P-touch Editor 3.2 is a label-designing software that provides additional
illustration and layout features enabling you to design more elaborate label
templates and create databases. Once these label templates and databases have
been created, they can be downloaded to the P-touch, where they can be used to
print labels.
●
Transfer Manager is used to download data created on the computer to this
portable P-touch, so that it can be used anywhere you go to create labels. The
following types of data can be downloaded to the P-touch.
• Label templates created with P-touch Editor allow you to expand the P-touch's
capabilities to create customized labels.
• Databases created with P-touch Editor or in the *.csv format provide you with
convenient access to large amounts of data (for example, customer lists and
inventory), which can be used to print labels.
• User-defined character images in the *.bmp format can be used to enhance
labels with characters that are not available on the P-touch.
●
Backup Manager allows you to back up the following types of data from the
P-touch onto the computer, and restore this data to the P-touch in case the P-touch
data is lost.
• Label templates
• Database
• User-defined character images
• Label files stored in the P-touch memory
