Software for all types of users

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

- Self-cleaning printhead

- Support for over 20 different sized die cut
and continuous length label rolls

- Label design software supplied as standard

- Easy to install rolls

- Choice of connection by USB, RS-232
serial or by the optional PS-9000 network
print server

- Choose from a variety of built-in fonts and
barcodes

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, perfect 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.

Solutions for advanced users

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 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.

Perfect for a wide range of uses:

Barcode printing
Shipping and Postage
Temporary or Indoor Signage
Visitor & Event badges
“Best Before / Use By” labels
Office files, folders and organisation

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.

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.
