter Gothic; serif: Brussels; sans serif: Helsinki.
“At Printing” setting (To cancel the “At Printing” setting for a date/time in P-touch Editor, display the properties for the Date and Time object, and then clear the “At Printing” check box.) · Horizontal alignment settings (“Justify” or “Equal Length”) specified in P-touch Editor are changed to the left alignment setting. · The setting for line spacing with a line return specified with the P-touch Editor can be set between 0 and 255 dots.
Specifying the line spacing setting in P-touch Editor ・Numbering settings specified in P-touch Editor are invalid. (The text specified as the default numbering text is printed with P-touch Template.) Default numbering For the numbering text specified in P-touch Editor and shown above, “100” is the default; therefore, “No. 100” will be printed when printing with the printer. · Character styles specified in P-touch Editor are all made the same style within an object.
fixed size or fixed length is specified in P-touch Editor, or that “Automatic Length” be selected when an automatic media length is specified.) 1. Shrink to Fit: The text object size is fixed, and the text size is changed depending on the text length. 2. Clip Text: The text object size is fixed, and the text size is fixed. If the text is too long, the text is not printed. 3. Long Text: The text object width is fixed, and the text size is fixed. If the text is too long, the text object height is increased.
■ Relating to bar codes ● Bar codes · When trying to transfer a template containing a bar code that is not compatible with the printer, an error will occur while transferring and the template cannot be transferred to the printer. The following bar codes are compatible with the printer.
CODABAR: 4 to 64 characters (with “A”, “B”, “C” or “D” at the beginning and end) CODE128: 1 to 64 characters GS1-128 (UCC/EAN-128): 1 to 64 characters When trying to transfer data exceeding the ranges describe above, an error will occur while transferring. If the data that is fed does not meet the minimum limit, the bar code is not printed. If the data exceeds the maximum limit, only the data to the maximum limit is applied. However, if the data exceeds 64 characters, the bar code is not printed.
■ Others · A maximum of 99 templates can be transferred. The transfer cannot be completed if the amount of data being transferred exceeds the followings; MW-145BT/MW-260 ： 512KB PJ-623/PJ-663 ： 5,888KB · A single template can contain at the maximum the following numbers of objects. When trying to transfer more objects than the maximum, an error will occur and the transfer cannot be completed.
· When print data is fed, the command mode should be the P-touch Template mode. · When a template is transferred to the printer, all values specified with dynamic commands are initialized. · Printing begins when the print start text string is received, even if the print start trigger is “when all objects are filled”. · After printing from P-touch Editor, the command mode changes to ESC/P mode or raster mode (only raster mode for MW-145BT/MW-260).
Precautions Static commands Static commands are valid only in the following modes; MW-145BT/MW-260 ： raster mode PJ-623/PJ-663 ： maintenance mode Example: To statically change the template selection number to 10 1) Switch to maintenance mode. ESC i a 01h (1Bh 69h 61h 01h) 2) Select template number 10. ESC i X n 2 01h 00h 0Ah (1Bh 69h 58h 6Eh 32h 01h 00h 0Ah) 3) Dynamically enter the P-touch Template mode.

Making a template in order to save time before starting to print ● Perform the following operation to convert permanent objects into images. · In the [Text Properties] dialog, select the [Expanded] tab and check “Text Cannot Be Edited”. · When the [Expanded] tab is not seen in the [Text Properties] dialog, click [Tools] – [Options] – [General], and check [Display Expanded Tabs of Object Properties] in the [Others] box. ● Specify the Text Options (Text Layout) settings so that the text size is fixed.
