The Brother QL 570 is a dedicated label printer for tasks such as creating address labels, file labels, and identification tags. Its driver enables Windows to communicate with the printer and gives compatible applications access to the print settings needed to produce correctly sized labels.

Key Features

• Reliable printer communication: Allows Windows and compatible label-design software to send print jobs to the Brother QL 570 through its USB connection.
• Label size and layout settings: Provides controls for matching the print layout to the installed label roll, helping prevent cropped text and misplaced content.
• Print output adjustments: Makes supported printer settings available so you can adjust output for text, graphics, and barcodes.
• Application integration: Lets compatible programs use the printer through the Windows printing system. Label-design software may require a separate installation.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm whether your computer uses Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, then check whether it requires a 32-bit or 64-bit driver. Choose a Brother QL 570 package that explicitly supports your system; compatibility can vary between releases.
2. Prepare the printer. Connect the power supply and load a suitable label roll. Keep the USB cable disconnected until the installer asks you to connect it, unless the package instructions say otherwise.
3. Run the driver installer. Download the appropriate package, extract it if necessary, and open the setup file. Allow administrator access when prompted and follow the installation instructions.
4. Connect and finish setup. Attach the printer directly to an available USB port when requested. Let Windows complete device detection, then restart the computer if the installer recommends it.
5. Verify the label settings. Open your label application, select the Brother QL 570, and match the selected label size to the roll you loaded. Print a sample label to check alignment and readability before starting a larger batch.

If the printer does not appear, check the USB connection and confirm that the correct printer is selected in your application. For layout problems, review the label dimensions and orientation before reinstalling the driver.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Run the Brother QL-570 installer as administrator, disconnect the USB cable until prompted, and remove any older QL-570 entries in Printers & scanners and Device Manager first.
• Device not detected: Power on the QL-570, try a different USB cable and direct USB 2.0 port (avoid hubs), then restart the Print Spooler service and reinstall the Brother driver.
• Version conflicts: Uninstall old QL-570 drivers and P-touch Editor versions, clear leftover Brother driver packages via Print Server Properties, reboot, then install the latest full driver package.
