Creating Labels
Create label files using the Brady Express Labels app. When you first create a label file, you specify
the printer. This allows the software to provide features specific to your printer. Also, the software
automatically detects the cartridge installed in the printer. See “Software for Creating Labels” on
page 9.
Printing
Before printing, you must use a software program to create labels. See “Software for Creating Labels”
on page 9.
To print labels:
1. Make sure the printer is on and the cartridge is locked.
2. On the mobile device, open the label file.
3. Tap the print button in the software.
The software sends the labels to the printer.
If a print job is interrupted, for instance when the cartridge runs out, the system automatically stops the
print job and lights the error indicator. The Express Labels app displays a message indicating that the
cartridge has run out.
IMPORTANT! When not using the printer, be sure to unlock the cartridge.
If the cartridge is left
