Print labels on the Brother QL-1100 from a CSV file

This page covers one specific combination: a Brother QL-1100 on one side, a CSV file on the other. The printer speaks Brother raster at 300 DPI over a 101.6 mm web; LabelInn maps your fields onto that geometry and sends the job.

How it works

🔗
Step 1 Connect the data Point LabelInn at {source}. Nothing is retyped and nothing is uploaded for you.
🧩
Step 2 Bind the fields Drop a column onto each text, barcode, QR or RFID field. The mapping belongs to the template, so you do it once.
🖨️
Step 3 Print the batch Preview a few rows, then print one label per row on the thermal printer you already own.

Step by step

  1. Export the rows you want to print from your existing system.
  2. Add the .csv file as a data source and confirm the header row.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Brother QL-1100 print labels directly from a CSV file?

Yes. LabelInn reads your CSV data, binds the columns to fields on a label template sized for this printer, and drives the QL-1100 over the connection you selected. You do not export an intermediate file per run.

Do I need a driver for the Brother QL-1100?

Yes. This model prints through its operating-system driver, so install the manufacturer driver first; LabelInn then binds your data onto it.
