Brother Makes Labeling Cool & Easy Introducing 2 New Labelers With Plug and Label Functionality for Home and Office
Whether in the Office or on the Road, the New PT-1230PC and PT-2430PC Streamline the Labeling Process with Built-In Software and Direct PC Connection
BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Jan. 6 -- Answering consumer demand for a simpler solution for printing labels from a PC, Brother International Corporation recently introduced the PT-1230PC and PT-2430PC. Both labeling systems come with a new P-touch(R) Lite label design software built right into the machine itself, which eliminates the hassle of installing software, and allows PC users to more easily print on the go. Whether in the home, office or at a job site, customers now have an innovative tool for labeling.
These P-touch(R) labeling devices are extremely easy to use. The Plug and Label functionality makes label making quicker and easier than ever before. Here's how they work:
1. Connect to the PC via the included USB cable.
2. Turn the labeler ON and launch the software stored on the device.
3. Type and print your label.
4. When done, simply turn off and unplug. No software is left behind on your PC.
In today's business world, handwritten labels can lack professionalism while small handheld labelers sometimes fall short on versatility. Many PC-connectable labelers, while versatile, require time-consuming installation of software and a substantial learning curve. The new PT-1230PC and PT-2430PC models offer a streamlined solution, where users can quickly and easily print simple text-only labels, to more complex labels with logos and custom formatting by using their existing PC with familiar keyboard and monitor.
"Initial response to these new models has been overwhelmingly positive," said Linda Sanford, Director of P-touch Marketing for Brother. "Office users love their simplicity, and information management and IT staff appreciate that they require no software installations. And since the PT-1230PC and PT-2430PC easily connect to PCs using a USB connection, users attending meetings, conferences, tradeshows and field service locations can create custom labels on-the-road and on-demand."
Easy and secure to use and share, the PT-1230PC and PT-2430PC require no software to be installed on the PC. These models help address company software installation policies; when finished making the labels, users simply turn the labeler off and unplug, leaving no software behind on the PC.
The modern and sleek gloss-white labeling systems are lightweight, portable and boast a small footprint for high-tech appearance. They weigh approx. 1 lb. and can easily fit on any desk or workspace. Labels print exactly as they are designed and displayed on the PC monitor, and can include symbols, photos, graphics, and any TrueType fonts stored on the user's PC.
PT-1230PC includes the following features:
-- No software installation required on PC
