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.

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.

*Standard address label, 4 line, text only

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.
