Brother P-Touch 1230PC

n/a

it needs 6 aaa batteries

The TZ label tape isn't super cheap but I would not recommend this machine for heavy use. If you are like me and want something for the quick occasional label without spending $80+ on a pro series label printer then its more than acceptable.

Small and simple. No install needed, loaded up software seconds after plugging it into my Win7 machine. Easy and intuitive makes it very simple and quick to make a label

It gets four stars for having to use 6 AAA batteries or having to buy an expensive adapter. If this were USB powered it would be perfect

Got this for $19.99 and saw where Newegg had it on sale for $9.99 today but it was sold out in no time, otherwise, I would have bought another at that price. The Brother wall adapter goes for around $24.00 but I was able to get an equivalent for less...

Easy to setup. Included light Software works well, allows you to save various profiles. Have not had a need to download the more fully featured software. Can be powered using an optional wall adapter

Uses 6 AAA batteries unless you opt for the somewhat pricey wall adapter. Wastes around an inch of tape at the start of each label ; Did not take off any eggs for this since the other Brother typewriter style labeler I have uses 4 AAA batteries, has no...

I have used many label makers and this is one of the best!!

Wastes tape

New Egg sucks on this one. Yes the fine print does say the power supply is extra.

Brother makes a pretty good label printer

Battery powered. Plan on buying the $23 power supply ; AAA batteries

Bought to satisfy needs other than print ship mail. Great for cleaning out and making new. Would recommend.

I need and love brother labelers. I do not like their pricing of units which are often on sale at such low prices, it is cheaper to buy a brand new unit for it's tape cartridge for LESS THAN THE REPLACEMENT CARTRIDGE (hence the reason I bought this...

Easy to use ; Can reduce the wasted blank tape compared to the typewriter models ; Just plug into USB and software does not need to be installed ; Choice of Font, and many other options that either don't exist or are too hard to find on the typewriter...

THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT TAPE CARTRIDGES ; (that goes for all brother labelers) ; Must have your computer booted up and ready if you want to use it for a quick label ; BATTERY LIFE TERRIBLE - MUST BUY POWER ADAPTER (unlike the typewriter style...

I got this label maker because I needed one for my office and got tired of borrowing one from other people. I used a great coupon to save even more but I thought the price was great even without the discount I received. I love the sleek design, which...

Too much blank space
