BROTHERPTE550W Handheld Industrial Label Printer with Wi-Fi and Auto-Cutter - Carry Case - 24mm Labels, Orange

This is a very solid labeler, if you do a lot of IT labeling it's amazing with a zillion patch panel features and cabling options.It's also pretty straightforward to make labels using a spreadsheet and the computer software. The nice part of this is this acts like a totally wireless printer that roams around with you. It prints over wifi after you get it connected as a printer. When you boot it up you can see it connect to your wireless. Then you can do some nice chain printing and the labels just come out by where you're working.There is a beefy long lasting battery that frankly has never really gone done for me yet. It seems to last forever. You can also put in regular batteries if you ever get in a pinch.I've been using non-brother labels which have been working fine. Though off-brand doesn't do the "half-cut" feature as well but that is no fault of the labeler.Tip: Make sure to setup the printer drivers on your computer before trying to setup wifi. That's the only way I found to configure the IP address to work on my network. I plugged it into the usb port temporarily to set the right ID and give it a static IP. It took awhile to figure that out. They have software (BRAdmin Light) that helped.One slight downside is that the 36mm tape (very wide) doesn't fit in it.Other than that, it's a real pro tool.

Facile à utiliser et le format est bon.

I've used the cheapy $20 label printers for 10 years and while they certainly do the job, and are inexpensive and portable, there are things...... Like how difficult it is to get the backing off the sticker. How clunky it is to make several labels quickly. And they are only convenient if you don't want to do anything fancy. The moment you try to make them look different, you're into menu diving and it slows you down. It can only only print horizontally and on 1 size of tape.Enter this monster. It's industrial strength build quality makes it feel like one of those things UPS drivers carry with them. Feels solid. Comes in a case you could happily throw from a moving vehicle without worry.The use by itself, is easy, and I was printing LAN identifier stickers in minutes. Thought it was great. Then I tried USB and the software, and that was even better. How could it get any better? Then I tried the IOS app and wifi mode, and carried it around the house with me, and printed a ton of lan and cable identifier stickers, labeled my smart home switches so people can tell the ceiling fan switch from the light switch. Labeled a bunch of parts boxes and stuff with text and barcodes for figuring out where my stuff in in my over crowded storage boxes.This took hours, and it didn't run out of battery, or give me any headaches. You get used to stuff not worknig, or not working in the way you hope it will work, because things are never easy, but this thing basically does what it says it does, and it does it without fuss or troubleshooting being required. It just works, and once you label all your audio, video, computer, and network cables and never again have to guess what you're unplugging later, you will beam with joy.

This unit is worth everything you pay for it and more. Easy to use either alone or connected to a computer or iPad. You can design and save complex labels. I recently build a Hydraulic Test Bench and the customer needed it to be properly labeled. We were talking about Engraved White/Black plastic labels but they loved the 3/4" Black on Yellow Labels. I also did the whole machine on a little more than 1/2 a cartridge. The engraved labels would have cost me as much as this whole machine. Great carrying case too. The tapes are about 3 times longer than the competitors tapes.
