Note
● In order for P-touch Editor Lite LAN to be
used, the IP address of this printer must
be correctly specified.
The IP address can be specified with a
utility such as BRAdmin Light, which can
be installed from [Utility Installation] on
the CD-ROM.
For details on using this utility, refer to
“Setting the IP address and subnet mask”
in the “Network User’s Guide” (PDF).
● On a network where the IP address is
automatically assigned, for example, with
DHCP, the IP address is automatically
assigned when the printer is connected to
the network, therefore the printer can be
used immediately. However, since the IP
address may change dynamically, we
recommend specifying a static IP address
when P-touch Editor Lite LAN is being
used. For details, contact your network
administrator.
● Specify the settings after consulting with
your network administrator.
Note
● If it does not start up automatically, open
the files on the CD-ROM and double
click on “Setup.exe”.
Note
● A label created using P-touch Editor Lite
LAN can only be printed from the PT-
9800PCN connected to the network.
