Using P-touch With a Computer

This P-touch is equipped with a USB port, allowing you to connect it to a computer

running Microsoft

which is installed together with the printer driver, Transfer Manager and Backup

Manager.

P-touch Editor 3.2 is a label-designing software that provides additional

●

illustration and layout features enabling you to design more elaborate label

templates and create databases. Once these label templates and databases have

been created, they can be downloaded to the P-touch, where they can be used to

print labels.

Transfer Manager is used to download data created on the computer to this

●

portable P-touch, so that it can be used anywhere you go to create labels. The

following types of data can be downloaded to the P-touch.

• Label templates created with P-touch Editor allow you to expand the P-touch's

capabilities to create customized labels.

• Databases created with P-touch Editor or in the *.csv format provide you with

convenient access to large amounts of data (for example, customer lists and

inventory), which can be used to print labels.

• User-defined character images in the *.bmp format can be used to enhance

labels with characters that are not available on the P-touch.

Backup Manager allows you to back up the following types of data from the

●

P-touch onto the computer, and restore this data to the P-touch in case the P-touch

data is lost.

• Label templates

• Database

• User-defined character images

• Label files stored in the P-touch memory
