*Since Windows keeps track of printers by port, each time you plug a printer into a port that isn?t configured, Windows assumes that it?s a new printer and tries to reinstall it. Our recommendation is to leave the USB Cable connected to the computer, MPS 150 Plus, or laptop, whichever operating system the DuraLabel is connected to. Identify the USB Cable with a label and wrap the cord out of the way until next use.
