In order to provide even more illustration and layout features to the label-making possibilities available with your P-touch, two applications are available on the enclosed CD-ROM: P- touch Editor 3.2 and P-touch Quick Editor. With either application, the printer driver must also be installed in order to print labels from the P- touch.
