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.

If you want to use the printer from an Android device, it is simple:

  1. From Google Play store download "Brother iPrint&Label"
  2. Make sure your Android device is connected to PS1's wifi network
  3. Start the software.  When you first run it, it will want to locate the printer and will scan the local network to find it.

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.
