Our verdict

A fast, low-maintenance label printer for a home office or small business that mails a lot. USB is the only link, so it serves one computer at a time.

Overview

Not a handheld tape labeler, this Brother is a USB desktop printer that turns out paper labels for envelopes, packages, folders and postage. Drop-in rolls replace ink and toner, and an auto cutter trims each label.

Plug and Label means most labels print without installing software, which makes setup quick on any office computer. Connectivity is limited to USB, with no wireless sharing listed.

Who it's for

Small online sellers, church offices and home businesses that send a lot of mail get fast labels straight from Word or Excel. Teams that need one printer shared over Wi-Fi will find the USB link limiting.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Very fast label output
  • No ink or toner to replace
  • Prints postage from the desk
  • Plug and Label setup
Cons
  • USB is the only connection
  • Monochrome print only
  • Label roll not listed as included

Performance notes

Thermal printing marks the label stock with heat, so speed depends on label length and nothing needs to dry. The cutter trims each label right after printing, which avoids wasted sheets when only one label is needed.
