This label maker was so easy to set up. I set it up with my phone and minutes later I printed a label. The set up for the laptop/computer took a bit longer, but the labels have a TON of options. I bought this label maker as an upgrade from my old hand-held label maker. This label maker can take labels of different sizes up to .94mm (just under 1"). I have already replaced my tiny 1/2" labels. I love that you can buy labels of different colors- It really makes the labels stand out.
I want to clarify that the product description and set up materials state that the labeler MUST be connected to the computer and they provide a USB cable.
Does not print wirelessly from my new MAC...needs to be connected via usb cable

Unfortunately the Brother PTP710BT machine does not connect wirelessly or via Bluetooth with computers. This model supports Bluetooth connection only with mobile devices.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT YOU CANNOT PRINT A CABLE WRAP WITH THIS MACHINE. If you use the phone app, there is no option for it. If you use the PC app, it will give you an error when you try to print. -EXCEPTION- If you have very small cables the 24mm wide tape is wide enough to wrap, but if you have larger cables like a standard 14/3 extension cord or RG-11 or anything 6awg or bigger, you are out of luck. You cannot print at a 90* orientation with horizontal text. It's ridiculous. The PT-E500 and PT-E550W can almost do a cable wrap (they have other dumb issues), but this printer cannot even do anything resembling a cable wrap.

By working with my Windows tablet via USB and my android phone via Bluetooth, this printer offers me flexibility and creates quality labels. Allowed me to get rid of an old standalone clunky label printer, and still have portability.
