Q. Could you please guide me how to create variety of labels with P-touch Editor for Macintosh? I use Brother P-touch QL500BS. Thanks.

A. Sure! Please open P-touch Editor and look for P-touch Editor Help from the ‘Help’ menu. When you open the help section you will get all detailed instructions from basic to the most advanced ways of using P-touch Editor to customise labels.
You will get information such as how to create nametags, address labels, labels for CD case, banners and more in the list.

Q. When I use Brother P-touch QL500BS label tapes to create labels the cutter blade does not cut the labels properly. What should I do?

A. If the cutter blade finds difficulty in cutting the labels, you can replace the cutter unit.
Please follow the steps to replace the cutter unit:

  • Turn off the printer and remove the power cord.
  • When you expose the label roll compartment, pull up the label lever and take out the Brother P-touch QL500BS label tape/roll.
  • If your printer has a cutter cover installed, open it.
  • Now, loosen the screw (as it cannot be removed completely) of the cutter unit with the help of a cross-head screwdriver and take out the cutter unit.
  • Before you remove the cutter be careful with its sharp edge.
  • Now, take the new cutter unit and place it by aligning the two posts with the two holes inside and pressing it.
  • Using the screwdriver, tighten the screws of the cutter unit carefully.
  • Close the cutter cover (if present).
  • Put back the Brother P-touch QL500BS label tape/roll in the place and close the compartment cover.

Q. I want a high quality and fast printing labelmaker for my shipping business. Will Brother P-touch QL500BS suit my needs?

Q. Can I apply Microsoft Word and Excel add-in to Macintosh system?

A. Unfortunately, the Brother P-touch QL500BS printer is featured with MS Word and Excel add-ins that work only with Windows versions and not with any of the Macintosh versions.
