How do you print labels without a computer?

 If you don't have access to a computer, you can still print labels using a label maker. There are two types of label makers available: electronic and manual.

 

1. Electronic label maker: A manual label maker operates like a typewriter, allowing you to physically type the text onto the label. The label is then ready to be applied to your desired surface.An electronic label maker typically connects to a power source and has a small keyboard for inputting text. You can then print the label directly from the label maker.

Label maker machines are small, portable devices that are designed for printing labels without the need for a computer. They typically have a small LCD screen, a keyboard for inputting text, and a variety of font styles, sizes, and symbols that you can use to customize your labels.

 

Some popular features of label makers include:

 

QWERTY-style keyboard for easy text input

Built-in memory for storing frequently used labels

Ability to print labels in a variety of widths and lengths

Various font styles, sizes, and symbols to choose from

Ability to print barcode and serial numbers

 

2. Manual label maker:

 

A manual label maker is a small, handheld device that allows you to create and print custom labels. The device is portable and does not require a power source or a connection to a computer, making it ideal for on-the-go labeling. Some popular brands that offer manual label makers include SUPVAN thermal printer E10, Brother P-touch, and Casio KL-60. You can use a mobile app and a compatible wireless printer. Here are the general steps to follow:

① Download a label printing app from the app store. Examples of such apps include Brother iPrint&Label, SUPRINT, and Epson iLabel.

② Connect your mobile device to the same Wi-Fi network as your wireless printer.

③ Open the label printing app and select the type of label you want to print. You can customize the label by adding text, images, barcodes, and other elements.

④ Choose your printer from the app's list of available printers.

⑤ Preview the label and make any necessary adjustments.

⑥ Send the label to the printer and wait for it to print.

 

Note that the exact steps and features may vary depending on the app and printer you are using. Be sure to check the manufacturer's instructions for specific details on how to print labels with your mobile device.

 

Both electronic and manual label makers are readily available at office supply stores and online retailers. These label makers can be a convenient solution for individuals or small businesses that need to create labels without access to a computer.
