I cannot use another brand label. I have some labels which I could use on my old printer Zebra but not on new brand Brother, Why?

G'Day Hilmi: I believe the Brother is a proprietary design that uses proprietary labels that do not have an aftermarket replacement supply on the market yet.

I don't know I have only used Brother. I will say I really like this printer !

I really cannot say. I looked over my machine but I do not see that Key. However, I would Strongly Suggest that you contact Brother USA at 800 276 7746 M-F 7am 9pm EST. They have Very Good Tech Service and they Answer the Phone. I have used their Printers for some years now, and 1 Label Machine. All have worked well. One Printer quit after 3 years and they Promptly sent me a NEW updated unit, FREEEEEEEE!!!........You cannot get Better Customer Service than that.......

I have no problem with the labels. They work perfectly with any printer. I think they are really good for the price I paid.

For label printing software, I got Stamps.com and use theirs. It works well, and has a driver for zebra printers. In addition, the printer works under windows as a normal printer of 4" wide and 6" tall print paper.

I have not tried either so any response would only be a guess and that holds little value. I can say that I am pleased with the printer and the incredibly good Brother support. I imagine that Brother would be happy to answer. Sorry I cannot help you.

As far as I know only Brother labels can be used because the labels have to be on a reel that is only sold by Brother. Check with Avery to make sure.

I have no idea. I do not have that particular printer. Call brother corporate is my best guess. Sorry I could not be more helpful. DW

Yes, you just need to remember which one you are using and identify it. Otherwise, you sit there like a dummy wondering why nothing is printing....lol. Not that I am saying I have done that.....however...ok, I have.

I found generic labels on Amazon that were made specifically for this Brother printer and they worked fine. They were significantly less expensive.

I am not on a mac system, but knowing the quality of Avery Labels I would assume they are capable of being used on multiple systems. Many labels sheets say don't run through the printer but once, but its never been a problem for me to print 1-2-3 or what ever # and then repeat using the same sheet of labels.

I also wonder if older firmware is better for compatibility. The most current firmware available for my Brother MFC-J450DW is version "H". I didn't download it since my printer is working fine. The existing firmware on my machine is version "E" (To check for firmware on your machine, Go to Menu, use arrow key to scroll to "Machine Info" then "Version") My printer detects these inks with no problem.

You can sue a generic version. In fact I recommend it. Mine broke down before I got through even 1 cartridge, brother refused support because it was already a year old. If you haven't already purchased this printer, don't.

Leann I would ask the company. Or I would look up the help at Brother's help area. I have no idea. I just buy the cartridge and my daughter puts it into the laser printer and handles it.

Not that I know of. But you should check on Brother website to be sure. I don't use it everyday. I have had labelers before, and never added anything but the tape.

This is my opinion only. When it comes to supplies for something I depend on I use the manufacturer's labels. I've never used the aftermarket ones. In my Brother laser I use just Brother toner. In my Canon laser I opted to use the lesser cost aftermarket toner but haven't formed an opinion on that yet.

When setting up the printer there is something (I can't remember what it's called) that if you said yes it will block your ability to use any other ink but Brother. Perhaps you can call YoYoInk and they may be able to help you. I found out about this while reading reviews before I purchased my Brother printer. As a result I said no and have not had a problem. Sorry I can't be more help
