The software to use to print to the label maker is called "P-Touch Editor" and is installed on the computer that runs the 3D printers.
 
== Drivers and Software ==
*In order to print to the machine over the network you will need to download the matching driver and P-Touch Editor.
 
*All platforms: http://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=lpql720nweus

== Android ==
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.
 
I did notice that it trims VERY close to the first and last character, so I just added a leading and trailing space.
 
== Replacement Label Rolls ==

I have ordered the DK4205 and the DK2205. We'll see which we like better. I think the difference between them is that 4205 is supposed to stick less (removable, etc.).
