 You need the adaptor cordApr 20, 2008
By Terri
I first purchased the Brother PT-1010 thinking that I would try it out with batteries before I committed to buying the adaptor. The thing absolutely, positively would not run with BRAND NEW BATTERIES! Every time I tried to print, I got a low battery message.
Once I purchased the A/C adaptor it worked like a charm. Thus far the labels have been exactly what I was looking for - crisp printing, easy peeling and sturdy.
Besides the batteries, I have two other criticisms. First, the User's Manual is confusing. It's far easier to just start pushing buttons. Second, each label has about 1/2" wasted space on either side of the letters. I've taken to printing several labels at one time using 3 spaces to separate them. I then print as if it were one long label and cut them apart with scissors. There's much less waste that way!

 Great Basic LabelerOct 20, 2008
By B. Duncan
"bkduncan"
I needed a no-frills labeler. This item has been great for me. You can print several different font sizes, basic text formatting (bold, italics, underline, outline, shadow, etc), and even a few border styles (candy, wood, round, etC).
Loading and unloading tape cartridges is every easy. Battery life has been good too.
It does waste quite a bit at the ends of the labels. If you can print more than one at a time, do it. Separate text by three or four spaces then use scissors to cut apart your labels. Do not press the label cut button while printing, or it will stop printing.
This labeler met my expectations! I would give it 5 stars if it did not waste material at the ends of each label.

 Classic case of give away the razor and sell the blades...Feb 09, 2009
By R. V. Hatcher
Ok, the labeler itself prints great labels, but everything about it is geared to sell consumables.
1. It eats batteries, printing maybe 50 labels on SIX AAA batteries.
2. It adds almost an inch to each side of the printing which is a total waste of tape, and so far I have no idea how to shorten it. (Don't you think one of the menu items would be "how much space do you want around your printing?" or something like that.)
3. It defaults to the largest font so that it uses as much tape as possible. Even after setting it to "medium" font it goes back to "large" for the next label. There is no way to save settings.
4. The menus are VERY confusing.
I have a large supply of AC converters from old electronic devices and have tried a number of 9V and so far I haven't been able to get the printer to work with any of them.
So, yes, it works, but, damn, is it expensive.

Label are more expensive than the printerDec 07, 2008
By Felonious Ham
As mentioned in another review, this device does print labels clearly (they even last through the dishwasher). But. It's secondary purpose is to waste tape.
Label tape is very expensive, and each label is printed with 1 inch of blank tape for absolutely no reason other than waste it.
Also, it takes 6 AAA batteries. This just annoys me.
