Woodruff - Marking Installing Brother QL-500 Printer

Instructions on how to set up the Brother QL-500 printer to use with SpineOMatic.

This printer will be using the DK-2210 Continuous roll of labels.  Installing the printer driver and configuring the settings does require Admin privileges.

The printer driver zip file can be downloaded from the https://www.brother-usa.com/ site. The file can be downloaded and extracted without Admin rights, but to run the installer, the rights would be required. Once the files are installed, and the computer restarted, there are a few settings to be changed for the printer.
