Where's the 9mm tape in the program, what about 18mm?ġ2mm and 9mm tapes are practically the same thing. There are more tape sizes than what your program lists. You can have the whole office or home print with one printer my way. Our communication is one-way and we can't query the device for the inserted tape like the Windows program does. I need the tape size to be detected automatically! The competing products print on top of the tape and as such the printing will Outside the tape cartridge, this isn't going to change. I've heard many conspiracy theories about Brother wanting to sell more tape, but short of having the lamination to happen This again causes about 2cm of empty tape at the beginning ofĮach print. The two layers of tape are put together, which happens at the last roller. The downside of this is that the printing has to be done before Won't wear unless the transparent plastic top player wears off first. This way the printed text is laminated between the tapes and Plastic tape, which then gets rolled onto a second tape at the end. How the beginning of the tape and the printing head are 2cm away from each other? The device works by printing onto a transparent This happens because of a hardware "feature" of the printer. Your program wastes tape! I get over 2cm of empty tape with each print! There's either a black pixel there or nothing. These are truly black and white devices and as such have no greyscales on them. The font edges aren't smooth in the printout! Technically you can use the 24mm model to print the wholeĪrea of the 12mm tape, but as per Brother's documentation I advice against printing outside the tape, it may damage the print head. Size of the print head of 12mm and 24mm models compared to the tape. The print heads aren't really as wide as the tape.
Happy labeling! :) FAQ I can't use the whole height of the tape! Other distributions typically assimilate the sources into their packaging systems when the maintainers find the time.

The CUPS driver had limitations when it comes to printing on the PT series and GIMP was cumbersome and slow compared to Brother's Windows software. With this device, using it wasn't very practical and trying to make the stickers with While he CUPS driver for the larger QL-series does work I bought my first Brother label printer in 2010 on a vague promise that it was supported on Software is in no way sponsored by or supported by Brother.
Multiple times made tweaks to their protocol and so broken compatibility with newer models. It may work on models not listed here, but I give you no guarantees as Brother has Roll fed media and it won't work with models that print on separate pre-sized stickers. It only works on devices that have continuous USB label printers, PT-1230PC and PT-2430PC.
