Met our needs perfectly. We have been very pleased with this product. Thought about buying a more expensive unit but now we are glad we went with value and simplicity over expensive with all the bells and whistles we probably would not use anyway.

this labeler fits very well in my desk area and is quiet, easy and allows usage of varied tape sizes. wish a power cord were included, or that power would be received via USB.

Wastes tape

Best Uses

Comments about Brother� PT1230PC PC Connectable Label Maker:

I love this label maker, my files have never looked this good! My only complaint is the long tape length that feeds before the print begins, making the labels too long to fit on letter size file folders without hand trimming. To get around that I type a bunch of labels in one long line and then cut them apart with scissors. It works but the labels end up all different lengths and renders their cutter unusable. Still it's much easier than using Word to print file labels and the results are nicer.

Comments about Brother� PT1230PC PC Connectable Label Maker:

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 is prefect for small spaces or tucking it away. The fact I can see the label on the computer screen is a major plus for me. My only complaint is as with the last label maker it leaves too much blank space in front of the label. I always have to trim at least 1/2 an inch. A waste of tape, but apparently there's no way around. This model does have a feature that keeps it from doing the same extra space on the back end of the label. It's SO easy to use, just plug and play, simple to add cute graphics, and I love that I can use so many more fonts and get really creative with my labels.
