The scanning software can do OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to scan to editable text files (with no formatting); or scan to PDFs as images (layout preserved).

Alternatively you can also scan your documents into searchable PDFs (OCRed text layer superimposed on scanned image).

As these scanners are sheet-fed, they can only scan loose-leaf pages. For bound books, you’ll need to use a flat-bed scanner instead.

The QL-700 is suitable for both small and large jobs. A range of pre-designed labels and banners are available in the Label Collection feature, ensuring commonly used professional labels are printed quickly and safely.

“It is ideally suited for office and home use, as well as vertical markets including medical, retailing, logistics and shipping. Users can produce labels such as address or shipping labels quickly, easily and professionally,” said Mr Nigel Lee, Country Manager, Brother International Singapore Pte Ltd.With the use of a continuous roll or die-cut of tape, users can print labels to size from 12mm to 62mm in width.

Also included is the P-touch Editor version 5 software, allowing users to customise their prints. The software also has the ability to print barcodes, graphics, and company logos.

It also prints Chinese, Japanese, Korean characters and any other foreign languages and can connect to databases to print name lists, product list and mailing address.

It is compatible with Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook and users can utilise the Add-in Feature to print directly within these applications, without the need to open P-touch Editor software.

With ‘Plug and Print’, users simply connect a USB cable to start labelling immediately. There are no virus concerns and the QL-700 can be easily shared with others.

The QL-700 uses direct thermal printing, eliminating the need to replace toner or ink cartridges.

Consumables are available in both a wide range of die-cut options as well as continuous length paper or film tape.

Brother label printer consumables are supplied on a spool, which is ready to slot into the QL-700, ensuring easy and correct installation.

The automatic detection technology instantly recognises the label size and adjusts instantly. This not only ensures all labels are aligned correctly but also prevents the wastage of labels.
