Label designs for the Brother QL-700

New template

The width must match the DK tape you have loaded. For DK-22210 continuous tape the media is 29 mm wide and the QL-700 can actually print about 27.1 mm of it, so a 3 mm margin each side keeps you safely inside the printable area.

Print job

Browser printing: pick Brother QL-700, Scale / Size = 100 % (Actual size), Margins = None, Background graphics ON. The paper size must already exist in the driver — see the Setup tab. The bridge needs none of this.

Brother QL-700 · 29 mm continuous

Set this PC up for printing

A website cannot reach a USB printer on its own, so each PC with a Brother QL-700 needs a small local helper — the print bridge. It listens on this machine only, takes the finished label image from the app and sends it to the printer as raw raster data, which is why no print dialog appears and the driver’s paper size never gets in the way.

On the new PC:

  1. Install the Brother QL-700 driver from Brother’s site and plug the printer in.
  2. Open this app, come to this page and press Download bridge for Windows.
  3. Double-click Install Brother QL-700 Bridge.cmd in Downloads. Windows SmartScreen may warn about an unrecognised file — choose More info → Run anyway, it is the script below and nothing else.
  4. It installs to C:\LabelStudio, starts the bridge and adds it to Startup. Come back here and press Check status.
Tested on Windows 10 and 11 with the Brother QL-700 and 29 mm DK-22210 continuous tape. Other QL-series models speak the same raster language and will probably work, but the printable width and pin offset differ per model, so treat them as untested — print one label and check it before a run.
The installer is a plain text file with the PowerShell script embedded; nothing is fetched from the internet when it runs. Prefer to inspect it first? Download just the .ps1 (). Everything stays on your own machine — the bridge is reachable only from this PC, never from the network.

Printer setup — Brother QL-700, DK-22210 (29 mm continuous)

“The roll of labels or tape inside the machine does not match the one selected in the application.”
The printer is reporting 29 mm continuous tape while the job it received says 62 mm × 29 mm (DK-11209) — the QL-700 driver's factory default. The browser does not read the paper size from this page; it takes it from the driver. There are two places that hold a paper size and the browser uses the second one, which is why changing only the first has no effect.

1 · Create a continuous format of the right length

  1. Windows Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Printers & scanners → Brother QL-700 → Printer properties.
  2. Advanced tab → Printing Defaults…  (not “Printing preferences” — this is the one browsers read)
  3. In that dialog: Advanced tab → Continuous Tape Format → Settings…
  4. New → Name LS 29×62, Width 29.0 mm, Length 62.0 mm, feed 0 → Add → OK.
  5. Back on the Basic tab: Paper Size = LS 29×62, auto cut on, cut every 1 label, quality 300 × 300 dpi → OK, OK.

2 · Mirror it to the per-user setting

  1. Same printer → Printing preferences → Basic tab → Paper Size = LS 29×62 → OK.
  2. Close the browser completely and reopen it. Chrome and Edge cache the printer's paper list and default at startup, so this step is not optional.

3 · Every print

  1. Printer Brother QL-700, paper size LS 29×62, Scale 100 % / Actual size, Margins None, Background graphics on, headers and footers off.
  2. Each template length needs its own format — repeat step 1 for 29 × 50, 29 × 60 and so on.
  3. Measure the first label with a ruler. Out by a few percent means the browser is scaling; fix the scale setting, never resize the template to compensate.
All of this disappears if you use the bridge below — it declares the media inside the data stream, so the driver's paper size is never consulted.

The bridge — printing with no dialog and no paper-size fight

P-touch Editor does not use the ordinary paper-size mechanism at all: it sends raw raster commands straight to the printer, declaring the media in the data stream itself. ql700-bridge.ps1 does the same thing. The Windows driver's paper setting is never consulted, so the “roll of labels or tape … does not match” message cannot occur, and no print dialog appears.

  1. Put ql700-bridge.ps1 somewhere permanent, e.g. C:\LabelStudio\.
  2. Open PowerShell in that folder and run the orientation test once:
    powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\ql700-bridge.ps1 -TestPattern
  3. Look at the label that comes out. Thick bar down the left and across the top, text upright = correct. Bar on the right → add -Mirror. Upside down → add -FlipVertical.
  4. Start the bridge and leave the window open:
    powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\ql700-bridge.ps1
  5. Come back to Products → Print labels. It should say bridge running. Press Print via bridge.
The bridge crops the design to the printer's real printable width — 306 dots (25.9 mm) of the 29 mm tape, about 1.5 mm unprintable at each edge. That is a hardware limit of the QL-700, which is why the templates keep a 3 mm margin.
Useful flags: -ListPrinters, -Png file.png -Copies 5, -Tape 62, -NoCut, -Threshold 160 (darker/lighter cut-off), -Port 8765.

Barcode size — why it matters

A full EAN-13 at 100 % magnification needs 37.3 mm including its quiet zones. On a 29 mm label with 3 mm margins you only have 23 mm across, which is about 62 % — below the GS1 minimum of 80 % and often rejected by retail scanners.

Fix: rotate the barcode field 90° so it runs down the length of the label. The designer shows a live magnification figure on every barcode field — keep it green.
