Brother QL700 Label Printer

Whilst the labels once printed are good the software and software support for this printer is terrible.
It all looks like something out of the 90's and when it didn't install properly as I was on Windows 10, it requires you to manually remove a device driver.

The website support is bad and it is difficult to find anything useful.

So hardware looks OK, software desperately needs to be updated. Whilst the labels once printed are good the software and software support for this printer is terrible.

No issues on Windows 10 but I did get stumped as after installing drivers it would not print or see the printer. Turns out you need to press and hold the "Editor Lite" button on the printer until the LED turns off. Then it works as a normal printer and prints without issue. Hopefully that saves you 30 minutes on hold to Brother support. No issues on Windows 10 but I did get stumped as after installing drivers it would not print or see the printer.

Took a bit of work to get my head around how it all works, such as putting the labels into the printer the right way

Once that sorted I was able to print labels for all my folders.
Amazed at just how quick it is print a label Took a bit of work to get my head around how it all works, such as putting the labels into the printer the right way

Perfect for our application, which involves labelling samples with a QR code. Easy to set up, and very easy to use. File format is proprietary, but in fact is just a zipped file containing mixture of bitmap images and text in an XML file.... so is easy to generate even without the Brother app. Perfect for our application, which involves labelling samples with a QR code.

Well for the first time use it performs pretty dam good. fast, auto cuts just as described. What interests me the most is how the paper handles heat, if you get it too hot, it will turn black. I have left some prints in the dashboard of my van which gets really hot during the summer days and after about 3 weeks they are good as when they were printed. Totally awesome!

No stock on shelf as usual with every PB but plenty out the back,

If you are in the market for a label printer and use a Mac or windows 10 don’t bother

Printer cannot be used on macs anymore as the developers will not update the app so It cannot be run on a mac (to even find the app you need a windows machine aswell to copy the hidden mac folder to a usb then onto your mac)

Windows 10 it won’t even show up with 9 different drivers and softwares being installed and tried from the brother website including the cd that comes with the product

Windows 11 you have to go to the brother website download the software then it will tell yo...view more No stock on shelf as usual with every PB but plenty out the back,

Windows 11 you have to go to the brother website download the software then it will tell you it can’t install the drivers then proceed to put the CD from the box in and try install it will then tell you it can’t install because it’s to old click continue it will then wipe the old/new drivers and install the ones from the cd which will then make the printer be able to work on the machine

Insane hassle for a product that is “plug and play and has software included”
