The Brother PT-9700PC and PT-9800PCN Desktop Barcode and  
Label Printers use self-contained Genuine Brother P-touch media  
cassettes to print the label and apply the lamination in a single  
process.The thermal transfer technology provides a crisp, high-  
quality output, while the simultaneous printing and lamination  
process produces durable, protected labels that are suitable for  
many applications.The media is available in a wide variety of colors  
and sizes, with different adhesives and performance characteristics  
to meet the needs for harsh-environment labeling:

Key Product Features  
• Harsh environment labeling - laminated labels offer protection  
from moisture, temperature extremes, certain chemicals, and  
abrasion.  
• High speed, high resolution thermal transfer printing -  
maximun print speed is 3.15 ips; maximum resolution is  
360 x 720 dpi.  
• HG tape is a high-grade media that provides a high  
resolution (up to 360 x 720 dpi) for printing fine text, graphics,  
barcodes and logos, or a faster throughput (up to 3.15 ips)  
for assembly line and other demanding applications.  
• Drop-in label cassettes eliminate the maintenance required  
with other thermal transfer printers - no transfer ribbons to  
install or align and no density calibrations required.  
• TZ tape is available with four different adhesives to match  
your specific application:  
• Built-in auto cutter allows labels of various lengths to be  
printed. Half-cut feature allows multiple labels to be printed  
on a single strip and peeled off as needed.  
• Standard adhesive for general purpose labeling on flat,  
smooth surfaces.  
• Extra Strength adhesive for labeling on textured,  
rough, and uneven surfaces, and on a variety of  
plastics and other hard-to-stick material.  
• Built-in Ethernet port on the PT-9800PCN allows multiple  
users to share one printer.  
• Host USB port on the PT-9800PCN lets you connect a  
USB scanner and print labels from scanned barcode data to  
downloaded label templates.  
• Flexible ID adhesive for labeling cables and wires,  
pipes and fittings, beakers and test tubes, sharp  
bends, hydraulic and electrical connectors, and other  
rounded surfaces.  
• Print from non-Windows applications via the USB, serial and  
Ethernet interfaces using ESC/P emulation or ASCII data.  
• Tamper-Evident adhesive that leaves behind a  
checkerboard pattern if the label is removed. It’s  
great for asset management, property tags, company  
tools, calibration labels, and other security applications.  
• Distributed printing can spread large print jobs over multiple  
printers.  
• Five resident fonts and over 14 linear and two-dimensional  
barcode symbologies.  
• Bundled with P-touch Editor, a powerful software application for  
designing and printing customized, on-demand labels. You  
can also use it to connect to a variety of data files.  
HG and TZ tapes can be used for both indoor and outdoor  
applications. The Extra Strength and Flexible ID adhesive tapes  
are UL recognized (UL-969) for indoor and outdoor labeling  
applications. The following chart shows a comparison between  
the HG and TZ tapes.  
• BRAdmin Light network management software is included with  
the PT-9800PCN to make it easier to set up and manage Brother  
desktop barcode and label printers.
