out manually entering data. To set it up and try some samples follow these instructions:

windows computer. Wait for the driver to automatically install. You will hear tone from
the scanner when it has successfully been installed.

3. Use the sample labels below to transfer sample data to PTLab.
Sample Specimen Labels

templates will need to be created. Use the PTTemplate™ software included with
the PTLab software to create your own templates.
