Desktop direct-thermal label printer

The Brother QL-820NWB prints up to 110 labels per minute at 300 x 600 dpi using direct-thermal technology, so no ink or toner is required. It targets small businesses, offices and mobile workers who need fast, on-demand labels for shipping, barcodes, name badges or postage. The built-in auto-cutter handles die-cut or continuous media up to 2.40 inches wide and 3.00 feet long.

Capacity and headroom

Six megabytes of flash memory store fonts and templates for standalone printing, while the cutter is rated for 300,000 die-cut or 150,000 continuous cuts. Print width reaches 2.30 inches, covering standard address labels and wider shipping formats. Very high-volume environments or applications needing colour output beyond black and red will exceed the practical throughput of this desktop unit.

Connectivity and integration

Interfaces include USB 2.0 full-speed with host capability for peripherals, Bluetooth 2.1, 802.11 b/g/n wireless LAN and 10/100 wired Ethernet. Windows Vista through 10 plus Server 2008/2012 and Mac OS X 10.10.5 to 10.12.x are supported. The free iPrint&Label app and AirPrint enable label design and printing from iOS or Android devices without a PC. SDKs are available for custom software integration.
