Cord braid does not fit Other office equipment

I cannot set the cord wrap function. Do they assume that all cables are the same thickness? You can do this from a computer, but templates cannot be updated. Why is the function straight?

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • I am concerned

From what I understand it is excellent

Loved this label printer. Only used twice but it was great. Nothing but good words to say. Unfortunately it was stolen when my work truck was broken into and I can't see it further than those two times.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Too long wait

You can't go wrong with P-Touch.

Great label maker. I've used several for work including this one. This one makes large and small labels. You can also connect it directly to your computer using Brother's software which is also great and FREE! If you want there is also an SDK that you can use and create your own software. I used it to create an application that is used every day.

Pros
  • I hold my fists
Cons
  • I can hurt myself

I'm having an issue with the standard cost of lots of ribbon due to the use of very large margins on both sides of your font. You can change the margin to save ribbon (some waste is inevitable due to cutter placement) and Brother Support tells you it will stay that way until you remove the batteries. BUT THEY ARE LIES! He will return to wasteful mode at any time. Apparently they are in the business of selling ribbons, not printers. When I suggested changing the default it got blank becauseโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Ribbon

Great value label maker

This item was a lot more expensive than other Brother p touch label makers. But as they say you get what you pay for which is a good example. It can be plugged into the mains or run on regular batteries or the included lithium-ion battery. It has many options for printing labels, fonts, borders, etc. It also allows you to print multiple identical labels and automatically cut each one in between with a press of the print button between each printed label for easier cutting. It also appears to be

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Updates available

Pricey, but a noticeable improvement for the money.

Yes. Is it expensive. It's actually pretty big too. Check the measurements before ordering as I was a bit surprised. But damn it works. The automatic cutter is very good, the battery is powerful and seems to work well. The keyboard is comfortable to use and the screen is responsive and easy to read. After using many Brother TZ label printers of different quality, the user interface is MUCH better and the auto cutter makes using the ribbon much more efficient. 9600) and it works the same, justโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Change price

Cool, except for a

To be honest, it's more like 4.5 stars. Basically, it would have gotten 5 stars if there wasn't one thing that really bothers me. Every time I print a label, a blank label about 1/2 inch long flies out for no apparent reason. I tried disabling it but the only link I could find was that there was no way to prevent it. This is a big waste of money and time (because if you type a lot, you have to analyze spaces). That's really the only downside. Everything else is pretty good. The device is bigโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive
