How to use P-touch Transfer Manager & P-touch Library

P-touch Library: This application allows you to manage P-touch label templates and other data on the computer. You can print a label from within P-touch library.

P-touch Transfer Manager: This application can transfer label template data to the printer’s main unit and can make backups of data transferred to the printer’s internal memory.

Transfer function is needed to use P-touch Template. For details on P-touch Template, see P-touch Template manual (page 5).

To transfer the templates via network, you need to prepare BRAdmin Professional or Web BRAdmin. Download them from our website. (For Network models only)
