Label Printer For Small Stickers For Small Cables
2N3055:
At least on my printer you can choose cutting program.
If you are printing many (different) labels, but all in one go, you can set printer to CUT but not EJECT immediately. You edit and print them all, on by one, and on the last one you issue command eject and cut.
That way you get one long snake with all labels on it, and then you peel them off in order and stick them where they go.
By doing that you only get one wasted 2cm of tape on beginning.

The software is very versatile and it has many wizard labels for different applications. The only downside for me is that I can't print a label/sticker with length smaller than 25mm with auto cutting (I don't know if this can do it another model of Brother... if anyone knows please write it).
Thanks all of you for you opinions... I am very pleased with this purchase.

The models that are capable of “half cut” (the “dual blade” cutter that can cut the tape without cutting the paper backing tape), like the PT-P900 series and PT-E500 series, can cut the label shorter, but for individual labels, the remainder is wasted. Using the chain print feature, only the initial leader is wasted.
The PT-P900 series says 4mm minimum length, the PT-E500 series 10mm.
Oh yeah, Brother recently released the FLe series of cable flags. But they only work with certain printers that accept 36mm tapes: the PT-P900 series and the PT-E800W.

That’s the “chain print” function I mentioned earlier.
On printers with the advanced automatic cutter that can do half-cut, you get the labels cut individually on a single backing paper.
On printers with the standard automatic cutter that can only cut all the way through, chain print spits out individual labels, but you have to then manually eject the last one.

As an FYI, I found in one Brother manual that the ~2cm is actually 22.3mm.

One feature that I found very useful for me is the printing labels from excel.
