FAQs & Troubleshooting |
What is the E/EL switch on the back of the P-touch labelling machine for ?
This is a "Mode selector switch".
The PT-1230PC has 2 mode selector settings - "EL" ( P-touch Editor Lite) and "E" (P-touch Editor 5.0).
The mode selector switch is pre-set at the factory to the EL mode.
- For EL mode, you can start the P-touch Editor Lite soon without installing software and drivers.
- For E mode, you will need to install the P-touch Editor 5.0 which is more advanced labeling software and the required drivers from the Brother Web site.
- Do not connect the PT-1230PC to your PC before you begin the P-touch Editor 5.0 installation.
- Make sure that you move the mode selector switch on the back of the P-touch labelling machine to the "E" position before connecting the USB cable when you want to print a label with the P-touch Editor 5.0.
