# Supported printers Tapeory prints on Brother P-touch (PT) and QL label printers in Brother's raster format. Everything it knows about a model (print head, resolution, media, and which commands and options it takes) comes from Brother's official *Raster Command Reference* manuals. The list below covers all 162 PT and QL models on Brother's support websites in all 49 countries and regions, checked against Tapeory's model table (`Tapeory.Api/Printing/BrotherCatalog.cs`): 34 are supported. **How to connect** - **Network:** add the printer with its IP address or hostname; Tapeory prints to its raw port (usually 9100) and reads its status over SNMP. - **USB (or Bluetooth) models:** connect the printer to a machine running CUPS, create a raw queue for it, and add that CUPS server in Tapeory as a *print server* with the queue name. When the queue prints to the printer's network address, Tapeory also reads its status over SNMP. Enter the model name in the printer's settings; Tapeory offers the resolutions and cutting options that model supports. ## Supported ### P-touch, 180 dpi (TZe tape up to 24 mm, HSe heat-shrink tube) | Model | Connection | High resolution (180 × 360 dpi) | Half cut | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | PT-P750W | Network | ✓ | ✓ | | PT-E550W | Network | ✓ | ✓ | | PT-P700 | USB (CUPS) | | | | PT-H500 | USB (CUPS) | | | | PT-E500 | USB (CUPS) | | | | PT-P710BT | USB (CUPS) | ✓ | | | PT-E310BT | USB (CUPS) | | ✓ | | PT-E510 | USB (CUPS) | ✓ | ✓ | | PT-E560BT | USB (CUPS) | ✓ | ✓ | ### P-touch, 360 dpi (TZe tape up to 36 mm, HSe heat-shrink tube) | Model | Connection | High resolution (360 × 720 dpi) | Half cut | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | PT-P900W | Network | ✓ | ✓ | | PT-P950NW | Network | ✓ | ✓ | | PT-P900 | USB (CUPS) | ✓ | ✓ | | PT-P910BT | USB (CUPS) | | ✓ | ### QL, 300 dpi (DK rolls up to 62 mm) Continuous rolls (12–62 mm), die-cut labels (17 × 54 to 62 × 100 mm) and round labels (12, 24, 58 mm).

QL printers offer auto cut, cut at end and cut marks (they have no half cut or chain printing); the QL-500, without a cutter, prints cut marks only. ## Not supported **With a computer connection, but no published raster protocol.** Brother publishes no Raster Command Reference for these, so Tapeory doesn't guess at their format: PT-1230PC, PT-1500PC, PT-2300, PT-2420PC, PT-2430PC, PT-2450DX, PT-2500PC, PT-2700, PT-2730, PT-3600, PT-7600, PT-9200DX, PT-9200PC, PT-9500PC, PT-9600, PT-9700PC, PT-9800PCN, PT-D410, PT-D450, PT-D460BT, PT-D600, PT-D610BT, PT-D800W, PT-E720BT, PT-E800T, PT-E800TK, PT-E800W, PT-E850TKW, PT-E920BT. The PT-P300BT and PT-N25BT work only with Brother's mobile apps. **Standalone labelers** with a built-in keyboard and no computer connection can't receive print jobs: PT-12, PT-24, PT-45M, PT-55, PT-65, PT-70, PT-80, PT-90, PT-170, PT-190, PT-240, PT-550, PT-900, PT-1000, PT-1005, PT-1010, PT-1080, PT-1090, PT-1100, PT-1100CH, PT-1180, PT-12K, PT-1260, PT-1280, PT-1280KT, PT-1280SN, PT-1290, PT-1400, PT-1600, PT-1650, PT-1700, PT-1750, PT-1800, PT-1810, PT-1830, PT-1880, PT-1890, PT-18N, PT-18R, PT-18RKT, PT-1900, PT-1910, PT-1950, PT-1960, PT-2030, PT-2030AD, PT-2040, PT-2100, PT-2110, PT-2310, PT-2400, PT-2410, PT-2460, PT-2470, PT-2480, PT-2600, PT-2610, PT-2710, PT-7100, PT-7500, PT-9400, PT-D200 (and its colour editions PT-D200DR/KN/KT/LB/RK/SN), PT-D201, PT-D202, PT-D210, PT-D220, PT-D400, PT-E100, PT-E105, PT-E110, PT-E115, PT-E115B, PT-E200, PT-E300, PT-H100, PT-H101, PT-H101C, PT-H101GB, PT-H102, PT-H103W, PT-H105, PT-H107, PT-H108, PT-H110, PT-H111, PT-H200, PT-H300, PT-H75, PT-M95, PT-N10, PT-N20. (Some older models in this group had a serial or USB port on certain versions; none of them has a published raster protocol either.) ## Sources - Brother *Software Developer's Manual – Raster Command Reference*: PT-E550W/P750W/P710BT, PT-H500/P700/E500, PT-E310BT/E510/E560BT, PT-P900/P900W/P950NW (incl.
