## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you use to print FedEx shipping labels?**
A: It does not work with Fedex.  But Brother Does make printers that work for that purpose, called the QL-1050, 1060N.  Also Fedex Ship manager software works with the Eltron / Zebra printers.

**Q: can it be used to print prescription labels? if yes can you send me a link for the compatible labels that will work with it**
A: Well Yes, BUT...  The printer would print the labels (direct thermal), if you can find someone who makes the labels for this printer.  But as far as I can see everyone seems to use Cognitive label printers. So No.  The Brother TD-2000 is used for printing prescription labels (google for prescription labels brother).

**Q: what is max size of receipt printed by this printer.**
A: The width of the print head is 2.75 inches. The printer uses thermal paper to print image. I  only use it to print labels. Labels and thermal paper come in all sizes. When you change size labels printer recognizes  the change in label size on your screen.

**Q: After exchanging label cartridges, does the first label get wasted?**
A: We use continuous labels.  It does not waste anything.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good label maker
*by M***N on June 26, 2025*

Worked great, sometimes a PITA though.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Blazingly fast and shareable!
*by A***. on October 22, 2016*

I bought it for home use after owning two previous cheaper label printers. I love it. It's easily the best of the label printers I've used. Worth the price. I share it with several Windows computers on my network. It works as either a network printer or single computer. I haven't tried to get it to work on Linux nor the iMac. I have not looked to see if drivers are available. As I tend to use one Win7 computer the most.Label size/types change easily and quickly, it prints blazingly fast. The printing is so fast I don't bother with "3 across" labels any more.I'd suggest buying a variety of label sizes/types up front. You'll use them!I also suggest something to catch the labels as they print and eject faster than a man in his 60's can turn around!I've used it for things that I previously didn't use other cheaper label printers for. Like labeling tool drawers, labeling filing cabinet folders, etc.It is great for one offs, or your Christmas list.Negatives, I have been having some trouble getting it to wake up after not using it for awhile.I think the editor is quirky and took a few days to master. I usually open up existing labels and edit them as being faster than starting from scratch with the editor.The only bulk labels I do are Christmas Card labels. I don't like their database and wished they had used something more open source like the address book in email programs, so that the info can be shared. However once set up, the list can be easily edited and I haven't printed any label on my Laser printer since I got this.

### ⭐ Run away while you can
*by A***R on May 24, 2016*

This printer is the worst piece of technology I've purchased in at least the last ten years. I've spent countless hours trying to print a simple USPS label with no luck. It started off with the printer coming with required software on a CD. Wake up Brother, Macs haven't come with CD drives in years! So I had to contact their support to get download links. While I waited, I downloaded their torturous iPhone app and proceeded to waste 30 minutes of my life figuring out how to print a simple mailing label. Once I received download links from Brother, I installed their P-Touch software. P-Touch must be code for, "the worst software than can humanly be created." I won't go into the detail, but after about an hour, I managed to print a label that was supremely distorted. Each time I tried to print the label again after editing it, I noticed the printer's red error light went on. Apparantly, the printer experiences an error after each label you print, so you then have to go back to your printer and press the power button again. Not very useful for a "wireless" printer if I have to walk up to it and push a button each time I want to print something. Afterwards I figured, I'll try the pbSmartPostage site they recommend. That was a move I regretted. Brother managed to partner with a website that is actually worse than their own products! For one thing, pbSmartPrint required me to enter my credit card on a webpage that had no SSL encryption! Are they insane? And of course I couldn't proceed because their "free trial" won't activate without your credit card. After another half hour of my life wasted on that attempt, I tried to use the PayPal label printing software. Eventually I realized that this torture device software was created by the same terrorists that made pbSmartPrint. I managed to get charged for a USPS label that won't print under pretty much any circumstances I could attempt. So now I have to contact PayPal and ask for a refund. Over three hours into this, I still can't get any use from it. I've bought a hundred items on Amazon and this is the first time I've written a review because my experience was so far beyond terrible that I felt I needed to voice it.
