It comes with 1x 12mm tape has a total length of 4m at already. Another power supply, and a nice big plastic bag.
The unit can be run both on AC power and battery power. According to the manual you should then do the latest batteries into the device, if you do it from the mains to avoid losing data loss such as stored words / templates. Unfortunately, the need 6xAA (Mignon) batteries not included, therefore most interesting products a pack batteries. Another is the battery simply more convenient because the fine on the unit's mans that can take quick, in the basement, attic, etc. and prints labels directly and normal white, the batteries yes forever.
As far as the machine will print very well, you have to cut off "manually" in the top left corner you press the shift key down.
The only complaint is that the equipment wasted empty every time you print just 2cm before it prints. The unit does have the setting item "edge", but this only affects the edge of the word. Say if the margin setting to "narrow" is then the result looks something like so: | ---- 2cm --- TEXT |
Simply put the edge in front of the text, you can not remove, which it prints always with him more than .. you can then cut by scissors which I do not even feel so professional. I have the margin setting at "full" because he left so evenly before and after the text has 2cm edge: | --- --- TEXT --- 2cm 2cm --- | Looks simply the best of it when you for example adhered to the shelf or on a cardboard. More needs to be noted that the device just only a maximum of 2 lines printed on the tape.
While it produces virtually every sticker 4cm "rubbish" but I must say for home use, it is now not tragic.
A new cassette with 8m costs on Amazon just 15th The included 4m cassette I'm now almost half empty and I cleaned up my whole cellar, labeled many boxes and shelves, including a couple of folders. As an 8m cassette should hold a fortiori forever, so for home use are the costs of cassettes little trouble there. More, the device offers a few additional settings such as a frame around the text or the text in a speech bubble and so on, I've tried 1 time but I would personally prefer if just standing there just the text. The band itself and the text have a very high quality, no matter where you hinklebt the tape, it holds very firmly.
Conclusion: For home use, I think the Brother P-touch 1830VP more than enough! Who would like to create some order in his household in which he labeled the most diverse objects with it, makes the device really nothing wrong.
