This was a great video! I need a simple label maker and wanted one with an AC Adapter. Used is fine, but I didn't know which one to buy. I loved your details examples of the options and have decided based on your excellent instruction... to get this one. Thank you!
Thank you. Excellent walkthrough of the Brother P-touch 2040 functions. You just got me up to speed on a new piece of department kit far faster than reading the manual.
I can tell you must be a really good teacher! Slow, articulate,demonstrative and patient! Thank you ever so much! I am terrible about reading instructions due to my ADHD;therefore, you were perfect for teaching me my new tool purchased from Sam’s. I am a bit frugal, any suggestions for buying the tape at the best prices?
Thank you! I haven't found any deals on the tape so far, I just try really hard to print as closely as possible 😂Mine seems to last a pretty good while, than goodness!
This was exceptionally delivered. I felt like I was in school again. Well done and thank you so much. I’m not afraid anymore of working with my label printer. Yay!!!
thank you so much for teaching me how to use my new P touch label printer. You explains everything so easy. I look forward to learning everything about this machine.
Thank you so much for this video! I used this label maker last year to label items in my classroom but now I have learned so many new features. I'm excited to add books 📚 to label my library!
You are so welcome! I also use it for incentives. The students can 'earn' a label for various things. I let them type in their own (prior approval required lol) and they love it!
Thank you,thank you,thank you! I have had this thing laying around my office for a year,i was afraid to use it! With help of your video i finlay master this device. Now i will label all of my files.
WHAT A GREAT VIDEO. Very informative. I have been looking for a RU-vid video for this specific labeler and this was the only one I could find. SO MUCH Info. THANK YOU, Be Help!!!
just got my label maker today other than my tinkering with it, your video was helping with the missing areas. thank you ( i just wish there was not much waste at the start of the print even doing the narrow) i can live with it lol
Thank goodness for you and your video! I have a P-touch 1880c. I couldn't find help for the step I was stuck on. I have the instructions, I have used it before. It's been years though. It was coming back to me with your explanations. I'll bet you're a good teacher, because your way of explaining really helped me. I am very right brained, and the printed instructions just weren't helping. I was worried that I was going to have to ask my right brained daughter for help. Again. 🙂 Getting really frustrated. So thanks again!
Your video was VERY HELPFUL to me! I am definitely a visual learner. So, Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Your calming voice kept me calm instead of getting upset if I didn’t get it at first. I do have a question. 🙋♀️ Is there a way to keep the machine from turning itself off? It keeps turning off in between the time I need to figure out what my next label is going to be. I’m in the process Of organizing files. So after I print a label, I look down to see what the next sheet to make a file label. Then, By that time the machine cuts itself off. I guess I just didn’t think I was taking that long to come back to the machine. Any suggestions?
Awesome! I'm so glad it was helpful! I really don't know the solution to the turning off problem, though :( I guess just keep pressing a button every so often?
You are so welcome! I usually get mine from Sam's or Amazon. I haven't found a good deal yet, but mine seem to last a long time. If I have to do a string of names or words, like my class names, I just type it all out with a space or two in between and then print. Seems to help save tape. If you look on the Brother website, there are lots of size options you can use.
Well at least the margin function helps the tab at the end but still waste an inch on the beginning of the print. I returned one 5 years ago because of that….So wasteful and tape is not exactly cheap 😫 Ended up buying Brother label maker at Staples that was more expensive but gives you more options including tape sizes & tab length 😊
I'm printing multiple labels with different names but cannot get the distance between them to not waste tape. I have settings on narrow and chain print but the gap between is wasteful. Any suggestions
I just enter a running stream of names with a couple of spaces in between then hit print. There’s a character limit, but it will tell you when it’s full.
Drop right in there and click? I have messed up three cartridges trying to print a label. The tape gets all tangled up, and if a piece of label comes out it is black with white letters (supposed to be white with black letters.) I'm so frustrated! Going to have to return it. ☹️
Well. There's probably a better way, but what I do is... You get 80 characters per label. If I want to print labels for my class, I just type in names with 2-3 spaces in between each name until I run out of characters. Print that one and go again.
This device, and other models have a glitch with chain print. “Chain print” feature should allow you to print different texts without wasting a tape. Were you able to find out the fix for this?
I know right??? I returned one 5 years ago because of that….So wasteful 😫 One Brother label maker I bought at Staples was more expensive but gives you more options including tape size
Hi do you know why this model gives me a black label with white prints instead of a white label with black prints. The cassette used to give me white laminated labels
at the risk of feeling dumb/antiquated… mine keeps shutting off. If I’m lucky I can type 2 letters & it goes off. I’ve checked the battery placement…AOK…HELP😢
Ugh, that’s just not right 😕must be a loose connection inside somewhere. I would exchange if possible. If not, I would email Brother. They usually have excellent customer service. I’m so sorry you’re having problems!
It depends. If I’m doing a lot of different words, like names, I just type in the string, separated by a few spaces, until it tells me I’m out of characters. Then print
I’m just going home and I’m not just sitting there and Watching the kids play and I don’t know what to do I don’t want them playing and I’m just like 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂ssdewg and the be you a
