You can use the P-touch keyboard LCD unit to create and print data for tubes
and labels. Because the P-touch 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 can be used as a stand-alone labeller, 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 P-touch to your mobile device. The
following Brother applications can be downloaded free-of-charge from the
App Store or Google Play™:
Connecting Your P-touch to a Mobile Device
1. Turn the P-touch on, and then press and hold the (Wi-Fi) button until
the (Wi-Fi) indicator is lit in green.
2. Turn on the Wi-Fi function on your Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod touch or
Android™ device.
3. Start the application on your Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod touch or
Android™ device, and then select your P-touch as the printer in the
application.
Select “PT-E850TKW” or “DIRECT-*****_PT-E850TKW”.
“*****” is the last five digits of the product serial number.
You can find the serial number label on the bottom of the P-touch.
When the password (network key) is required, type “00000000”.
Your P-touch can be connected to a computer and used with the Cable Label
Tool or P-touch Editor software to create more complex tubes or labels.
For more information, see the User’s Guide.
