Printing from iPhone and iPad

JetLabel on iOS and iPadOS supports AirPrint and suitably configured network label printers using supported protocols. Check the printer and its network configuration before printing.

Each model page shows whether the printer works on Mac with its macOS driver and whether direct network printing from iPhone and iPad is possible. The ratings are based on manufacturer specifications. Brother QL and Bluetooth direct printing are not supported on iOS.

Does the Brother P-touch (PT series) work on macOS?

Yes, with the macOS driver from Brother. JetLabel prints through the macOS printing system; on Mac it does not send printer commands directly. This assessment is based on the manufacturer’s specifications, not on a test by JetLabel. Try it with your printer during the 7-day trial.

And on iPhone and iPad?

Printing from iPhone and iPad is not supported for the Brother P-touch (PT series).
