QL-1050

QL-1050

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 print­ed straight, whatever size of label you
produce. It couldn't be easier.

PC Label Printer

The QL-1050 is the newest addition to the
Brother range of Professional Label Printers
and boasts many excellent features, includ­ing a wide, high-resolution print head, dual
interfaces and a durable built-in cutter.

Brother supplies its label printing software in the box, at no additional cost. With the QL-1050, three
programs are included. Choose the best program for your particular labelling application from the fol­lowing software:

• A simple "Highlight, click and print" Add-In for popular Microsoft Office applications

• “Address Book” for shipping and postage labels

• P-touch Editor advanced label design software

P-touch Editor is a desktop publishing program specifically developed for the QL-1050.
Some of the main features of this powerful program include:

BARCODES - 17 industry standard barcode protocols, including 2D barcodes.

DATABASE CONNECTION - Connect to Microsoft Excel, Access or CSV file to print larger quantities of labels

automatically – ideal for warehouses, logistics and stock control.

CLIP ART/SYMBOLS - Hundreds of clip-art images are included, per fect when using the continuous length
rolls for signage purposes.

GRAPHIC IMAGE IMPORT - Support for most of the popular graphic image formats, which include jpg, bmp,
tif and png files, enabling you to include your company logo or specialist symbols on your labels.

AUTOMATIC DATE/TIME PRINTING - Add one or more time and date to your label to show when the label
was printed, or you can even let the software calculate and print a future date or time automatically, every
time you print. Ideal for laboratory labels to show best before or use by expiry information.

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.
