Details
Print labels without a computer
The QL-820NWBc works as a traditional label printer - simply design your label on your PC or Mac, and then print. In addition, your commonly used labels can be uploaded to the internal memory locations. Then, simply scroll through the stored labels using the control panel to select and print the label. You can even print the current date and time or let the printer calculate a future one, making it ideal for printing labels for food packaging and "tested on / next test due" applications.
Full range of connectivity
With USB, wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth as standard, you have all your options covered. AirPrint and MFi certification (Made for iPod/iPhone/iPad) ensures maximum compatibility with Apple products too.
Print from PC, Mac, iOS and Android devices
The free P-touch Editor label design software for PC and Mac lets you add text, images, barcodes and frames to your labels. Or use the free iPrint & Label app for iOS and Android to create and wirelessly print labels from your mobile devices.
Print any size labels, in black and red
Rolls are available in a range of traditional die-cut (pre-sized) labels, or continuous that lets the built-in cutter cut your label to the precise length (up to one metre). And now you can draw attention to important information by including red* on your labels too - ideal for highlighting use-by dates, allergens and other critical information.

Integrated LCD for easy operation
Easily select the labels stored in memory that you wish to print, thanks to the large backlit graphic display. Setting up and configuring the machine is made much easier, as is troubleshooting if any errors occur with on-screen guidance on the problem and how to easily resolve it.
Optional Li-ion battery base
There are situations where you may need to print labels away from a power source, such as use on a portable trolley and printing from a tablet in retail, healthcare or similar industries. The optional Li-ion battery base has a fast charge function, and lasts for thousands of labels on a full charge.
Large range of labels for any application
The QL series label printers use Brother DK rolls - that easily slot-in for fast label changes. Several types are available:
- Pre-sized die-cut adhesive labels in paper and plastic film material.
- Continuous adhesive labels in paper and plastic film material that can be cut to the length you need (up to 1 metre).
- Non-adhesive card ideal for receipts and name badges.
- Removeable adhesive for repositionable labels
