If you want to use the printer from an Android device, it is simple: | |||
# From Google Play store download "Brother iPrint&Label" | |||
# Make sure your Android device is connected to PS1's wifi network | |||
# Start the software. When you first run it, it will want to locate the printer and will scan the local network to find it. | |||
# Set the label size to 2.4" continuous | |||
Today I was using the Simple Label function to print labels for the Tool Crib. You can adjust font, font size, etc. and enter the text you need on the label. I was printing two line labels using 40pt text. | |||

== Replacement Label Rolls == | |||
