Overall this was a good value considering all the functions it has but unfortunately I’ve only gotten a chance to print basic labels because the instructions are really lacking. I didn’t realize to print two lines you need to buy a different tape which would make your label huge. It’ll be better if the font got smaller for two lines to fit the regular sized tape. As with other reviewers, I would love to be able to move the margins as to not waste so much tape. I was able to move the margin on one side after some tinkering and am able to save a bit of tape that way. The other comment would be to include the AC adapter or make the batteries rechargeable.

I purchased label maker (refurbished) last week When I received it it did not work It was sold as GOOD AS NEW I wrote to Brother Canada about the problem and no response Tried again No response I guess this company does not respect warranties or there customers Since I could not get it to work over weekend I chucked it No good The other problem I had with Brother Canada Was they would not respond in English The only email I got The last time I checked Canada was a 2 language country Not with Brother Canada Maybe we should change name just to Brother. Anyway You should be aware of this company if you want a good shopping experience Lets see if they post this I have a screen shot of the review I bet they don,t

This little printer is AWESOME! I have been wanting a label maker for ages and I'm so happy to have been gifted this one. It has so many cute symbols, borders, and fonts that no matter what the project is, it will always look great! The only thing that I'm not super impressed with is that it seems to waste a good amount of tape with every print... the margin is too wide and wastes a bunch of tape. Even if you set a narrow margin (to waste less tape) there is still about 0.5" of tape that prints and just has to be cut off. I hate wasting material, especially since the tapes aren't necessarily cheap for this printer. Other than the inevitable waste, I LOVE this printer and will never stop using it :)

50% of the time the keyboard does not print the character selected. Brother were zero help.

Got a great price on the little machine or so I thought , but it doesn't come with anything right out of the box. You can't even turn it on until you buy an expensive power supply or purchase 6 batteries. Once you get that, you find you only receive a little sample of the label tape...got to buy more of that. So, once you get past all that the price isn't so great. Then, the instructions are pretty cumbersome and not exactly clear because they seem quite complicated. All that said, it makes great labels when you figure it all out.

I am replacing a previously owned Brother Label maker becasue it was too diffeult to use. This unit has some the same issues. You think in this day and time a manufacture of a product like this would have an online demonration of basic useages/features. I like the final product produced but getting to it is not an easy task. This is not product that is use by my family daliy so when it get used it normally rite now type situation and having to spend time rereading a manual to perform basic task is a paine.

Bought this PT-D210 3 years ago. Did not have much use for it until I started to organize my SD cards. Wanted to number them with large number but all I get are numbers to small to read. Tried to change the font size but the insruction in the manual DO NOT WORK. Tried YouTube. The instructions there are by a young lady that goes way too fast, assumes too much and doesn’t know about a remote mic. Geez. All I want to do is make a font bigger. I’m about ready to call my 7 year old grandson to help me.

I have a quite old Brother P-Touch label maker. It has been great and still is. Used for years and still do. Thought I'd "upgrade" to this model so I could use laminated tapes, and have more features. Now I'm a tech savvy guy, but I am very disappointed. So loaded with features but very complicated to get settings correct. Only three text sizes. Brightness of display is weak (even on bright mode). Lots and lots of blank wasted tape. Still haven't figured out how to clear previous label with one click, like I always have on the old one. Instead I have to backspace one letter at a time. When I do say "clear" it clears all the settings I labored to get right. When I say print it always asks "How Many"? I am very frustrated by this label maker. Only use it when I MUST have laminate tape.

I purchased this model because my older model from the late 1990's would no longer advance the tape. It still printed, but would overtype everything. So, I figured it had its day. Of course right after I received the new one, the old one started working again! I have the case for it, too. The new one does not fit the old case. I love to organize and am usually looking to organize files or identify containers of stored items. The label maker is one of my favorite household tools.

This machine makes nice labels if you can figure out how to work it. The display is very dim. The labels come out with almost an inch of space before the printing(wasteful!) Changing fonts/size is tedious, having to go into menus. Overall, not very intuitive. I have to keep a copy of the manual on my computer screen(the included one is to small to read) to make this thing do anything beyond basic preset label sizes. May be the more expensive ones work better.
