How to Use the P-touch Labeling System

Create a label by connecting your P-touch labeling system to a computer

Your P-touch labeling system can be used as a stand alone handheld labeler, or it can be

connected to a PC or Mac and used with the included P-touch Editor software to create
more elaborate labels.

To use your P-touch labeling system connected to a computer, attach your P-touch
labeling system to a computer via the included USB cable and install the P-touch Editor
software and drivers.

• Remove the labels soon after they are cut so that they do not remain in the tape exit slot.
• Do not position the P-touch labeling system vertically when using it. Otherwise, the cut labels

could fall into the P-touch labeling system and cause a malfunction.
