Chapter 6: Using The Printer With A Pc - Brady POWERMark User Manual

Chapter 6:
In addition to functioning as a stand-alone system, your labeling system can be connected
to a PC and used much like any other printer. This allows you to create labels and signs in
PC applications, such as the MARKWARE™ Tape and Label Software application, and to
print them directly to your labeling system.
To use your labeling system with a PC, you need to do the following:
• Install the print driver on the PC.
• Connect the PC to the labeling system.
• Turn the labeling system on so that the "On line" message displays (or press the On Line key
on the labeling system keyboard to put the system on line). When you start your system, it
checks whether or not a keyboard is attached. If a keyboard isn't attached, the system assumes
it will be connected to a PC and automatically displays the "On line" message.
Once the labeling system is connected to the PC, you can launch a PC application, create a
label and print it on the printer.
