Everyone wants an easier way to print. Especially in the field, where money is attached to minutes. If your apps can’t connect to a Brady printer, here’s the fix: Brady’s Software Development Kit (SDK).

With it, your employees can use their own Android or iOS apps to print labels. It’s fast. It’s convenient. It’s a seamless way to get label data to a Brady printer.

How does it work?

Create a label template

This will have uneditable objects and editable placeholders. (You’ll need Brady Workstation desktop software to do this.)

See The Software
Write code to call Brady’s SDK library functions. This allows your app to connect to a Brady printer, map variable data to the template, preview the label and print.

The SDK Library … connecting you to your work

The SDK Library is the way work gets done. It connects, retrieves, monitors and supports you, allowing for faster and more efficient workflows. With it, you’ll be able to:

Connect to an M211 or M611 Label Printer using Bluetooth Classic or Network Wi-Fi
Populate a Brady Workstation label template
Retrieve printer status, errors, power and name
Retrieve dimensions of the installed label material
Set print copies and cut options
Preview the label before printing
See print progress
Print to your M211 or M611 Label Printer

Compatibility:

The Brady Android SDK supports devices running Android version 6 or newer and works with the Brady M211 and M611 printers.
The iOS SDK only supports the Brady M211 printer.
