Brother P-touch PT-D220 Home/Office Everyday Label Maker

I just purchased this labeler and only used it once. Really not familar with all that it does, but I an certainly looking forward to it. I certainly like that using only batteries will turn it on, but it also uses a power cord to turn it on. I didnot purchase the power cord because I believe I already have one that will fit it-- hope so -- anyway (smile). Otherwise -- will only use the batteries. Anxious to see and LEARN the different fonts, symbols, etc., etc., that in it.

Operates very easily. Does require lots of AAA batteries. The adhesive label comes out with an easy to peel backing, eliminating a potential point of frustration. The different print size and fonts that can be selected are kind of fun. And, I bought on-line at Walmart.com, it arrived the next day. Pretty amazing, as I don't live in a large city.

the gold standard of labelers

Works fine

Why would you sell me a product with no ac cord to plug the product in? It says SUGGESTED 6 AAA batteries but it should say requires 6AAAbatteries not included, and AC ADAPTER NOT INCLUDED. if I would of known there was no ac adapter I would of got batteries.

Would have loved to use this label maker upon arrival, but I figured it would come with its plug so no need to get the batteries as they are "suggested" not "required. Please either send us the adapter (what product doesn't come with one🤷) or say "batteries required". At least give a us hint that it won't be usable upon arrival or tell us "You will either need AAA batteries or to purchase an AC Adapter to be able to use this unit upon arrival." I see I am not the only one with this issue.

This Brother label maker is a pretty good unit overall with a few negatives. I purchased an AC adapter because the labeler uses 6 AAA batteries which don't last long when you are printing several labels. The batteries are fine if you only use the unit occasionally. Brother really should have incorporated a lithium rechargeable battery for this unit. The other negative on this labeler is the poor LCD display. I have the LCD setting turned up as dark as possible but the LCD display is still very weak. At my work they had the same Brother labeler and it too had a very dim/weak display. I am not sure why the display can't be darker and more legible. The positives are that this labeler makes very nice, professional looking labels. The labels stick to almost every clean surface and look great. The PT-D220 labeler is easy to use and the buttons are intuitive after using it for a while. I have used the shrinkable tubing cartridges as well and it works great making labels for wire harnesses. Overall I am pleased with the unit other than the poor display, hence the 4 star review.

very versatile, choice of fonts and print height.

great product I love it!

The formatting is much easier than the old one I had and has a lot of fonts to choose from. Great tool to have for labeling various items! Love it!
