Professional direct thermal label printer

The Brother QL800 is a desktop label printer that uses direct thermal technology to produce monochrome labels at up to 93 labels per minute. It connects via USB 2.0 full-speed and includes an automatic cutter for continuous or die-cut tapes up to 2.40 inches wide. The unit ships with P-touch Editor software for Windows and Mac, a starter roll of DK-1201 address labels and a DK-2251 continuous tape for black and red printing.

Small businesses and offices needing fast.

This printer suits users who need high-volume address labels, shipping labels, file-folder tags or name badges without the cost of ink or toner. The dual-colour DK-2251 tape adds visual priority for urgent items. Buyers who require colour graphics, waterproof film labels, wireless connectivity or standalone operation without a host computer should look at other solutions.

93 labels per minute print speed

The maximum throughput of 93 standard labels per minute determines whether the QL800 can keep pace with your mailing or packing workflow. At 300 x 600 dpi resolution, text and barcodes remain sharp at this rate. If your peak demand exceeds this figure, a faster desktop or industrial model will be necessary.

Questions about this item

What USB standard does the QL800 use and what practical limit does it set?

The printer connects via USB 2.0 full-speed, which caps the data rate at 12 Mbps and is sufficient for the 93 labels per minute print speed.

What desk space and roll width does the QL800 require to fit?

It measures 4.90 by 5.60 by 8.40 inches and accepts tape up to 2.40 inches wide, with a maximum print width of 2.30 inches.

How is the QL800 installed and which step do users often skip?

Connect the supplied USB cable and power cord, install the included P-touch Editor software or use the Windows Plug & Label feature, then load a DK roll — users often forget to insert the starter DK-1201 roll before printing.
