What do you all find a good alternative to ordinary label makers like you label cables and servers with? I often do installs, and we are expected to label equipment. Does anyone have experience with a accessible alternative? I see that some of the brother label makers have USB interfaces, maybe that would work, but I haven't tried it. Any thoughts, observations, or suggestions would be appreciated. -- Kelly Prescott
I use an old fashioned manual label maker that uses a plastic tape. You have to turn the dial and spell out what you want and squeeze the handle for each letter. This seems to satisfy "the powers that be".

We use Avery labels to label laptops, desktops, servers and other equipment. Cables are labeled in the standard ordinary matter. I use my phone to read the label and magnifier to read patch panel and switch ports. I have had my coworker to make labels and do the labeling when we ran cables. I have thought to label everything with brail labels, but way too much work. BTW, the original email from Kelly never ended up in my inbox. I can see emails from Greg and so on. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins <blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org> On Behalf Of Greg B.

Hi Kelly, We have a Brother labeller which is connected to the pc via usb. it has the p-touch software. the old version is pretty accessible. at least the edit box. the other stuff has to be set by the sighted when they want changes. Am 10.05.2018 um 11:05 schrieb Kelly Prescott:
