Two-Tone Printing for the Brother Printer

Print in red and black with a Brother QL-820NWBc printer

The Brother QL-820NWBc is a monochrome label printer that uses thermal label rolls to print badges. Brother offers a unique roll that supports both black and red printing on a white background. This allows Verkada Guest users to print badges with red and black using Brother printers.

Requirements

• Load the printer with the Brother black/red on white roll (DK-2251). Refer to this guide for instructions on loading label rolls.

• A tablet running the Guest app is online and connected to the Brother printer with the DK-2251 roll installed.

• Black/red on white rolls print slower than black on white rolls, even for badges that do not feature red content.

• If a badge has red content but the printer is not loaded with a black/red on white roll, the content will default to black.
