No software or driver installation is required. Simply connect the USB cable, run the pre-installed P-touch Editor Lite software on the printer, and then design and print your label. It's easy and quick. The QL-700 works with both preformatted individual labels and continuous labels, which are automatically recognized by the device. Using continuous labels allows for flexible printing up to a length of 1 meter. The automatic cutter enables hassle-free multiple prints. Waste is minimized as the cutter is located directly at the print head. The included full version of the P-touch Editor software, which supports the display of graphics as well as one-dimensional and two-dimensional barcodes, simplifies the design of paper or film labels. Special features such as the poster printing function for labels up to four times the label width and mirror printing for labeling glass surfaces with the transparent, film-coated continuous label expand the possibilities. With the add-in feature, data can be easily imported from Microsoft Word, Office, and Outlook. The P-touch Editor software is compatible with both Windows and Mac for the QL-700. Brother label printers and the online service INTERNETMARKE from Deutsche Post allow you to purchase and print postage for national and international shipments.
