Label printing

Label printing is the dedicated repair sticker workflow. It is separate from 80mm thermal printing and is designed for small intake labels with QR code, repair ID, customer, device, and issue.

Pro requirement

Wi-Fi label printer setup and repair label printing are Pro-only features. Free shops can still use quote thermal printing and manual labels as the lightweight alternative.

Choose a protocol

• ESC/POS for generic thermal label printers on 60mm continuous media.
• TSPL for TSC-style label printers on 60mm continuous media.
• ZPL for Zebra-style label printers on 60mm continuous media.
• Brother QL for Brother QL-series raster printing on 62mm continuous media.

Set up the label printer

1. 1
   Open Settings -> Shop Management -> Label Printer

   This screen is separate from the shared thermal printer settings.
2. 2
   Enable the label printer and choose the protocol

   Match the protocol to the printer brand and command language.
3. 3
   Keep the default media preset unless you know the hardware exactly

   ESC/POS, TSPL, and ZPL use the 60mm continuous preset. Brother QL uses the 62mm continuous preset.
4. 4
   Enter printer name, IP address, and port 9100

   All supported label protocols use Wi-Fi TCP transport on port 9100.
5. 5
   Run Test Connection and verify preview

   Then print a real repair label from the repair detail action sheet using Print Label.

Languages and Unicode

Before sending content to a text-mode label printer, RepairNode checks whether the actual label text can be rendered safely.

• If the text is safe, the label prints normally.
• If the text is not safe, ESC/POS, TSPL, and ZPL refuse the job instead of printing broken labels full of question marks.
• Brother QL continues because it prints rasterized graphics instead of raw text commands.
