Printing directly from other applications

You can use this machine to print directly from most Windows® applications, by installing the printer driver.

Because the paper size for this machine is different from other regular printers, you may not be able to print even after installing the driver and application software, unless the application software allows the correct label size to be set.

Setting the Printer Driver

In the following steps, you will see QL-XXX. Read "XXX" as your printer name. The printer names in the following screens may differ from your purchased printer name.

The screens may vary depending on the model. The following example uses Windows Vista®.

1 • For Windows Vista® / Windows® 7

From [Control Panel], go to [Hardware and Sound] and open [Printers (Windows Vista®) / Devices and Printers (Windows® 7)].
