CONNECTING THE P-TOUCH TO A COMPUTER

This machine is equipped with a USB port, allowing you to connect the P-touch to your IBM PC-compatible or Macintosh computer, and print labels and stamps created using the P-touch Editor software.

☞The P-touch Editor software and the printer driver must be installed before the P-touch is connected to the computer or turned on. Follow the installation procedure on pages 7 through 16 to install the P-touch Editor software and the printer driver, and connect the P-touch to the computer when you are instructed to do so.
