Windows Printer Setup 

The Cassette printer can be set up to print labels that are designed and created by label 
design programs or LIS systems. These labels need to be designed and sent to the printer 
as a bitmap image. The process to print these labels is much like printing from a computer to 
a desktop printer using a Windows® driver to manage the queue and send the images to the 
printer. The connection from the PC or Server to the printer can be either USB or Ethernet 
connection and can be set up and configured automatically using the drivers.  

The Cassette printer hardware is digitally signed and usable with Microsoft Windows® 
operating systems Versions: Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 for both 32 and 64 bit 
operating systems. 

The Windows printer is set up automatically like most other printer driver installations, for 
further information on driver installation, please refer to the Windows Driver manual.
