When the NFC reader of my Android™ device is tapped against the NFC logo on the P-touch, the device is recognized but cannot connect to the P-touch.

Please check the following:

 

  • Is the P-touch turned on?

    Make sure the P-touch is on to allow the Android™ device to connect.

     

  • Did you tap your Android™ device against the NFC logo on the P-touch immediately after turning it on?

    You should wait for about 1 minute after the P-touch is turned on before attempting to make an NFC connection.

     

  • Is the Wi-Fi lamp lit on the P-touch?

    If the Wi-Fi lamp is not lit on the P-touch, it cannot be connected to your Android™ device.
    Press and hold the Wireless Mode button for one second to turn on the wireless LAN function.

     

  • Is another Android™ device connected to the P-touch?

    Another Android™ device may be connected to the P-touch.
    For NFC connections using Wireless Direct, only one device can be connected to the P-touch at a time.
    Manually disconnect the other device from the P-touch, wait a while and then try again.

     

  • Is the P-touch configured for Ad-hoc Mode in the 'Printer Setting Tool' or 'P-touch Utility'?
