Two-Tone Printing for the Brother Printer

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

Updated this week

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 or black borders.

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.


Design a badge with a border

  1. Follow the steps in Design a Visitor Badge in Guest.

  2. Under Border Color, check the red or black box.

Border color, border style, and orientation can be connected to a badge design rule.

Considerations

  • Black/red on white rolls print slower than black on white rolls, even for badges without a red border.

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