Review on 🖨️ Efficient Brother QL-600 Desktop Label Printer - 2.4" Label Width by Patrick Arnautov

I'm not a fan of reviews but when I bought this machine there weren't any reviews so let's get started. - This is a brand new model, so it has a long service life ahead of it. - The cost is very cheap compared to other similar models. (Maybe it's because I was the first to buy it on Amazon.) - Built-in cutter cuts labels after printing. - Prints directly from Google Chrome, should work with everything, no additional software/viruses. You only need drivers. (on Windows 10) - Many types of labels are available. Nice touches: - The device comes with a USB cable, I didn't open it but it looks like a 1m cable. - The device does NOT require a power supply, it includes a direct power cable from the wall to the device. It can be removed for transport. The division doesn't seem to care about using non-genuine labels. It seems that there are no functions for the printer to refuse to work with such labels. However, use of these links is at your own risk. (And may void your warranty.) I bought this machine to (almost exclusively) print mailing labels. I don't have enough mail volume to print entire sheets at once, and it's not worth connecting a laser printer to the network to print directly onto envelopes. However, the volume is large enough that writing addresses becomes mandatory. This device is quite small and should easily fit in most deep drawers in the office if you pull it out to use from time to time. I would not recommend putting this device on its side in such a box, it looks very nice and you can scratch it. Some cons of the car: - Lots of shiny plastic. Glossy plastic LOVES to pick up scratches that don't make it shiny. For most people this will never be a problem. For those select few who want to carry this in a large bag somewhere, consider putting it in a separate cloth bag to protect it if you want it to stay shiny. - Untenable. I mean it's pretty obvious. If you are using it in a factory for shipping labels or product identification labels, it will work fine as long as there are no hidden oil splatters/mist in the area. It's not airtight, so it probably won't last long in an environment where there's more than a little bit of dust in the air. It looks like it will be difficult to clear the jam. I haven't gotten that far yet, but at first it looks like it's a total loss if something gets stuck between the feeder and the output/cutter. (And a piece of paper folded a few times can't open it) I've been torn between Dymo and Brother for label printers, a couple of friends have indicated that they've used Brother products extensively in the past so I went for this decidedly new brother as my label companion. I hope for a long life. I am not including photos in the review as the device looks exactly like the photos. The downside is that none of the photos show the power or USB cables connected. If anything comes up, I'll update this review. Feel free to ask any questions. Original review date: Jun 27, 2020 Updated September 21, 2020 Quick update: I've printed 250 labels in a few months with no problems. Would I recommend this label printer? Yes absolutely. Long update: I am currently using the printer wirelessly via an OpenWRT travel router and setting up a network printer. This requires additional software and setting up my travel router. I set up the printer as a TCP/IP printer on my Windows 10 computer with no additional software requirements. The steps required to make this printer network-ready are fairly simple, but unless you already have the knowledge and equipment to do so, it probably isn't worth your time. For those wondering what software I used on the router and configuration: Software packages: kmod-usb-printer , set up p910nd p910nd as bidirectional. A reminder to ensure your firewall is open on the router's LAN for the printer port. (Default port 9100) OpenWrt has a good guide on how to do this.
