How to set up your TSC label printer using MacOS

Once your label printer has arrived, you'll need to install the printer driver to your computer. If you need any assistance along the way, please call 1300 590 044 for support.

Important note! Your school's security settings may prevent you from being able to install the printer driver. We recommend reaching out to your school's IT team to assist you.

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

  • An internet connection,
  • Your supplier portal login details,
  • Your computer's login details, or, if this computer is owned/operated by someone else, the administrator login details,
  • Google Chrome installed, to use for printing.

    This will download a folder to your Downloads which will be called "tsc-1.25-install".
  2. Open this folder and double click the file called "TSC-1.25-install.pkg". This should have the below icon:
