Are you just getting started to print your first Amazon FBA or shipping label using a Brother Printer to deliver your first order? Setting up your Brother Printer and software properly is very crucial to print high-quality labels without any error. It will help you maximize your printing on a Brother label printer.

Label printing for your business can be time-consuming. With a growing customer base and a plethora of label types available in the market, you’ll need a label printing process that allows printing multiple labels at once in order to save your time and effort for other business activities. We understand that it is hard to migrate from your old inkjet printer to a printer that is specifically designed to print Brother labels for various commercial uses. But having a dedicated label printer is good for your business’ efficiency and productivity.

Brother label printers are easier to set up and use than any other printer you know about. Unlike Inkjet printers, you don’t need to worry about faulty jams and paper cutting during and after the printing process. In this post, we will take you through the steps that you may need to follow for setting up and getting started with your Brother printer.

To set up your brother printer, here’re the things you should check before printing brother labels for your business:

1. Your printer must be plugged in and turned on. Brother Printers has an indicator light that shows the printer status during the printing process.

These are the light indicators to show printer status:

• Blinking Green: The printer is ready to print
• Orange Lamp: Roll cover is opened
• Blinking orange: The printer is resetting/cooling
• Red Lamp: The printer is booting
• Flashing Red Lamp: Error in the printer. You can go through the troubleshooting guide to fix the issue

These indicators allow you to quickly check your printer’s readiness for the printing job without any hassle.  

2. Connect the USB cable to the computer and Brother printer. You need to configure printer settings and give printing instructions using your computer, so you should check if everything is installed and set correctly for a proper printing environment.

3. You should also check if you have the shipping/mailing software and drivers installed on your computer that you need to print labels for your specific business purpose. Brother labels are compatible with almost every popular shipping/mailing software such as USPS, Endicia, Click-N-Ship, Pitney Bowes Shipstream Manager Deluxe, eBay, and PayPal.

Once everything is in place, you are all set to print your brother labels either using Microsoft Office or Brother P-Touch Editor as per your convenience. eBay and some other shipping mailing software also support direct printing with Brother label printer without the need of any other editor.
