Integrate printing within your existing mobile apps and software
Enabling printing within existing apps or software used to be a difficult task.
However, as well as standard printer drivers for Windows®, Mac and Linux, Brother has a range of SDK (Software Development Kits) that allow developers to easily add printing capabilities into existing solutions, or allow new printing apps to be developed quickly and efficiently.
SDKs are available for iOS, Android and Windows® operating systems.
For more information, please visit the Brother European Developer website.

High quality A4 printing on the move
The Brother PJ range of mobile printers offers businesses a reliable way of producing high quality A4 sized prints wherever and whenever they are required.
Featuring direct thermal printing, workers can focus on the job at hand without the inconvenience, or the added cost of purchasing ink, toner or ribbons - the only consumable used is the paper itself. The technology also allows the machine to be mounted, in any orientation, and can be carried around without the risk of spillages, leaks and smudges.

Compact and lightweight
Despite its incredibly small size and lightweight design, the development and manufacturing process has been focused on producing a durable, professional printer that can be carried in a briefcase or computer bag, or permanently mounted in a vehicle.

Bluetooth and USB connectivity
Offering the flexibility of both wired or wireless connections means you can connect to a wide variety of devices such as Android tablets and smartphones, or to Windows®, Mac or Linux based desktops and laptops.
Bluetooth data transmission is fast and secure thanks to Bluetooth v5.2, and with support for SPP, OPP, HCRP (Bluetooth Classic), GATT (Bluetooth Low Energy) and iAP profiles.
