Did the one you purchased at Sam's come with an electrical cord by chance? The one I purchased looks like it only came with batteries. I just want to make sure I did not possibly throw it away by accident from the box? I doubt it, I looked really well that I did not leave anything left inside before I discarded it.

It was coming back to me with your explanations. I'll bet you're a good teacher, because your way of explaining really helped me.

You are so welcome! I usually get mine from Sam's or Amazon. I haven't found a good deal yet, but mine seem to last a long time. If I have to do a string of names or words, like my class names, I just type it all out with a space or two in between and then print. Seems to help save tape. If you look on the Brother website, there are lots of size options you can use.

Your calming voice kept me calm instead of getting upset if I didn’t get it at first. I do have a question. 🙋♀️ Is there a way to keep the machine from turning itself off? It keeps turning off in between the time I need to figure out what my next label is going to be. I’m in the process Of organizing files. So after I print a label, I look down to see what the next sheet to make a file label. Then, By that time the machine cuts itself off. I guess I just didn’t think I was taking that long to come back to the machine. Any suggestions?
