Wow. This is a great labeler. It is so handy (literally). It is easy to walk around with if you have frequent things to label. I can even enter information on it one-handed!

I was hesitant when buying it because the review said it wasn't intuitive...but the description of the item said it was easy to use. Well, it ends up being the latter. It is very easy to use. Even changing styles and formats worked just like other labelers.

The prior comment was correct in that it wastes a small piece of label with each print. This is because it needs to feed a little out for it's "pinchers" to grab before printing. But then it trims it for you so that you don't end up with excess "blank" label at one end. It's similar to a printer at home in that the printer can't print to the top margin and bottom margin of the paper. So no matter what you print on a printer, there is blank area at the top and bottom of the page. In this case though, it does automatically trim it for you prior to dispensing the print.

I love it.

This review is from: Brother PT-1400 P-Touch Handheld Labeler (Office Product)

I use this to label wires and components in control panels and it is a very robust and well designed device. It's typical of me to print out 400+ labels per project with no problems.

If your having trouble using this device I fear you might also have trouble using a phone or counting.

I've used this labeler for over 2 years. It's GREAT!. I bought a second one for a seprate location so I always have one handy. If you read the manual you can find how not to waste tape when printing multiple labels. You can print any kind of label for wiring, panels, or just about anything else. Go to Brothermall.com and get the flexable ID tapes for cables. If you shop around you can see how expensive labeling is so the price for the tapes is as reasonable as any other. You may want to get something cheaper for personal use but this is the best for professional quality installation. I got a Platt 507 case and customized it for carrying the labeler, 9 tape cartridges, and spare batteries. It gets great milage from the batteries too. Add some flat point tweezers to help in applying the labels so they're always straight. I recommend this labeler to all the technicians I work with and have complete faith in it. On occasions the cutter can use some cleaning with a cotton swab and alcohol to avoid a cutter error. You should press the cutter in a delibrate but not over firm motion when cutting the tape and you'll have no problems. I can't say enough positives about using this labeler.
