Who this is for
Teams that already own a Brother QL-1100 and keep the data they label in Excel.
How it works
Step by step
- Create or open a label template and place the fields you need — text, barcode, QR, RFID.
- Add your workbook as a data source and pick the sheet and header row.
- Drag a column onto each field, or pick the column from the field's data-source dropdown.
- Preview row by row to confirm the mapping, then print the range or the whole sheet.

Practical notes for this pairing
- At 300 DPI a single printer dot is about 0.085 mm. Size barcodes in whole dots so the narrow bar lands on an exact dot boundary and stays scannable.
- The QL-1100 prints up to 101.6 mm wide. Check the widest value your Excel data can produce against that width before running a full batch.
- Connections available on this model: USB. Pick the one the machine running the job can actually reach.
- The QL-1100 does not expose a direct command path in LabelInn, so this combination prints through the operating-system driver for the model. The data binding is identical; only the output path differs.

Frequently asked questions
Can the Brother QL-1100 print labels directly from an Excel file?
Yes. LabelInn reads your Excel 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.
