What is the E/EL switch on the back of the P-touch labelling machine for ?

This is a "Mode selector switch".

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.
