Ok printer, worse reliability and support
on December 12, 2025

Great when it works. Has issues with any other app besides Brother app which isn't compatible for our needs. Regularly has issues with iPad and misprints labels. When asking support, I have to buy their labels and only use their app to get help. I would go another route.
Works great, a little slow and I can’t get it to print the round labels I got. I have to use the continuous labels and have it cut every 1.5 inches for my grab&go’s.
As the title says, this software was impossibly tedious to install and attempting to install it on my coworker's computers has been somehow worse. This along with the P-touch editor seem like strange out dated aspects to this supposedly modern helpful tool. P-touch Editor is kind of neat with all the clip art and templates, it has the feeling of old old Microsoft word but formatting is strange and again tedious. I imagine we'll get more comfortable with it as time passes but for now it's hard to get over the annoyance of 4 different user manuals and an hours long software installation process.

I found this printer very hard to setup. I double label for file folders seems to be missing.

Works as advertised. The biggest issue is that when the power goes out, it doesn't automatically reconnect to the wireless network. That's not great. We had to stick a UPS on each one to avoid this from happening if the lights go out for a few seconds.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these little printers. We have the small and larger version of it and they are great. Easy to use, great software and quick printing even from the phone. I only connect with BT since its so convenient and never disconnects.
