@@coasterchris01What issues are you having? Its usually user error and we can fix that right up with a tutorial, all printer support is non existent. Thats why I have a job.
why did i learn more about retail in the first 13 seconds of this video than ANYWHERE else on the web?
🤷♂️
Currently, Amazon is being super shady with surge pricing on this printer. I watched it go up $60 in 1 hour. Plan on purchasing it at some point based off your review. Thank you!
Yeah it's high now but it'll come down when Amazon restocks after the craziness. It's a good printer we love it.
It was available on ebay yesterday for $285 and I purchased that last unit they had. You could have beaten me if you also checked ebay, since your comment was 2 days ago. lol
Heck, Just checked Brother has it on their website for $279.99 with Free Ground Shipping. Just get it there! Im seriously thinking about it myself. I have a small Etsy shop and tired of printed the labels on my home printer, cutting it down then taping it down on the packages...I use a lot of tape! Just hard for me to want to spend $280 plus tax for just a label printer.
@@UnKnown-jp1bv do you mostly print USPS? A 2x7 label printer might be a very good affordable alternative for you. I have a video today talking about the new rollout in pirateship.
Yes sir, what ever Etsy prints (USPS) I believe it’s 2x7 labels. Tired of using my ink jet printer and shipping tape. Lol.
“We’re not gonna mention any names”
Drags “name” through screen 🤣
Hahaha glad you caught that 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
Yeah. That's called poignant...
This is the best printer I have ever had, still going strong for years and thanks for the tip on the Amazon stickers!
thank u!
Thank you sooooo much! I haven’t been able to find this anywhere. Not all of us are tech savvy or knowledgeable, you have no idea how much you just helped me getting my eBay business to the starting line!
You are welcome. You can use many different printers, this one is wireless which is a plus but there are much cheaper options out there. You can use a regular printer with eBay too if cost is an issue.
I actually bought the DYMO without realizing it wasn’t Bluetooth... since I run my entire online store from my iPad pro I need to print wirelessly. Guess I’ll grab this one instead. Can’t believe it’s 2020 and they make non wireless printers still.
I'm sorry for you loss. Hopefully it's still in the return window. I agree completely. 2020 and dymo is from 2004 unchanged 😢
Tell me about it..im glad i didnt purchase the roller or dymo becuz of this video i realized it wasnt wireless
Makes NO sense at all.. The technology is really cheap and would not affect the cost of the unit much at all. Just goes to show that some companies stay in the “Blockbuster” mindset.
thecollegepicker So this brother printer will work off of Bluetooth only or do I need a WiFi connection? I need to print shipping labels remotely sometimes so I don’t always have WiFi available.
@@NovemberFoxtrotRC Ive got the bluetooth only function to work with android/windows but not with mac/ios. It also has a usb if needed.
you already had me sold from the intro itself bruhhh
thank youuuuuuu!!
Haha you are welcome

This is a great printer after fight with 2 dymo's over 4 years. After watching this video I bought the printer and bulk labels from amazon. The new brother unit worked good for about 4 months and then would not power on. Every morning when I print my eBay labels, I have to re power the unit on. I had to message brother over 2 weeks, but they sent me out a refurbished unit at now cost. The bad deal was printing the old way and taping the labels on packages for 3 weeks. The new refurb unit seems to be working fine. I would get so mad at that DYMO. The dymo labels would rollup on the feed bar and I would always dread reloading it. This brother is so nice to work with and I'm glad I seen this video.
Appreciate it! If you bought the brother and it stopped working after 4 months the company should replace it because they have a warranty. I hope they didn't charge you for a replacement 🤝
Anyone else die when he pulled the Dymo away slowly? 😂😂😂😂
🥀💀
I am a reseller and have been trying to find a printer that’s either Bluetooth, or will print from my Samsung Chromebook. You wouldn’t believe how hard it is to find a printer that I can do that with. Your videos have made it so easy for me. Looking to purchase one of these very soon thank you for your help!!
You are very welcome =)
I was feeling that intro 😂😂
😅😅 appreciate it 🙏🙏
I bought a Zebra printer based on another video you made then saw this. The lack of true Mac support on the Zebra was an issue. The media for the Brother is relatively cheap and on a continuous roll! I don't even need to swap out media to print a 1" file label as the auto cutter will just snip it and I can trim with scissors if I need. A great product and well worth the money. There are plenty of deals to be had just shop around. Got mine £150 less than the Brother website.
Awesome to hear! Glad you are enjoying 😅
Great video! The last time I searched for a wireless label printer I was dumbfounded that there was absolutely nothing! I don't know if I just missed this or if it came out since I looked last, but this seems a lot closer to what I'd expect for 2020. Thanks for the demo!
You are welcome. It's about a year or two old, just nobody bought it and tested it out and made a video 😅. 🙏 Thanks for watching
Bought this printer a couple of months ago. Was looking for a wireless label printer for awhile. Very happy with the performance and reliability. Thanks for highlighting the Brother wireless.
It's an awesome machine. Glad to hear your experience with it! Not much coverage about it on the internet no I'm happy to produce. Thanks for watching 🙏🙏
Marvellous review! Made me purchase one since it’s for exactly what I want ! Thank you! Keep it up 👏🏻
You are welcome 😊
@@thecollegepicker do need to replace ink? Please
@@favourjohnson5844 These do not use ink.
@@thecollegepicker thank you so much for your kind and quick respond.
You are welcome
PSA: I’ve gotten this printer and had trouble initially setting up using WPS with an iMac. I used the usb cable that came with it and downloaded all the recommended software from brother. Then I connected via WiFi while the printer was attached via cable to the computer. When I would unplug the cable the printer would read “offline.” I shut the printer off and reconnected to WiFi and it’s all connected now. Usb cable is unplugged and we are chugging away via AirPrint. Don’t give up. I found that once the WiFi password has been imputed WPS will work, but not before.
Appreciate the thoughtful walkthough =)
Yasssss! I'm so glad I found your channel. I needed this info. I was gonna do a Dymo but people kept talking about the software issues so I held off. Now I can make a decision on a machine that won't frustrate the hell out of me. I have a Mac and as you may know it doesn't always play nice with outside software lol! Thaks again.
You are welcome 😊 thanks for watching
I love brother products.
Bought one of their cheapest laser printers. Has printed thousands of pages without a hiccup.
Can't say that about epsom or HP.
Woah, I had searched for a wireless thermal 4x6, and didnt think anybody made one yet. Which did seem off for 2020, or even 2010. Is crazy how much the price jumps from say the Dymo 450/Turbo to the 4XL for the print head...and its not wireless. Rollo looks to make a better, easier to use printer than Dymo, minus the external label stack taking up desk real estate. Thanks CP!
Right! 10 years behind. China has some Bluetooth sausage style ones like Rollo that are clunky and terrible workflow. Rollo is working with China on a new private label wireless one that should come out this year. Except the sausage style and all the desk space 😞. Thanks for checking out the video 🙏🙏
This was 100% helpful to me... I’m starting my online natural hair care line and I wanted something convenient and easy to manage and not too bulky. So I will consider it. And it has lots of features! Thanks!
I have the non wireless version and love it!
Way better quality than the dymo on that one too. 🔥
Does it work with generic labels?
Do you have to use the shipping label from Brother brand?
@@lailale7214 yes
Your video may have caused a "run" on this printer, no one anywhere has this in stock now, lol. I can't find this at any retail outlet or online, and everyone who has them listed, immediately refreshes to "backordered" when I actually try to buy them. This is crazy how popular this thing is. It must be this years "It" thing to have, lol your 23,000+ subscribers must all at once wiped out the planets supply. I am still thankful that you reminded me that printing from my phone is going to be a huge deal, and now that is a must for the label printer I am looking for.
Hi, It's virus supply issues. It wasn't like this early in the year but with supply chain disruption it's been a tough get.
Really want this but it’s freakin $600 on amazon now just crazy
Wow virus prices gone nuts. It'll come down again when they resupply.
thecollegepicker is there another brand you highly recommend for shipping labels? Currently binge watching all your videos 😂😂
They all have pros and cons. This one is the most fancy with mobile wireless printing. 🥰🙏 Appreciate the support
That's CRAZY I just got this one on Amazon for like $100 two weeks ago. wow!
Believe it or not you can get them for like 20$ or less on wish and they work.
I have been looking for a 6x4 printer for months and this is exactly what I need for amazon!! I was looking at zebra 420 but the amazon labels and 6x4 are unreal. Thank you so much
There's loads of these available in England for those who would be happy to pay international shipping
Hey can you provide with a link please? Im interested in purchasing one
I'll have one message me
I need too if there is any possibility
Hello I'm interested
I bought this printer based on your review! Was super excited to use it! However the brother iprint&scan connection with the printer has been the most frustrating setup I've ever dealt with, and it still wont work. The app wont even find the printer via wifi or bluetooth. 3 hours I lost troubleshooting. Sad, because wifi and bluetooth was the feature that pushed me to buy it.
Edit: Everything works great now :'D!! on their website it says Iprint&scan for the support & downloads which threw me off! no regrets purchasing this label maker
I'm so sorry to hear that! 😟 Did you follow the tutorials that I have or the printer instructions? Comments like this help me improve tutorials or help target specific problems in the setup. It could many things from a mac address filter on your wifi to incompatible devices (bluetooth doesn't work on iOS devices) I hope it will get sorted out 🙏
@@thecollegepicker thanks, I contacted brother support so hopefully it gets sorted! When I figure out the issue I'll let you know! Followed their instructions and yours when it wasn't working :( tried it out on Android and iphone. Will try the mac address filter! I want to love this printer 😭
Are you able to get a solid wifi light when you connect it to WPS? The starter labels they give you are 4.07x6.04 inches and I never mentioned that in my tutorials because I got it used. If the correct size label isn't picked it'll gibe a red blinking light error.
@@thecollegepicker Yup! Solid green wifi light! the printer itself is working fine through the computer, and it also shows up on my wifi and bluetooth on my phone! It just wont connect when using the brother iprint&scan app for whatever reason :( very weird.
Ahhh ok, that app doesn't work with this printer, it's not supposed to. I don't think I ever mention that app, where did you get that app from? You use brother print service plug in to get it working on android and ilabel is the app if you want to print custom labels. The picture of the app look nearly identical and I could see where you got confused now.
It's crazy how the price on Amazon now is $324.02USD
I'll just wait till the price goes down. Cause that's an awesome printer
Edit: the price on the Brother website is $279.99 USD
shiinel love today it's $379 on Amazon
Lolll it's now 600$
I have to wait
I just bought one on insight.com for $289. Most other sources were $40 or $50 over that price, if they had them at all. It's a hot commodity printer right now.
Forget that post above. I just found out that insight is out of stock too! :-(
A lot better device compared to DYMO in so many ways. Had two Dymo label printers - both broke really fast. Thanks for the video - it encouraged me to purchase my Brother printer!
I agree 💯 glad you are enjoying the brother much better design ☺️
Thanks a ton!!!!!!!!!! I’m convinced that this is the label printer I need!!
You are welcome 😊
I have never purchased anything from Shopify before, but it appears they have them in stock! Purchased for $279.00 plus tax + free 2-5 day shipping! I really hope this works out!!!
Thank you so much for this! I am currently looking for a thermal printer since I am sick and tired of spending money on toner lol
Very welcome. Toner is relatively inexpensive compared to ink. You may be able to refill the cartridges yourself depending on your model. Thanks for checking out the video 🙏🙏
Really well done. I was looking for a printer for Amazon FBA and the minute you said that, I light bulb went on in my head!
Glad I could help!
I’m an arkscan guy. Like dymo4xl. However that printer looks amazing
I'll get my hands on an arkscan one of these days 🤘🙏 that KS for checking it out. Appreciate you watching, it's a great printer.
@@thecollegepicker please recommend me a good color label printer.
Pais Latino n
@@thecollegepicker Can this printer any label paper brand?
Everyone explains about the best 4" x 6" printers and their compatibility with different platforms, but nobody considers or explains how to print, not only shipping labels, but also item labels, that is the most complex point of all printers, but no one addresses it. I would appreciate a video on that.
I have a bunch of videos of that on my channel 😃
@@thecollegepicker Thanks, I will check
Erick I subscribed to your channel (nice videos). I saw many videos for the Jiose printer, I followed your recommendations, but is no way I can print, the items labels for Amazon. I think I will buy a Rollo printer which have an chrome app, for people like me.
I actually laughed out loud at 4:15 😂
🤣🤣 you already know it 🙏🙏
I was finished!😂I came from why you shouldn't buy the Dymo, so it really killed me!
I had this printer and sent it back. It was slow and wouldn't automatically cut via my Mac Book. Now, the non-wireless version is amazing. I'll never by anything else. 👍
Hello. Mind me asking why the wireless unit would not cut? I was literally just about to buy one haha.
@@DaCake2 There is a button to cut, Mac uses airprint driver which doesnt have the auto cut functionality. Its a small feature.
I was reading this one has issues formatting for usps and ups. Do you recommend the Rollo???
I have not had any issues with this printer. I wonder if the problems were user error or what. The Rollo takes up more space but also has a cheaper price point, I have not personally had my hands on that printer 😥
thecollegepicker I agree with the taking up too much space but it is more affordable. They need to make this one cheaper
Yes it is about $100 cheaper. Some people have grabbed the brother used on eBay for about the same price as the Rollo.
thecollegepicker I haven’t had luck it’s all expensive on there for the brother. I checked yesterday
Rollo sucks I'm getting rid of Rollo to upgrade to another label printer
@thecollegepicker , I’ve bought the printer. Can we agree that not only does it print upside down, the labels are not sufficiently flat when coming out, which is in my opinion the annoying part of working with rolled up labels.
Yes I think that is fair. Some rolled label brands come out more rolled than others, which can also hurt with adhesive to boxes because sometimes corners will roll back and peel, not specific just to this printer though 😢
So I have to buy brother label rolls or I can use standard universal 4” labels ?
Great question! We go over that towards the second half of the video.
Thank you for all of your help!! I love this printer so much and by searching diligently was able to find one that wasn’t $300 before taxes! 💖
You are welcome, that's awesome! Good hunting skills 💪
Where
Omg where can I find one ???
The place I got it from raised the price but a quick search yielded this result:
www.bluedogink.com/brother-ql-1110nwb.html
Hope this works for you! If not, keep searching and you’ll find what you need.
00:55 wow very interesting, but not available in India
Oh no 😭 hopefully they will have it one day.
Have both the QL-1110NWB and the QL-810W. Got the 810 a few years ago, but wanted to do shipping figuring I'd sell off the 810 - They're not cheap right lol ... anyhow, as both are sat side by side, and I changed labels often in the 810 depending on what I needed. I figured I'll just keep both, keeping the one 1110 for shipping labels. Over £350 worth of printers ... worth it, for me, hell yes! They're excellent, never given me a days trouble. Great review!
Appreciate you letting me know your experience and checking out the video! Glad you are enjoying the setup =)
These are sold out EVERYWHERE!!!!
Saw some on ebay
Juicy Jam I just looked, 419.00 is a bit too expensive. Sheesh.
I know i guess we all have to wait😟
Yeah its crazy so hard to get now.
can you imagine how the price nearly doubled in 2 years? crazy.....
You're a legend!😂
Appreciate it mate 🙏
The brother better than the others 🤣🤣🥰🥰
I must have watched this in my sleep because I must have wished for it. I have it now and I went to learn about it and it says I watched the video half through. Thanks for putting this in my self conscious so when I saw it in the bins I grabbed it
You copped one from the bins!??? Scoreeeee
@@thecollegepicker creepy right. i thought i was a patch maker like a sewing machine thing cause it said brother.
What a score. By the lb.
@@thecollegepicker yes. i happy.
You get what you pay for. I used to fix Deli scales with thermal print heads. 50% alcohol is 50% water. Use 70% or 99% alcohol on a Q tip to clean the print head. Thermal labels can darken if the are kept in a hot area. Keep them in a cool dry place.
Appreciate the intel.
thank you so much for this video. I have a problem with my printer been offline for a week and it only took me 5 minutes of watching you to reset it and connected to my MacBook and to my iPhone via bluetooth :)
$389 now. Wow. Great video thanks!
This saved me so much time compared to writing it out each time. You are awesome!!!
You are welcome
I’m trying to do that to replace handwriting plain white envelope trading card orders. Anyway to do this on mac?
Thanks I like it much, Brother is well known brand, Love it's wireless, but it's a bit expensive...my business is just starting and still very small
Yes they make a great printer.
Hi can we use this printer to print recepit from pos system ?
Thanks
If you were to use it on your POS system you need to make sure your POS system supports it. Also, for the receipt paper you may need to use the Brother DK-N5224 roll however it is around 2 inches wide.
Thank you so much ! I been looking for this kind of printer like this one for almost 2 months , and every one I ask told me that didn’t exist ! ... I it does exist
Usually Android works with windows printers via dongle but the printer company gets paid to require a proprietary software in hopes you but a expensive laptop and a 3 year warranty.
Hi Mate,bought the printer after watcing your video but the brother labels are very expensive,are you able to suggest some compatible labels that do work with this printer without any hassle?
Dude thanks !!!! I’m printing off my phone. Most people dream of going to Europe. My dream was to print wirelessly from my phone. With that said….when I do off my phone it prints and take two labels each time. Is there a setting for phone that I need to adjust ?
After comparing it to my Dymo, this is a better buy! Wireless option is beyond above.
I agree, for my business the design, functionality, and compatibility is worth the difference.
I love Brother products, Ive used their fancy sewing machines and they are awesome, really tempted to buy this.
Yeah they make good stuff.
great video... does this printer also print gray color on the labels,or white text ... or just black? thank you very much
hi there, great video! just bought one. My question is, how do i print the amazon labels from my imac to the machine? I just tried and all the labels printed onto one single label! help please?! I wouldnt know how to print my SKU labels otherwise from my imac...
Hi
Did you solved the problem?
I have the same issue.
Thanks
Wow, very thorough! Thank you for taking the time. I am small in the eBay market with just a couple sales a week but needed to figure out a secret Santa wishlist since my big ass printer is a pain, esp since I don't use a desktop. I use a laptop. The budget was 100... So I will check out the other ones you mentioned In the description. Thanks again!
You are welcome. Happy to help.
There is a checkbox indicating "Adjust to 4" (101.6mm) label. Then explains "Adjust the printing margin when printing 4" (101.6mm) shipping carrier labels on 4.07" x 164mm) or 4.07"(103mm) continuous roll. If I select a 4" x 6" label the printer will not print and gives message that label is wrong size. Am I missing something obivious?
I have never used a label printer before And was wondering if this may be a good fit for my business I have to send out 75 or so invoices for people every Month having to write With pen Different addresses is there a way Using the app that I could save the addresses print out and put them on envelopes to go to their destination Thank you for your time have a wonderful day
GrEat video. Thank you for explaining the pros and cons of the printer.
You are welcome 😊 thanks for checking it out, glad you enjoyed it.
I print all of my labels from my desktop at home. Is there any advantage to using a wireless printer? Can I save money by not going with a wireless printer? This one is a bit pricey for me. Any recommendations for a more budget-friendly option would be appreciated.
Great video! Will the ink fade after few years as this is a thermal printer. I want to use this for Scrapbooking.
Thanks for this info. Wish I had seen this from the beginning before I started looking into printers! Since it doesn’t both sizes it’s better to have this printer than having to buy more than one!
You hit everything point as a reviewer. Thanks
Hello! Appreciate the video - can I check if this supports remote printing out of the box? i.e. printing from home WIFI, with the printer connected to office WIFI
Two questions: 1.) Can this be used with WIX? 2.) Can you also print packing slips?
I have never used wix but if they format in 4x6 then yes, and packing slips yes but this printer is not perforated with the labels so it will become a workflow issue with a lot of order.
Good to know! You gave me the exact information I needed! Very much appreciated!!!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
There is always a hack to get by using other labels. This one seems like an easy fix! Keurig tried the same thing!!!
The labels need to have the black squares and the foot, its called DK labels. Its a design thing =(
thanks for the video Eric! @thecollegepicker it's great. if you know the answers to these questions I'd appreciate the input. 1- I saw you printed the amazon skus from a PC, assuming it also works for Mac? 2- does the printer only print out the smaller labels because it's recognizing the skus? can I print standard just text on the smaller labels and it will work for that too?
May not works in the same way on mac. But you should be able to print skus in some way.
And yes. You can print anything on any labels in black and white.
Love how easy this looks! I’m super excited to get mine set up!!
It's an awesome printer you will love it.
Hi! Have you actually attempted to use other normal labels on the brother printer? If so how does it respond? Thank you!
It will not work because it has a sensor that reads the black square which tells the machine the distance between labels.
Best intro ever!
Could you please make a video or comment some 3rd party affordable labels for this printer! love your work
He made a whole video on that topic. Look on his channel for a video about cheap labels.
Great video! Purchased printer. Any advice on how to center USPS or UPS labels?
Thanks! Have you set the source label settings to 4x6?
Hi, thank you, for this video! I want to know, does it work with USPS labeling as well and when it print out is it a sticker? Thanks again!
Yes and yes 😊
thecollegepicker Thanks again!
Thanks for the info I was looking all over UA-cam for a good video on this printer and you nailed it. Thanks again great video.
Appreciate you checking it out! 🙏🙏🙏Lemme know if you have any questions about it
Are you able to use the wps button to make it sync up with a mobile hotspot? Also how would I do that on a galaxy s21? Any information is greatly appreciated
Thanks for this helpful information! So techy!
You are very welcome. Tha ks for watching 🙏🙏
Thanks much, this is exactly what I was looking for.👍
You are welcome.
Thanks for this review. I'll be getting the QL-1100 (non wifi version) for printing etsy labels. I thought about the rollo but I like having all the labels on a roll inside the machine. I don't need the wifi feature so I can save $100 by getting the usb version. I've been using generic labels in my QL-570 for years now and they work just fine.
You are welcome. You can print Etsy labels in 2x7 format with pirate ship with your ql570 if you really want to save some cash 🙌. Limited to USPS domestic but still awesome feature.
@@thecollegepicker Oh awesome! I didn't know that. I'm fine with USPS domestic; that's what I use most of the time.
I have a video on my channel talking about the 2 by 7 roll out with pirate ship. it kind of explains the integration and it's a really cool hack to use that printer for Etsy.
Thanks, I'll check it out! I appreciate you giving me the heads up and saving me some cash. :-)
@@thecollegepicker All set up! That was super easy, thanks dude! Subscribed!
Thank you for posting this video! This thermal printer is exactly what Im looking for.
Glad I could help!
What software do you use to create the labels on your devices? Does the printer come with it or is it a 3rd party software?
Edit: I should've waited till the end of the video lol
Which settings do I need to use to print out single barcodes when Amazon gives me a full A4 page of barcodes?
Thanks for the thorough review and great info. At the end of the video you recommend this printer for a home business. What do you recommend for use in a commercial business?
It would depend on the commercial needs. Zebra is usually the supplier of commercial printing systems because they are so customizable.
Hello!
Thank you for the video. I would like to know if continuous rolls can be used as in the Brother QL810W.
Thanks!!
Such a great review! I think I may just get the zebra printer you reviewed from eBay
That's a good printer too!
Question: Does it print in color, and, can you upload your own label designs from JPG or PDF?
Good question, it does not print in color.
Love the video, I’m about to buy one right now but this is the wide format version right? If I get the regular QL-1100 will it take the same paper?
Yes it will take the same paper labels but that version is just via USB it doesn't have the mobile capabilities.
Thank you 😊
You are welcome
Someone probably mentioned this somewhere but you shouldn't be using 50% alcohol as obviously it contains 50% water. Use no less than 97% and preferably 99%. alcohol. Water causes rust... you need this to evaporate quickly. Yeah, I'm in the tech field... if this has already been pointed out... sorry for the duplicate.
Hi, thermal printheads are glass surfaces, I don't think it will make anything rust if you are cleaning it with a small amount in a specific area.
@@thecollegepicker Only the printing surface is glass, there is metal in there, including the connector, mount and cutter in most thermal printers. I haven't looked inside this particular model, but why take a chance. Water in electronics is never a good idea. You simply can't go wrong with 99% alcohol if it drips or if you slip up. It's just a best practice for cleaning tech. 99% isn't expensive, evaporates quickly (unlike water) and if you have it around, you can use it on various other electronics that will need cleaning from time to time where water is strictly taboo. Been doing this for over 35 years. I'm not trying to be critical, just trying to help others out there.
Great videos. Are you able to send labels to this printer when out of town (without VPN, etc.) so family can ship for you when away? This would be similar to HP ePrint functionality (and presumably the Zebra ZSB?). Strongly prefer this printer over the Zebra except for this possible caveat. Thanks for the input!
Help! I have the exact same printer and it cuts every two labels instead of every label and I have tried to tinker with all settings i could find but still no change. I didn't have this problem when i used the genuine brother labels that came with the printer but since i switched to a cheaper label which is exactly 4x6 inch (the genuine brother labels were 4.07x6.4 inch) But if I adjust the setting to 4x6" it'll show this error " The media installed in the machine does not match the one selected in the application."
I just changed mine out as well and it is printing and cutting every 2 labels as well! I'm trying to trouble shoot it! It must be the registration mark??
@@cvelazquez09 I'm not sure either. When I print directly from Chrome browser it cut every label as normal. Seems like it only cut every 2 labels when I print from Acrobat Reader or P-touch Editor.
Great video! Seems like a great product. However do you have to buy the roll from brother? Or you can but it from third parties?
Yes there are third party labels some are posted in the description.
Hi great video just what I was looking for after spending hours researching! I think il purchase this one, one question you mentioned you need to change on the settings when you change the paper roll size how do you do that?
You will have to change the settings on the computer. If you still are getting the red light try resetting the printer Turn off the printer.
Press and hold the Power ( ) and Cutter ( ) Buttons for about one second. ...
Continue holding down the Power ( ) Button, and press the Cutter ( ) Button six times to reset all settings (including device settings) to the factory settings.
Release the Power ( ) Button.
the starter roll that brother sends isnt the same as the amazon replacements and some people have problems with the transfer.
I have a dymo duo and love it. But it is for personal use. Ive herd bad things about the wireless dymo(just as far as set up) . I'll consider this if the dymo goes bad. Mine is probably close to 10-20 years old.
I had an Avery a good while ago which actually peeled the lables(was great) ... But it didnt last
Do you have a video on how to convert settings to print skus? Thanks in advance
