Brother labels are available in a wide
choice of widths and sizes, either as a
continuous length roll that can be cut
to your required length (from 25mm to
3 metres), or the more standard die-cut
labels. Our paper labels have a special
coating applied to help prevent against
accidental marks or scratches. Our
durable plastic film labels have a
strong resistance to tearing, and the
fine gloss finish on them, makes them
ideal for temporary signage.
All our rolls are mounted on a special
roll guide. This ensures that the labels
are installed correctly and also tells the
machine and software which size of
label is currently installed. They cannot
be inserted upside down, and the
guide ensures that each label is print-
ed straight, whatever size of label you
produce.
It couldn't be easier.

Software for all types of users
Solutions for advanced users
B-PAC SDK
Add label printing to your existing Windows software with the optional b-PAC SDK (Software
Development Kit). Designed for programmers and software developers, b-PAC is a powerful tool that
places text and barcodes onto your label design and sends this to the Windows printer driver. This is
available as a download from http://solutions.brother.com.
DIRECT CONNECTION TO OTHER DEVICES
QL-1050 can print independently, without the need of a PC.
Design a label and upload it to the memory of the QL-1050, then connect a compatible device directly
to the serial port without the need for a computer (such as a barcode scanner or test equipment).
Whenever the machine receives the text or barcode number it will add the data onto the required
design and print your label. If needed, add special commands to change the printing options.
