Printer Driver
In order to provide even more illustration and
layout features to the label-making possibilities
available with your P-touch, three applications
are available on the enclosed
CD-ROM: P-touch Editor 3.2, P-touch Quick
Editor and P-touch AV Editor (for Windows
®
only). With all three applications, the printer
driver must also be installed in order to print
labels from the P-touch.
