Brother QL-820NWB Ultra-Flexible Label Printer with Multiple Connectivity
The Brother QL-820NWB is a fast, versatile professional label printer designed for businesses that need flexible connectivity and dependable label printing. With built-in Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, Wireless Direct and USB connectivity, the QL-820NWB can easily integrate into offices, warehouses, retail environments, healthcare facilities, shipping stations and other professional workflows.
Using direct thermal printing technology, the QL-820NWB requires no ink or toner, helping reduce maintenance and ongoing printing costs. It supports Brother DK die-cut and continuous-length label rolls up to 2.4 inches (62mm) wide, making it suitable for everything from address and shipping labels to barcodes, file-folder labels, name badges and inventory identification.
Fast Professional Label Printing
Keep busy operations moving with print speeds of up to 110 standard address labels per minute at 300 dpi. The built-in automatic cutter provides clean, consistent cuts and makes it easy to produce individual labels or custom-sized labels from continuous rolls.
Multiple Connectivity Options
The QL-820NWB provides several ways to connect and print, making it an excellent choice for both individual workstations and shared network environments.
- Wireless 802.11b/g/n
- Wired Ethernet
- Bluetooth wireless technology
- Wireless Direct
- Hi-Speed USB 2.0
- USB Host for compatible peripherals
The USB Host connection can also be used with supported peripherals such as barcode scanners, making the printer particularly useful for inventory, warehouse and point-of-service applications.
Wireless and Mobile Label Printing
Create and print labels from compatible mobile devices over your wireless network. The QL-820NWB supports AirPrint and Brother's mobile label-printing solutions, allowing users to quickly create and print professional labels.
For desktop label creation, Brother's P-touch Editor software provides additional tools for designing labels and working with business data.
Black and Red Label Printing
Unlike many standard thermal label printers, the QL-820NWB can produce black and red printing when used with compatible Brother DK-2251 continuous-length black/red-on-white paper tape.
This makes it possible to create labels with more visible warnings, important information, promotional messages, expiration notices and other attention-grabbing elements without requiring an ink or toner cartridge.
Standalone Printing Capability
The built-in backlit monochrome LCD display allows the QL-820NWB to support standalone operation using stored label templates. This can help streamline repetitive labeling tasks without requiring the printer to remain connected to a computer for every print job.
The printer can store transferred templates, making it suitable for environments where employees need quick access to predefined label formats.

Brother's drop-in DK rolls also make changing label sizes and types quick and convenient.
