How to use

Install the included or downloadable P-touch Editor software on a PC or Mac and connect the printer via USB. Design labels using text, images and barcodes, or import data from Excel/.csv for batch printing. For FBA labels, select the driver’s crop-print function to extract and print individual barcode labels from the Amazon PDF.

Recommendations

Use Brother DK media recommended for the QL-1100 (pre-sized die-cut or continuous rolls) to ensure reliable feeding and print quality. For high-volume or integrated applications, use the Windows SDK (b-PAC) to automate printing and template selection. Store templates in the printer memory for quick on-device printing via the USB host when connecting compatible hardware.
