### Got Brother? Whether you have a Brother TD, QL, MW, RJ, PT, or PJ printer with WiFi, Bluetooth, Direct WiFi, or MFi, this app is your bridge to print any PDF files or images from any app that supports Print or Share features. It's also a great app to test any Brother printers. It automatically defaults to the most commonly used settings. If you don’t have a Brother printer connected, the app still allows you to view the settings of any supported printers. Setup is super fast! The app remembers all your settings, no matter how many Brother printers you have. The next time you wish to print, it takes only one tap. ### Initial Setup: 1. **Download the app.** 2. **Tap Settings and select a model.** 3. **Tap Printer to find all printers connected to your network (WiFi or Bluetooth).** Some networks may be slower and require you to tap the Printer again. Now you are ready to print! The entire initial setup process, from download to print, should take less than 10 seconds. Subsequently, printing is just ONE TAP. You do not need to open the app to print; it will automatically appear when you select Brother iPrint from the pop-up menu. ### Advantages over AirPrint: 1. Set Halftone (Threshold, Dither, Error Diffusion) 2. Choose a specific media 3. Enable or disable auto cut 4. Set orientation (Portrait, Landscape) 5. Default to the previously selected printer 6. Faster printing 7. Support for Bluetooth and MFi (AirPrint is only WiFi) Supported Brother Printers: QL-710W QL-720NW QL-810W QL-820NWB QL-1110NWB QL-810Wc QL-1110NWBc RJ-2050 RJ-2150 RJ-3050 RJ-3050Ai RJ-3150 RJ-3150Ai RJ-3230B RJ-3250WB RJ-4230B RJ-4250WB RJ-4030Ai RJ-4040 TD-2120W TD-2120B TD-2130W TD-2130B TD-2125NWB TD-2135NWB TD-4550DNWB MW-145MF MW-260MF PT-P300BT PT-P710BT PT-P750W PT-P900W PT-P910BT PT-P950NW PT-D460BT PT-D610BT PJ-673 PJ-763MFi PJ-773 PJ-862 PJ-863 PJ-883 AirPrint Printers The developer is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or in any way connected to Brother Industries, Ltd. or its subsidiaries.
