-The software to generate and print labels is called P-touch Editor, and can be downloaded from the Brother website. There are other utilities for more advanced usage (mail-merges and database input), but we likely won't be needing these.

 There is also the iPrint&Label app, which can generate and print to networked label printers (of which we have 1).

 There are two types of labels, film and paper. Paper labels are cheap and common (i.e. lots of 3rd party makers). They are suitable for use on paper i.e. Manila envelopes. However, for things like asset stickers, the more expensive and more durable film label is a better choice.

 We do not have many, but these (lbx files) should be centrally stored on Superserver (check the Tech folder). It is possible to transfer templates to the printer directly but this has proven to be cumbersome (for example, templates made with P-touch editor for PC and transferred to a printer were not visible in the iPrint&Label app).
