Comments about Brother TD-4000 Desktop Bar Code Printer:
We use this product in a warehouse environment with a custom program and the P-Touch software. It was easy to setup, install and use - very little technical knowledge required for "general" use. B&H pricing is very competitive on this product, as well. We will be getting another one for redundancy in the near future.
