This machine is equipped with a USB port,
allowing you to use a USB cable to connect the
P-touch to a computer running Windows
®
or
Mac OS, and print labels created using the
P-touch Editor software.
To connect a computer to the P-touch
through the USB port:
1 Insert the flat (A) connector on the USB
cable into the USB port on the computer.
2 Insert the square (B) connector on the USB
cable into the USB port on the right side of
the P-touch.
3 Turn on the P-touch.
After the P-touch is connected to a computer
using a USB cable, the P-touch enters Interface
mode when data is sent to it from the computer.
NOTE
☞ For stamp and AV label cassettes, the tightening
of the ink ribbon does not apply, since they are
not equipped with ink ribbons.
☞ If you are using a new tape cassette provided
with a stopper, be sure to remove the stopper.
NOTE
When inserting the tape cassette, make sure that the
inner ribbon does not catch on the corner of the
metal guide.
