How do I transfer label templates with P-touch Transfer Express?

You can transfer templates to the printer using P-touch Transfer Express. First, the administrator creates a template, and then distributes it together with P-touch Transfer Express. You can then use P-touch Transfer Express to transfer the template directly to your printer.

  • When transferring a new template, make sure you specify a Key Assign number (in P-touch Transfer Manager) that is not currently used. If the specified Key Assign number is already being used, the existing template will be overwritten with the new one.
  • This function requires a USB connection.
