README

This library is a WIP.

Easily print labels with a Brother label printer.

This library is tested with the following Brother printers,

• QL-580N - tested by xelan
• QL-720NW - tested by RamyTalal
• QL-810W - tested by ntaylor-86
• QL-820NWB - Tested by ArienClaij and Luc99
• QL-1110NWB - Tested by JETomi

so it may not work with other printers.
