8th Edition: September, 2022
Toshiba Tec Corporation
1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the "BCP Setting Tool", a setting tool for the label printers of Toshiba Tec Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Toshiba Tec"). This document gives you a general description of the "BCP Setting Tool" including the editing function of custom language.
Custom Language
Custom Language refers to displaying the BCP Setting Tool in a language other than Japanese, English and Chinese. This BCP Setting Tool has a feature to edit the custom language function.
2. Custom Language
When you click [Option...] at the right end of the header view, the display language can be changed on the option screen displayed. When Custom is selected in the same manner as that for Japanese, English and Chinese, the printer reboots and the language is changed to the custom one.
The Custom Language function has a custom language file. This language file is installed while setting English as the default at the first installation of the BCP Setting Tool which supports this function. The custom language file is not deleted even if an uninstallation is carried out. When an upgrade installation is carried out, the edited custom language file and upgraded definitions and messages are merged automatically. These upgraded definitions and messages are added to the custom language file in English. In addition, when the custom language file is imported, merging is performed automatically.
[Screenshot Description: The BCP Setting Tool interface is shown, featuring a menu bar (File, Edit, View, Custom Language, Help) and an "Option..." button in the header. The main window displays printer details like model (B-EX4T1-G/T), interface, and a list of parameters.]
3. Import, Export and Initialization
Importing of the custom language file
- Printer definition and message files: From the menu, select [Custom Language] > [Importing custom language file...] to display the file selection screen. Then choose the file to import. Only a file exported by the Export option of Custom Language can be imported.
- OpenTypeFont license agreement: From the menu, select [Custom Language] > [Importing custom language file...] to display the file selection screen. Select [License file(*.rtf)] for the file type and choose the file to import.
Exporting of the custom language file
- Printer definition and message files: From the menu, select [Custom Language] > [Exporting custom language file...] to display the file selection screen. Then choose the file to export. All printer definition and message files are imported by one file.
- OpenTypeFont license agreement: From the menu, select [Custom Language] > [Exporting custom language file...], to display the file selection screen. Select [License file(*.rtf)] for the file type and choose the file to export.
Initialize custom language file
From the menu, select [Custom Language] > [Initialize custom language file] to display the confirmation screen. Clicking "Yes" initializes the custom language file, changing the language to English.
Note: When the custom file is imported, the custom language is compared. If there is a difference in the number of options for setting items, the custom language for all concerned setting items will be changed to English. (Import of the custom language file is carried out when this tool is updated.)
4. Edition of Custom Language
Click [Option...] at the right end of the header view to open the Option screen. Pressing [Ctrl], [Alt], [Shift], and [Z] simultaneously while this screen is displayed, reveals the [Language] tab.

Edition of the option button
Click [Header] to display the list in the Header field. Edit the text to be displayed on [Option...].
[Screenshot Description: The BCP Setting Tool XML Editor shows the 'Header' section. The main BCP Setting Tool window is displayed, with an arrow pointing from the 'Option...' button to the 'Header' section in the XML Editor, indicating that the 'Option...' text is editable.]
Edition of Unit, View, Select text
Click items under [View] to edit elements such as menu icon text, tab names, group names, and item names. The item name appears in the Title field. For items with selectable content, selection text appears in the Selection item field.
[Screenshot Description: The BCP Setting Tool XML Editor shows the 'View' section with items like 'Zero Font', 'LCD Language', 'Print Speed'. The main BCP Setting Tool window displays various settings fields, illustrating where these edits would appear.]
Note on Improper Changes: Modifying items tied to numerical values and program text can lead to improper printer operation. These items are not displayed in the tree view.
If an item has a unit, it is displayed in the Unit field.
Edition of List Header text
Click items under [ListView] to edit the header text for each ListView.
[Screenshot Description: The BCP Setting Tool XML Editor shows the 'ListView' section with header items like 'File Name', 'Section', 'Version'. The main BCP Setting Tool window displays a 'Firmware Download' tab with a list using these headers.]
Edition of Speed for test print
Navigate [Test Print] > [Resolution] > [Speed] to edit the speed selection text for test printing.
[Screenshot Description: The BCP Setting Tool main window is shown with the 'Test Print' tab active. A dropdown menu for 'Print Speed' is visible, listing various speeds like '3 inch/sec', '6 inch/sec', etc.]
Edition of the security category

[Screenshot Description: The BCP Setting Tool XML Editor shows the 'Security Item' section. A dialog box prompts for confirmation regarding including security items like 'System Mode Password', 'WEP Key', etc.]
5. Edition of message data
The text displayed on common screens, error messages, and warning message boxes of the BCP Setting Tool can be edited.
[Save]: Saves edited data. Changes are reflected when [Custom] is selected for the BCP Setting Tool's display language and the printer is rebooted.
[Restore all to English]: Cancels edited data and returns the language to English.
For details on display location and meaning of messages, refer to "5. Message Text".
Note on Message Formatting:
- For multi-line messages (e.g., error messages), "\r\n" represents a line break. Input "\r\n" to insert a new line during editing.
- Values in braces, such as {0} and {1}, are program variables. When editing, include these variables with their braces before the text. These variable orders must not be changed.
Example:
Before: The entered value for "{1}" on the {0} tab page is incorrect.
Enter a {2:0}-digit character.
After: {0}"{1}"
{2:0}
[Screenshot Description: A dialog box shows an example of editing a message. The 'Before' state shows an English message with variables and a Japanese translation. The 'After' state shows the edited message structure. Another dialog box illustrates an incorrect input for "USB Serial Number" and the requirement for a 12-digit character.]
