Get Started
Brady customers gave the M511 a workout on the job site — here’s what they’re saying…
"Connecting up to 5 devices at a time is really helpful…The rubber edges are great for workspaces with concrete floors. This device feels solid and is still portable, which is huge. Everything we’ve gotten so far from Brady is really rugged."
Brandon, Dedicated Systems
"Connecting the M511 to your laptop to make labels with Brady Workstation is a huge benefit. I’ve used it both ways – with the app and through Brady Workstation…A big benefit of the M511 is the wider, full-size label tape. That’s huge."
Todd, Total Electronics Contracting
“I didn’t have to fiddle with the printer at all. It’s very easy to use."
Havard, Independent Brady User
