![]() ![]() The case incorporates a through-hole to accommodate a loop (also not supplied) so that the printer can be attach to your belt for convenience. The printer may be powered from a mains adaptor (Model AD24ES) or alternatively, to give it portability, six AAA cells. Punctuation marks are not included on the keyboard (apart from period and comma) and must be accessed from the library. Repeatedly pressing this key increments through the groups, whilst the left/right arrow keys increment through the symbols themselves. ![]() These symbols are accessed by pressing the Symbols key which displays the character range divided into 9 groups. These characters have a resolution which is unhelpful when selecting a symbol but the print quality vindicates this. The keyboard layout is alphabetical as opposed to ‘qwerty’ and the LCD displays up to seven characters (plus cursor) of height 5mm across one line. All functions have shortcut keys, and up to nine copies of each label may be printed at a time. Labels may be printed to predefined lengths irrespective of text content, plus there are six Auto-Format lengths for labelling such commonplace objects as file tabs, CD cases and video cases. The left-hand margin is marked with a colon to show where to cut your label and the right-hand margin locates correctly to be cut by the internal cutter (manual). Text can be aligned using Tabs extending to a maximum distance of 100mm, and for centralising text on the label there are three equalised margin settings available from a function called Tape Margin. In the GL100 the required character must be inserted entirely from the library rather than invoking the accent from the character itself, but shortcuts make this process very quick. The GL100 differs from the GL200 in the calling up of accented characters. A good range of accented characters is provided, including umlauts and ligatures etc. For some reason it is in this section that you find text Underline. The choice of effects comprises plain with rounded corners, curly ended banner, rough hewn wood, and vine, none of which can be used with vertical text. To make your labels really interesting you can print them in various styles such as shadow, outline, italic, bold (and combinations thereof) plus mirror image (for transparent tape) with a choice of four decorative borders (called frames). ![]() The GL100 can also print vertically to give upright labels, although this consumes loads of label. Up to two lines of text may be printed, the font size obviously being reduced as necessary. The only fonts available are Helsinki and Oklahoma, these coming in three basic sizes (height) with a further two settings which expand character width. Standard tapes have a length of eight metres. Apart from the regular black print on white label the range includes options such as fluorescent and transparent finish (standard laminated range) and matt finish, extra strong adhesive, and flexi ID in the specialist non-laminated range. Humidity, abrasion, oil and most chemicals are also withstood. These cartridges automatically identify themselves to the printer when inserted and produce labels that are resistant to sun and rain, and can withstand temperatures from -80☌ to +150☌. The GL100 can print on three widths of label: 6mm, 9mm and 12mm from Brother’s TZ range of tape cartridges. The Brother GL100 garden plant labels hand-held printer is designed primarily for horticulturists and gardeners but is also useful as a general purpose home and office labeller. ![]()
