Connecting DuraLabel Kodiak to a PC

Overview

Kodiak’s built-in touchscreen allows you to create signs and labels even without a computer, but you can also connect Kodiak to a computer (optional) for additional versatility.

NOTE: You will need administrator privileges to install a driver.

Initial Setup and Driver Installation

When connecting Kodiak to a computer for the first time, follow these steps.

1. Connect Kodiak’s power cable to an electrical outlet and connect the USB cable from the USB-B port on the back of your Kodiak (near the power switch) to a USB-A port on your computer. Turn on your Kodiak using the power switch on the back of the printer.
2. Insert the DuraLabel Kodiak Installation CD into your computer’s CD drive. When the DuraLabel Kodiak startup screen appears, choose Install Driver. (To continue without a CD drive, or for updated software in the future, you can also download the software at GraphicProducts.com/support.)
3. Accept the license agreement and click Next.
4. Choose an installation directory; by default, this will be “C:\Program Files (x86)\DuraLabel Kodiak.” Then, click Next.
5. Review the installation details and click Finish to install the driver. You will see a progress bar as the software is installed.

You will be prompted to restart your computer to complete installation. Save any work before restarting.
