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.
