Plugins>Brother P-Touch!

Welcome to the WireCAD plugin for Brother P-touch Electronic Label printers. This plugin supports any of the P-touch printer drivers for Windows, and works in conjunction with the stock P-touch .lbl template formats.


Bulbgraph.png Note: For best results this plugin should be installed in conjunction with at least one P-touch printer driver (follow the instructions with the printer) and the P-touch editor v4.1 or better.

For the latest drivers and software, visit the Brother website at www.brother.com

In order to work properly the Brother_PTouch.Plugin.dll file and support folders must be installed in the WireCAD6\bin folder. Place the BrotherPTouch.wpi file in WireCAD6\bin\plugins folder.

The minimum WireCAD build version to work with this plugin is 6.0.1400


Bulbgraph.png Note: This plugin assumes that you have data in your Project Cables or Project Systems database.
