Brother 2450DX Printer User Manual

This machine is equipped with a USB port, allowing you to connect the P-touch to your IBM
PC-compatible or Macintosh computer, and to print labels created by the P-touch Editor soft-
ware.
The P-touch Editor software and the printer driver must be installed before the
P-touch is connected to the computer or turned on.
Follow the installation procedure
on pages 7 through 31 to install the P-touch Editor software and the printer driver, and
connect the P-touch to the computer when you are instructed to do so.
It is recommended that you use the USB cable supplied with the P-touch.
Should another USB cable need to be used, ensure it is of high quality construction.
To connect the P-touch to the computer:
1
Insert the flat connector on the USB cable into the USB port on the computer.
2
Insert the square connector on the USB cable into the USB port on the right side of the
P-touch.
3
Turn on the P-touch.
When making a USB connection through a hub, a proper connection may not be
possible due to the type of hub used. If printing is not possible with a hub connec-
tion, try connecting the PT-2450DX directly to the computer using the USB inter-
face cable.
After the P-touch is connected to a computer using a USB cable, the P-touch enters Interface
mode when data is sent from the computer.
To exit Interface mode and return to the text
, press any key.
The P-touch cannot enter Interface mode while it is printing or feeding tape.
