Powerful Software Solutions
P-touch Editor 5: This software is included as standard, allowing users to create custom labels with pixel precision. It supports over 15 barcode protocols, advanced image dithering for high-quality greyscale images, and can link to data in Excel spreadsheets for batch printing.
P-touch Template printing: Design labels on your PC and upload them to the printer's memory. Send text or barcode data to be added to the label, and the machine will create and print the new label. This allows for PC-less printing, such as connecting directly to a barcode scanner.
b-PAC Software Development Kit (SDK): For advanced users and system integrators, the b-PAC SDK allows label printing to be incorporated into various Microsoft® Windows™™ applications with just a few lines of code. More details can be found at http://www.brother.com/product/dev/index.htm.
Brother ESC/P printing: Connect to non-Windows devices using the RS-232 serial port. By sending simple text commands, the labelling machine can print the required label without needing drivers or software installation.
Built-in Networking (TD-4100N)
The TD-4100N features an advanced 10/100 Base TX network port as standard, allowing it to be placed anywhere labels are required. This enables multiple users or computers to print to the same label printer. The "distributed printing" function can automatically send print jobs to multiple connected printers for increased throughput.
Web-based management: IT departments can remotely configure the TD-4100N and view its status and errors through a web browser.
BR Admin: This software is compatible with the TD-4100N, providing a professional management tool for Brother network-connected products and other SNMP-compliant network printing devices.
