TD-4000 / TD-4100N

Professional label printers for all labelling applications
Brother has been developing label printing technology for more than twenty years, and
the TD-4000 and TD-4100N both offer the ability to print high quality labels on demand,
whatever the label requirement. Printing labels up to 4”/102 mm in width, and at a speed
of up to 110 mm/second, these two fully featured machines also offer a built-in cutter
as standard to avoid the need of a cumbersome tear-bar. Furthermore, you can create
labels of any length, from 25 mm right up to 3 metres, by installing a continuous label
roll and cutting to the correct size.
Professional label printers

Powerful software
P-touch Editor label design software is included as standard, giving you the ability
to create any label required, without the additional cost of purchasing label design
software. It supports the most common 1D and 2D barcode protocols, importing
of graphic images, and even merging of data contained in Excel and MSDE/SQL
databases onto your labels.
Brother can also supply an SDK (Software Development Kit) to give you an easy method
of incorporating label printing directly from within your own software programs, or you
can use the printer’s built-in ESC/P and template modes to print from non-windows
based PC’s and other devices.

include cutters, software and networking
as standard - often found as options on

Built-in networking
The professional and reliable method of connecting label printers is typically via a
network, and the TD-4100N incorporates a 10/100 Base TX network port as standard.
By giving the opportunity to locate the label printer away from the PC, you have the
advantage of being able to place the label printer wherever your labels are required.
And of course, networking offers the ability for any number of users or computers to
print their labels to the same label printer. If many copies of labels are required quickly,
the “distributed printing” function (found in the printer driver) will automatically send
the print job to two or more connected printers - thereby increasing throughput. As
an example, if two TD-4100N label printers are set up for distributed printing and 10
copies of a label are required, the driver will automatically send five labels to one printer,
and five labels to another.
With an advanced 10/100 base TX
network port as standard, the TD-4100N
label printer can be placed anywhere that
labels are required
By connecting the TD-4100N to a nearby network point, the machine can be sited wherever the labels are required

Web based management
IT departments can remotely configure the TD-4100N thanks to the advanced
built-in web based management. By logging into the printer using your web browser,
the network settings can be configured. Should a problem arise with the printer, the
current status and error can also be viewed remotely.
BR Admin
The TD-4100N is also fully compatible with the Brother BR Admin software. This
powerful software is a professional management tool that can manage your Brother
network-connected products. It can also be used to view the status of other SNMP
compliant network printing devices. So if you have several Brother label printers, or
indeed other Brother networked products, they can all be centrally managed from one
simple user interface.

Warehousing and logistics
With the most common sizes of shipping labels available for the TD-4000 and
TD-4100N, and the ability to create custom sized labels using the built-in cutter, there
are many uses for these models in the warehouse. Brother RD label rolls are made of
high quality materials, ensuring the printed text and barcodes stay readable on the label
while items are being shipped.
Typical applications include:
Shipping labels
Barcode labels
Part bin identification
Temporary warehouse racking identification labels
Location labels
Signage
Pallet identification labels
Address labels can be created quickly and easily - you can
even incorporate logos or other graphics
Create temporary warehouse racking identification labels as
and when required
The continuous roll offers the ability to create temporary
signage on demand
Barcodes, company logos and other information is easily
printed up to 4 inch/102 mm wide

Healthcare, medical and laboratory
With the strict regulations on the tracking of patient specimens and other items within
the healthcare industry, clear, high quality labelling is essential to maintain safety and
traceability. The Brother TD-4100N, with its integrated 10/100 Base TX network port
gives the chance to place the machine away from the PC, wherever the labels are
needed. With support for the most common barcode protocols, both models are ideally
suited to any labelling task.
Typical applications include:
Appointment cards
Admission labels
Specimen and pathology labels
Blood bank labels
Microscope slide labels
Laboratory labels
Microbiology labels
Ensure that patients’ specimens are clearly and
correctly identified
A large amount of data can be recalled instantly by
including a 2D barcode on the label
Locate patients’ records and other important
documentation quickly with an identification label
Labels are available in a range of different sizes for the
most common labelling applications
