A label printer that does it’s job.
I’m not much for writing reviews, but this machine had no reviews when I purchased it, so here we go.Pros:- Works great.- Feels like a tank.- Looks nice.- It’s a brand new model so it has a long service life ahead of it.- Cost is very favorable against other similar models. (This might be because I was the first one to purchase it on amazon.)- Built in cutter cuts labels off after printing.- Prints directly from Google Chrome, should work with anything, without any extra software / bloatware. Only the drivers are needed. (Running windows 10)- Lots of label types available.Nice Touches:- The unit includes a USB cable, I haven’t opened it but it looks to be a 1M long cable.- The unit does NOT need a power brick, it includes a straight line power cable from the wall to the unit. It’s detachable for transport.- Unit doesn’t seem to care about non-genuine label usage. There doesn’t appear to be any functions for the printer to refuse to operate with such labels. However usage of these labels are at your own risk. (And may void your warranty.)I bought this unit with the intention of printing (almost exclusively) mailing labels. My volume of mail isn’t enough that I need to print whole sheets at once, and doesn’t warrant attempting to connect a laser printer to the network to print directly onto envelopes. However the volume is large enough that writing addresses is a chore.This unit is fairly small, and should easily fit into most deep drawers in an office setting if you intend to pull it out for use occasionally. I wouldn’t recommend laying this unit on it’s side in such a drawer though, it looks really nice and you might scratch it.Some cons of the machine:- It’s lots of shiny plastic.Shiny plastic LOVES to collect scratches that make it not shiny. For the majority of people this will never be a concern. For the select few people that plan on taking this in a tote bag somewhere, you’re going to want to put it in a separate cloth bag to protect it if you want it to remain shiny.- Not Rugged.I mean, it’s quite obvious. If you intend to use this in a factory for mailing labels or product id labels, it’ll work fine as long as the environment doesn’t have any latent oil spray / mist in the environment. It’s not sealed so it likely wouldn’t last very long in an environment with anything more than some dust in the air.- Looks like it’d be difficult to clear out a jam.I haven’t reached that point yet, but initial looks are that it’s a complete tear down if something gets jammed between the feeder and the exit/cutter. (And a piece of paper folded over a couple times can’t un-jam it)I was torn between Dymo and Brother for label printers, a few friends had indicated that they’ve used Brother products extensively in the past, so I choose this new Brother as my label companion. I hope to get a long service life out of it. Not including photos in the review because the unit looks exactly like in the pictures. Minus the fact that none of the pictures show the power or USB cables connected.If anything arises I’ll update this review. Feel free to ask questions as well.Date of original review: June 27th of 2020Update September 21st of 2020Short update: I’ve printed ~250 labels in a few months without issues. Would I still recommend this label printer to others? Yes, absolutely.Long Update:I am currently using the printer wirelessly using a travel router that has OpenWRT and configuring a network printer. This requires additional software and configuration on my travel router. I set up the printer on my Windows 10 machine as a TCP/IP printer with no additional software requirements. The steps required to make this printer network based is pretty straight forward but unless you already have the knowledge and equipment to do it, it’s probably not worth your time.For those interested in what software I used on the router, and the config:software packages: kmod-usb-printer , p910ndConfigure p910nd as bidirectional. Reminder to make sure your firewall is open on the lan of the router for the printer’s port. (default port 9100) OpenWrt has a good guide on this.

Incredible Printer!
I do a LOT of shipping and I wanted to replace my Dymo Labelwriter 450 (it keeps printing lines and the recommended cleaning didn’t work no matter what I did). I needed something easy to use with great quality. This printer fits the bill and it was exactly what I wanted!SET UP: It’s easy to set up – you just plug it in, set the labels in the slot (super easy), let the PC recognize it, download the driver and the P-Touch Editor, and you’re done!CREATING LABELS: I opened the P-Touch Editor, selected the label size (I got the 2-inch continuous feed), and created a label for myself. It printed very quickly and it cuts itself!CONTINUOUS LABELS: I realized that if my customer’s name is long, I just make the label longer by clicking on the end of the label in the editor and dragging it to the right length. Since the label cuts itself (a setting you can turn on or off), it’s always the perfect size!EXTRAS: I can add photos, images, clip art, whatever to the label and it prints beautifully. The software comes with about 100 fonts so there are plenty to select. I can connect to databases and Excel spreadsheets to import addresses. And, I can include barcodes, frames, tables, pictures, symbols, and calendars!Excellent quality and way more than I expected! I’m super happy with my purchase!

Needs better program for printing
Good printer,fast. Took me awhile to figure out what i was doing. The program were hard to understand, only used one. Hoping other ones are easier to use. I did get it to print but feel like theres alot im missing out on alot of features. Should of made a simple mode. Plus would of been nice to be able to use without computer.

Quick, efficient and easy to use printer for great value.
Works as advertised. Please note that the labels that come with the printer are probably not the ones you will need if you are using this for addresses, but you can find alternative labels on Amazon or through other 3rd parties.

Never buy this product. Complete garbage.
Absolute piece of garbage. Brother forces you to use P-Touch. So if you want to print labels directly from any other software program it will not let you as you can’t add a printer driver directly from your computer. To use P-Touch, I have to save a file to a PDF, copy that PDF to an image. Import the image to P-Touch and then print.I do not recommend this product at all. P-Touch is a cool program – but is absolute garbage if you need to use this system for anything else outside of their program. Great job Brother.

Well suited for my needs
I send a few letters out a week with gift cards. Doesn’t sound like much, but I procrastinate the task due to having to address them. I set up a template and easily copy and paste the recipient’s address using the P-touch software. The label includes the return address with a logo and the mail-to address. I believe there are warnings that this does not print standard FedEx and UPS shipping labels. So be mindful of that, but for me, the mailing label is fine.Second task it quick labels for storage boxes. Again, simple and fast.

Works well… difficult to set up
We had a hard time hooking it up to my MacBook. But was able to do it. Then it didn’t come with an app or program for designing. Thankfully I had Canva and was able to make a design on that.. but then had difficulty getting it to print the right size on the labels. Had to mess with the printer settings quite a bit. But now that it’s all set up.. I really like that it requires no ink. And the print quality is good considering it does not use ink

I just got this printer set up last night after having it sit on my table in the box for a few days after I received it…trying to decide if I really needed it. The verdict…I absolute LOVE it!!! It zips out great looking labels so fast and doesn’t take up much space on my desk. Definitely a keeper!

Cliente de Amazon –
Compré esta impresora por el precio, pero no se puede configurar para usarla en México. Además, como no se vende este modelo en México, Brother no da soporte sobre este modelo. Y no se encuentran refacciones.

La utilizo para mí negocio tiene la opción para personalizar las etiquetas. Me encantó y está a un excelente precio.

Good little printer and does what it does.If you print off lots of labels it tends to overheat and has to pause for a moment as it cools off.Otherwise this works great. And it’s as easy as a typical laser printer to operate.
