Using
Open your browser on the shown URL (defaults to http://127.0.0.1:8013/
). The application uses modern JavaScript (promises, blobs, etc) and requires a modern browser. It was tested with Chrome only, but probably works in Firefox, too.
Label Templates
Labels are based on HTML templates located in the static/labels/
directory. Templates need to start with a supported label size followed by an underscore. See pklaus/brother_ql for a list of supported sizes.
The templates need to contain exactly one root element, specifying the exact size of the label in pixels (again, check the above site for proper values).
Elements containing an input
class can be edited through the form.
Divs with the qrcode
class will be converted to a QR Code. They also need the input
class and a data-value
attribute instead of an inner text.
