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 to print labels created by the P-touch Editor soft- ware.

☞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 31 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.

It is recommended that you use the USB cable supplied with the P-touch.

Should another USB cable need to be used, ensure it is of high quality construction.

To connect the P-touch to the computer:

1Insert the flat connector on the USB cable into the USB port on the computer.

2Insert the square connector on the USB cable into the USB port on the right side of the P-touch.

3Turn on the P-touch.

☞When making a USB connection through a hub, a proper connection may not be possible due to the type of hub used. If printing is not possible with a hub connec- tion, try connecting the PT-2450DX directly to the computer using the USB inter- face cable.
