Does this labeler waste a TON of tape on the left margin like the Brother units do??

NO! Thank god! I moved to this from a Brother unit, which by the way died on me after minimal use.

Yes I use lable from house labels all yhe time. You must make sure you use labels for the model type for that printer. Do labels will not work on Brother printers and vis versa. Www.houselabels.com you can find them here on Amazon.com

I just installed it today so I can't answer the question, though I presume the capacity is similar to Brother's. My first printouts looked fine, by the way.

The machine will always waste a half inch on the left side because this is how much it needs to feed to get the previous label out. I think this is due to their cartridge design, so I expect that any machine using TZ tape cartridges has this problem. But, if you look at your [Margin] setting, you can choose "Full", "Half", "Narrow", or "Chain Print". If you need to print multiple labels, use "Chain Print" and there will be nothing wasted between labels. Chain Print does not fully eject the label, so you need to hit "Feed" when you're done or the cutter will chop your last label in half. "Narrow" is the best you can get for a single label, and just cut off the leading half inch.

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.......

To get from the paper tray to the printer heads and out of the printer, the medium to be printed has to make a hairpin turn of maybe 1-2 inches radius. Regular copier paper has no problem with that, but the occasional adhesive CD/DVD label just might come loose from its backing, really gumming up the works. This applies to adhesive labels generally. I couldn't in good conscience recommend using this model for such an application.

I don't know, but there is a problem with this tape! The pack I ordered stuck to itself and couldn't pass thru the labeler. Amazon said to dispose of it, and they sent me a new one at no cost. The second one had the same problem. I returned it, and am awaiting a credit. I suspect these tapes are very old or were stored inappropriately. If no one can answer your ques. email DYMO and they'll advise you.

It is really awful! I try to make several labels at a time - like a long ribbon of labels I will separate before with scissors. This way, the printer cuts only one piece of blank paper.

I really don't know but when you look at the compatibility of the labels it does not mention this particular label printer. The Brother labels fit in the machine in a very specific way and other brands may not fit. But I really do not know. Perhaps you could ask users of these labels on Amazon.

Put the label length in AUTO and at least the print will be centered. I agree with leading tape of one inch it wastes expensive tape.

Bad design. The batteries are in series so one removed will do the same thing as removing all. I wrapped a piece of tape around one battery to make a tab to aid in removal. There is a small area below the battery area where you can store the removed battery. I wrote on the front of the labeler with a sharpie " Remove one battery after use. Brother sucks". Fixed the battery drain when off problem. Ken S

No. You must use Brother-branded labels, which come on a special reel. The configuration of the reel tells the printer what size labels are in the machine. This pissed me off at first, but this printer is so inexpensive and the Brother labels are not outrageously priced, so I got over it.

Somewhere in your program it has a box to check for printing one or two labels; if you check the two labels it will print both sides. If I only need to print one label and the other side is not used I just use it again for a single print label, put the label page in the printer with the label face down and first (with the used label part second)

It all depends on how long your labels are. It is a bit over 26 feet total label length, but you waste probably 3/4 inch every time it cuts a label off. If you want it to go farther, make several labels in one printing, and cut them apart with scissors, and you will get more labels on a cartridge.

It is just a copier. It has been great for me, been a real workhorse for almost two years and now the fuser has gone out. That is expensive to replace and I might just buy a new machine. When I do some research on why the fuser went I will decide whether to purchase another of the same machine.

About 1/2" margin from end of tape...just depends what your labeling if it's wasted tape. No way to adjust margins with this labeler. I just don't like the quality of the tape. It always curled up after a few weeks. It does not stick very well..good for temporary labeling.I would not use this labeler if it is used for your job...just nice for using at home once a month.I am using the Rhino 6000...now that's a labeler if you label a lot of stuff...many styles and types of labels...awesome features...best on the market for cable pullers....Netdoctor
