Brother QL-Series Networked DK-Roll Label Printer
Brother QL-820NWB Wireless Label Printer
The networked QL in this range. The QL-820NWB prints the same 62 mm Brother DK rolls at up to 176 mm per second, and adds wired Ethernet, wireless LAN and Bluetooth Classic on top of USB, with a graphic LCD status display and room for 255 stored templates. Like the QL-800 it can print black and red text on the same roll.
Quick Glance
Key Features
176 mm/sec — the fastest QL in the range
The QL-820NWB is Brother's quickest DK-roll printer here, printing at up to 176 mm per second against the QL-800's 148 mm per second. Combined with 255 templates of on-board storage, it is built for a shared print station rather than a single desk, where several people are sending label jobs through the day.
Wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, plus USB
Where the QL-800 is USB-only, the QL-820NWB adds wired Ethernet, wireless LAN and Bluetooth Classic (SPP, OPP, BIP and HCRP profiles), so it can sit on the network as a shared printer or pair directly with a nearby device, as well as connect over USB to a single PC.
255-template memory and a graphic status display
A 320 x 120 dot graphic LCD with backlight shows the printer's status at a glance, and its 6 MB of on-board memory holds up to 255 saved label templates — well over double the QL-800's 99 — so frequently printed labels can be recalled without resending them from a PC each time.

Need-to-Know
Two DK-roll desktop printers sharing the same 62 mm roll width and DK media system. What changes between them is speed and how they connect.
- Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are all built in on this model, but Brother's own specification for the QL-820NWB lists no battery option — treat it as a mains-powered desktop printer only, unless you can confirm otherwise before ordering.
- Black-and-red two-colour printing needs a compatible red/black DK roll loaded. On standard black-on-white DK rolls, only black prints.
- This is a DK-roll printer, not a TZe tape machine — it does not take Brother's P-touch laminated tape cassettes, so existing TZe tape will not fit it.
- Bluetooth here is Classic (SPP, OPP, BIP and HCRP profiles), not Bluetooth Low Energy — check compatibility with your device before relying on a Bluetooth connection.
| Model | Max roll width | Print speed | Connectivity |
|---|---|---|---|
| QL-800 | 62 mm | 148 mm/sec | USB |
| QL-820NWB (this page) | 62 mm | 176 mm/sec | USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth |
Pick the QL-820NWB when the printer needs to sit on the network, print over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, or serve more than one desk. If a single USB-tethered station is all you need, the QL-800 does the same core printing for less.

Brother's own published specification for the QL-820NWB does not list a battery option, only a 240V AC external adapter. If battery operation matters to you, confirm with us before ordering rather than assuming it is available.
