The mains power lead does stick out a little and will discourage you from placing the unit too near a wall which is fortunate as you will need some space at the rear when you lift up the top cover to gain access to the DK Roll label compartment. Both the mains power and USB connections are located at the rear of the unit. Apart from the black translucent top, this label printer’s body is coloured cream and has a reflective sheen. Offering a choice of Wireless or USB connectivity, this thermal label printer packs its functionality into a body with dimensions of 128 x 236 x 153 mm (D x W x H). However there is a down-side as thermal paper is more expensive and the printer manufacturers encourage user to purchase their own branded products.
By using thermal paper there is no need for ink or toner cartridges that will need replacing every so often. Available in a range of sizes and styles, DK Rolls consist of thermal paper that comes ready mounted on its own spool that simple slots into a compartment located in the back half of the printer. In the case of the Brother unit this consumable item is referred to as DK Rolls. Unlike most other traditional printers, a label printer tends to make use of special paper for its output.
An example of the type of printer is the Brother QL-710W unit. This type of printer can sit happily on your work space and produce labels of varying sizes and shapes with specific information relating to the circumstances. One such one-trick pony printer device is that developed purely for producing labels that can be attached to all-manner of objects and even people. While most printers are generally regarded as multi-purpose devices carrying out a range of printing tasks as they churn out documents of different types with the occasional photo tossed in for good measure, there are one or two types of printers designed for a specific purpose.
