Question 1

Does this work for printing large quantities of bar codes?

Accepted Answer

Large is relative. It will print to the limit of the Label Roll (usually 100, I think). Anyway, the Software will do a "Mail Merge" like Print from a Spreadsheet. I think it will also convert Barcode numbers to actual Barcode if you set it to. It has a Manual Cutter, so adjust your process for that. The Manual should be available from the Brother website for further information.

Question 2

Does think product include labels?

Accepted Answer

You need to ask whichever supplier from whom you are purchasing ... typically they do not include labels.

Question 3

I was wondering if this was an ink printer or thermal? I am looking for a label printer I can put non-smudge ink in and print QR Codes.

Accepted Answer

I was perplexed on this issue as well, as there is nothing in the manual stating what kind of ink cartridges to buy, etc.  So what I found is that the ink is in the label.  It's either thermal or contact/impact -or maybe even a combination of both.  The labels are proprietarty, but there is an aftermarket maker for compatible labels for this machine.  (found aftermarket labels for about half of Brothers price when I Googled DK-2205) It is a very good deal when it's on sale..
