Questions & Answers

Could the model be used with tapes from other brands?

Unistar tapes that I have purchased through Amazon have been incredibly successful for me. Nothing is as good as the Brother originals, but I use a lot of tape because I am an IT Field technician. It is ESPECIALLY frustrating and tedious if you have to label faceplates in the field - lots of small labels! Furthermore, I have also found that I can print more than one label at a time by separating each label by five spaces. D- is therefore my typed letter The letter A15 (5 spaces), then the letter Then, adjust the spacing to A16 (5 spaces). Each individual label is then printed and cut to place on each faceplate, after I fill the buffer. Also, I prefer to set my margins narrow so that there will be less tape at the beginning and end of an image. Please accept my sincere thanks for your time!

Can you tell me how clear the font is? Occasionally, I've seen labelers where the font is somewhat pixelated. I appreciate your kind words! ?

It is not pixelized, the font has a very clear appearance.

What kind of spell check is there?

The spell check does not work. Label makers are just machines that print labels.

Selected User Reviews For Brother Pt-d400 Label Maker

It is a great device
5/5

I have just used it to label a few things with 12mm (1/2") and 6mm (1/4") tapes. A great job was done on the printing. I like the way you said that. As a pleasant surprise, I didn't need to reset any fonts for the 6mm tape to work. You just need to insert the 1/4" tape cartridge. Take your time and leave. There is no mention of the label maker in this story. Although the program is great, the manual is a nightmare. It took me a while to figure out how to avoid losing an inch of tape on each end of the page when You can disable the margin in the settings by setting it to NARROW. Although you will still have one wasted inch at the beginning, if you have several labels to print, just press SPACE twice and cut between each label. The printed labels should be folded in the middle along the long edge. I am pleased with this purchase, except that I have to peel off the two halves in order to expose the sticky part.

How long does it take for the broken stuff to be given away? We were stunned to find a handwritten post-it note with the name of a company (which we are not going to mention) and a case number as soon as we opened the product
3/5

The first thought that comes to mind is We just received a return of this product. I guess we just have to cross our fingers and hope for the best. *rnNonsense! I have come across a problem with the machine. When I try to set it up and print with the starter tape that's included in the package, it says the tape is not compatible with the machine. Therefore, I assume that there will be two post-it notes on the inside of this machine once you open it. The only problem is that you'll be stupid enough to buy it.

I found it to be excellent
5/5

Although it works perfectly, I won't be able to take advantage of all of its features. There were complaints about batteries in some of the complaints I saw. As long as your device is not defective, it should not cause any problems. I used to be able to get two years out of it after one set of six This still works, in fact. The batteries would have been in it if I hadn't taken the old ones out to replace them. use this a lot, just plug a wall wart in. The 9 volt in connector isn't difficult to find you probably have a few lying As of this writing, I have three. Order one if you don't already have The battery life is not going to be as short for most users

I have also seen people complain about the amount of waste tape it generates. It's common for tape printers to do that. You will find tips on how to reduce waste if you read the instructions. You can even avoid buying the product entirely if you don't want to buy it You can use tapes for touch. This is what I bought.

I am extremely happy with how my printing turned out Touching embellishments is also a great touch! It's a no-brainer Label makers like this one work very well
5/5

The P- worked Add some embellishment to the ribbons as well as some off-white You can find brand labels on many products. A video of the entire process can be seen here. Although I do leave about an inch of tape on either side of the label, taking into account how easy it is to use and the fact that I am able to use more inexpensive cartridges, I do not mind it. It's a ten out of ten recommendation!.

It's time for a modern update for the hard-working An outstanding replacement for my 15 years old Brother PT-200 In 1810, a friend brought it home where it is now part of her collection Although it is still going strong after 15 years of steady use, that isn't to detract from its durability
5/5

The scanner has all of the features I've grown to trust specific point sizes, alignment, tabs, tape length for files, three printer lines, or more depending on tape, QWERTY keyboard, symbols (who can tell where the corner of the scanner bed is without an This is the only part that's absent, and really, Brother, we're here to help As shown in the graph below, For about $10 more on Amazon, you can purchase an adapter for the d400, which can work with it. With this labeler I get a clean, modern look, a smaller machine than my old one, and a lighter machine in my hand. The 18 BOLD label is identical, which makes my labels consistent with my previous labelers. Labels from Brother do not yellow over time, unlike Dymo's, so many of the older labels are still in good condition after 8 to 10 years If you've ever stared at your drafted printer and thought to yourself, "Face up or face down?", then you know how it feels. There is a real need for a PT for you. If this cord goes to the DVD player or subwoofer, it goes to the DVD player. She did it all on her own, how did she do that? A good labeler will make all the difference! If you have a drawer full of random keys, a quart jar of screws, or anything else you need, just put it here. Can you imagine me sounding a little bit crazy? Look in my dresser, and you'll see the travel bottles labelled, with no mystery gunk inside. It is easy to sort the cables plugged into the surge protector based on tags in the computer box, as there are no phantom cables. I just thought I'd mention it.

It's not too bad, I noticed that there was a lot of tape waste
3/5

I haven't put it to hard use yet, so I'll keep this review pending. It works well so far, but I'll edit it if need be. Many other people have also noted that there is a huge amount of label waste in this product, which is one of the major reasons it It is pretty easy to figure out how to use the label maker. The manufacturer has designed this poorly. I have not even opened the manual yet, but I've figured out some ways to reduce label waste. But what I've done involves a lot of planning on my part, and I suggest this is a design flaw. Please remember that you'll be spending a lot of time calculating how to reduce label waste or buying a lot of tape, and things will be fine. Other people have spoken of the amount of tape wasted, and I would like to join them in encouraging payment close attention to it. My opinion is that the labels it produces thus far are of good quality, and it is better than opening up a Word document, creating labels in a template and printing them on a sheet. As far as I can tell, it is all about tradeoffs.

I find it to be effective! A small library can use this tool to create labels
5/5

It is simple to use. All of the information in the manual has been explained in detail. Trying to set the margins was a bit of a learning curve, and I usually print a few labels at once so I can use the Chain setting and skip the tape feeding until I'm done printing all the.
