PT-2430p c & PT-1230p c
Label Makers
Easy to use. Easy to share in your office.
And secure ... no software to install, means
no software to remove later.
P-touch®PC-connectable label makers – with Plug & Label™functionality – will
have you making professional looking labels – with text and graphics – in seconds.
Just connect to your desktop or notebook PC via the included USB cable to get
started. No software installation is required because the easy-to-use software
is pre-loaded on the label maker. That means when you're done, simply turn it
off and unplug. There's nothing left behind on your PC.
Creating labels is a snap. Use any of your PC’s installed TrueType®fonts.
Import graphics like logos and symbols from your PC. Make and print almost
any label that you can imagine. You can also save your label designs to your
desktop for future use.
Plus, using your PC's mouse and keyboard makes typing and designing your
labels easier than ever.
The PT-2430p c is perfect for a busy office because virtually anyone can
begin using it simply by connecting it to their PC. The intuitive built-in
software enables users to produce labels for the majority of typical
business needs. For making more complex labels with a variety of
symbols and industry-standard bar code symbologies, it also includes
the full version of P-touch®Editor software on CD.
The PT-2430p c accepts up to six tape widths for making labels as narrow
as 9/64", and as wide as 1"s. A built-in auto cutter can be set to cut at
a length you choose, or automatically, based on the content of your label.
Power is supplied by using either the included AC adaptor (AD-24ES) or
by 6 “AA” alkaline batteries (not included) for easy portability.
PT-2430p c – for your business applications –
in the office or in the field
PT-1230p c – for your home or home office
For lighter duty at home or in a small office, consider the PT-1230p c . It
offers the same simple connectivity, and built-in software as the more robust
PT-2430p c in a slightly smaller device that prints on up to four tape widths –
from 9/64" up to ½"s. This model features a manual cutter and is powered
by 6 “AAA” alkaline batteries (not included). For added functionality, an
optional AC adaptor (AD-24) can be purchased separately.
Easy to use – no software

Print & apply ...
Create & edit ...
There’s practically no start up time. Plug it into your PC's USB port.
Then use the device’s built-in software to start generating labels.
After you connect it to your PC, the built-in software guides you
every step of the way.
Change tape widths and colors in seconds with interchangeable TZ
tape cassettes s. Choose from a wide variety of TZ tapes to match your
application – use Standard Laminated Tapes for indoor and outdoor use, or
use one of our specialty tapes for labeling everything from wires and cables
to rough textured surfaces to protecting valuable assets and more.
Fast Plug & Label™ Technology ... It's easy.
When you are done making labels, simply turn the labeler off and disconnect
from your PC. Nothing is left behind.
It’s the PC-connectable label maker your IT department will never worry about.
It's safe and easy to share throughout your office – since no software is left behind.
While the built-in Editor Lite software will
support the majority of everyday labeling
needs, both models are capable of advanced
labeling applications - such as generating
bar codes and printing from a database.
For more sophisticated labels, simply install
the full version of P-touch®Editor software,
and change operation modes from “EL” to
“E” by moving the switch on the back of
the labeler.*
It’s secure.
Interchangeable tape cassettes
Weighing approximately one pound, these models support convenient,
on-the-go labeling. Perfect for:
Compact and lightweight - it's easy
to carry with you
Switch modes for even more advanced labels
Print your label.
Then peel off the label
backing and apply.
Simply type the information
you want on your label. Easily
import any text or graphics –
like logos or symbols – from
your PC.
Arrange elements on your label
to your preference – what you
see on screen is just how your
label will print.
At a Glance ...

perfect for any home, office or field application. With either
model, anyone can quickly, easily, and securely create and print
