Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with the XD3-40tK/BEG is straightforward thanks to the intuitive single-button design. Connect the printer to your Windows, Mac, or Linux workstation via the standard USB 2.0 interface. Install the necessary drivers and design software such as BIXOLON’s Label Artist-II or BarTender UltraLite to begin printing.
