quickly. It will take you step by step through software and driver installation
and configuration and help you verify that everything is working.
Note that this document covers the Installation of LabeLase® Producer and

• Leica LP C - cassette printer
2.1 Connecting your printer
As you proceed with the installation process, you will be instructed to con-
nect your printer to your PC, or to your local area network (LAN) depending
on the connection type.
Do not attempt to connect the printer to your PC or network un-
til instructed to do so.
2.2 Connection type
How you connect your printer depends on the connection type you want to
use. Your Leica LP C cassette printer offers three different connection op-
tions, each of which has its own particular advantages and disadvantages.
You must select one of these three connection types.
Using a serial COM port is the simplest way to connect the printer to your
PC, since it doesn’t require you to install any additional drivers or software.
However, many newer PC computers do not come with a serial COM port.
Select this option if you are using a USB to Serial convertor.
