This article provides instructions for updating the Printer Label Library (Previously the YB Parts Database). See this article to upgrade the M611 firmware: How to Upgrade the Firmware on the M611.

M611 Label Printer firmware can be upgraded by downloading the firmware from Bradyid.com or directly through Brady Workstation. The M611 Label Printer has the Authentic A mark above the right of the LCD screen. 

What Is the Printer Label Library (Previously YB Parts Database)?
 

The Printer Label Library provides this information to the printer: 

  • Label and ribbon part numbers
  • Burn values (print head energy)
  • Label rotations
  • Allows new part compatibility
  • Allows new ribbon and label combination compatibility
  • Determines feed settings for parts should be torn off, fed to the cutter, or contains a perforations


Why should I update my M611 Printer Label Library files?

  • Your printer is not detecting a custom part
  • Your printer is not detecting a part listed as compatible on BradyID
  • Your labels are printing light when using the correct ribbon and label combination
  • Print position is offset
  • The printer displays "invalid media" or other media errors
