The Brother PT-1200 is a useful handheld label printer, but when compared to other, more modern label printers, it may not seem as user-friendly. This label printer is suitable for simple tasks but lacks the features of other printers, mainly because it is a manual machine.
This Brother label maker is battery operated, but there is the option of an AC adapter, so it can be mains powered. It features a manual cutter for cutting labels to size. The printer has a zigzag QWERTY keyboard, and there is an LCD display that shows one line and four characters at a time. The printer uses the thermal transfer process to create the printing on the tape. The dimensions of the printer are 1.9 inches x 3.9 inches x 6.4 inches, and it weighs just 0.9lbs.
Options for the Brother PTouch-1200 include a handy carrying case. The maximum print speed is 10mm per second, which is reasonable, and it uses widely available TZ cassette tapes for printing. The tape length is 26.2 feet, and the tapes are laminated. This unit can print on tapes between 6mm and 12mm wide. The font on the printer is Helsinki, and there is a range of font sizes from 11 to 22 extended. There is also a range of styles, including italic, bold and shadow. There is a 300-character memory, and mirror printing is an option. Those who want to print more than one label can use the multi-print copy function, which prints up to nine copies if needed.
The maximum print resolution with the Brother P-touch 1200 is 180 dpi, which is far less than similar models, and there is no option to change the font. This is not the type of label printer that you can connect to a computer or smartphone, and it is only suitable for manual operation.
