You can use the P-touch labelling machine’s keyboard LCD unit to create and
print data for labels. Because the machine is portable, it can be used as a
single unit without worrying about the strength of the wireless signal or
connecting to other devices, and can be used anytime and anywhere.
Your P-touch labelling machine can be used as a stand-alone machine, or it
can be connected to a mobile device and used with the Brother applications
to create labels and print directly from your mobile device.
To print labels from your mobile device, install the Brother applications to your
mobile device, and then connect your machine to your mobile device. The
following Brother applications can be downloaded free-of-charge from the
App Store or Google Play™:
Connecting Your Machine to a Mobile Device
1. Turn your machine on, and then press and hold the (Wi-Fi) button

3. Start the application on your Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod touch or
Android™ device, and then select your machine as the printer in the
application.
Select “PT-D800W” or “DIRECT-*****_brPT-D800W”.
“*****” is the last five digits of the product serial number.
You can find the serial number label on the bottom of the machine.
When the password (network key) is required, type “00000000”.
Your machine can be connected to a computer and used with the P-touch

To connect the machine to a computer using a wireless connection:
• We recommended configuring the wireless network settings while
installing the software. You can change the settings later using
[Settings] in the Home screen or the Printer Setting Tool. For more
information, see the User’s Guide.
• We recommended installing the software on a computer wirelessly
connected to your network and configuring the machine using a USB
cable.
• We recommend getting the SSID (network name) and password
(network key) of the wireless network in advance.
• If your wireless access point/router supports WPS, you can use
one-push WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) to quickly configure the
wireless network settings.
