Using the Printer Setting Tool (for Windows)

Using the Printer Setting Tool, you can specify the printer’s communication settings, device settings and P-touch Template settings from a computer.

Before Using the Printer Setting Tool:

  • Make sure the AC adapter is connected to the printer and to an AC power outlet, or a fully-charged battery is installed.
  • Make sure the printer driver has been installed correctly and you can print.
  • Connect this printer to a computer with a USB cable.

 

  1. Connect the printer you want to configure to the computer.

  2. Start the Printer Setting Tool.

    For Windows 11 / Windows 10 / Windows Server 2019 / Windows Server 2016
    Click [Start] - ([All apps] - [Brother] -) [Printer Setting Tool].
     
    For Windows 8.1 / Windows 8 / Windows Server 2012 / Windows Server 2012 R2
    On the [Apps] screen, click [Printer Setting Tool].
     
    For Windows 7 / Windows Vista / Windows Server 2008 / Windows Server 2008 R2
