I wonder if this is a battery drainer like the other Brother label makers I've owned? If you let it sit with batteries inside, after a few weeks the batteries will be depleted. All those batteries are doing is keeping its volitile RAM and clock running--solved problems in other categories of products! It's like they own stock in battery companies. The engineers must realize this and made it as easy as they can for the user to remove one of the 6 batteries and store it inside the maker. 😆 I've used a few different models of brother label makers over the years, designed in different decades and they still drain your batteries by sitting unused, but have space inside the maker itself to store that pulled battery, LOL

Also Brother trying to have you buy more labels is this thing's goal, so it will waste inches of labels on useless margins on each side of each label.

I've not found a single thermal printer using ribbon that doesn't waste labels. Industrial (Brady) are much worse than Brother. Only non-wastable ones I've used are the pre-cut rolls from Zebra, but the machines and consumables are an order of magnitude more expensive.

Weird about the batteries though; I've got a couple kicking around that I leave in the drawer (or truck) for weeks on end that seem ok. A set on a similar office printer does last about 1 cartridge total. Biggest battery issue I have is on my brady M210, if you sneeze at the battery cover (let alone drop it) it flies off and the AAs go everywhere. I usually duct tape it.

if you have a laser printer, get pre cut adhesive labels on 8.5x11 backer. I've found that inkjet labels fade from UV too easy.

Lucky! I just don't understand why the few Brothers I've used do that

That's true, they all waste inches of labels on the margins. I have a Dymo at work that seems to be more reasonable, but it uses a 3/4" label and defaults to 50pt font! If you're not paying attention, you end up printing a banner! 😆

And if they're still 100% backwards negative center barrel jack polarity, preventing you from using standard AC wall warts from numerous items you may have such as old routers, modems, etc... without making a cross over adapter or buying their expensive brick.

And yes the leader waste is bad even after resetting it up to be narrow each and every time you use the thing.

Buy the replacement cartridges from overseas. Even with price increases and tariffs you can still get compatible cartridges for less than $1 delivered in virtually any size (6/9/12 mm, sometimes 18mm) and color.

I have a Dymo LetraTag as well as a couple Brothers. The Dymo has a horrible ABCD tiny key pad (not even board or QWERTY like Brother) and the cartridges are 1/2 the length as Brother, the dot matrix is a lower lower quality print, they are not laminated like Brother and a bit slower to print. The font selection is pretty bad and just don't look very good, selecting non-alpha characters is a chore. They are okay for quick things like garage bin labelling and stuff like that. Anything I want to look good I use the Brother.

Last year AliExpress had boxes of 10 spools of blank labels (black on white paper or plastic) for $1 after coins discounts picked up 4 of those boxes. This year they hit about $4 still a good deal but would rather spend a buck each on Brother replacements instead from there,
