Connect the Printer to a Barcode Scanner Using USB Host Interface
We recommend using a reliable high-quality barcode scanner and checking the barcode scanner specifications before selecting a model.
Recommended barcode scanner selection criteria: HID-class models identified as a keyboard
- For P-touch Template mode, templates must first be downloaded from a computer to the printer using P-touch Transfer Manager.
- The barcode scanner should be programmed to use the English keyboard. For beginners, we recommend programming your barcode scanner with no prefix and no suffix characters. For advanced users, the prefix and suffix characters can be scanned and used as commands with the printer for creating customised templates.
- Contact the manufacturer for more information on how to use and program a specific barcode scanner model.
- Connect a barcode scanner to the printer's USB host port.
