The Printer Label Library (Y/B Parts Database)
New generation Brady printers that read smart-cell ribbon and label media use an internal parts database. The information in this parts database enables the printer to apply optimal print settings for any label material with minimal user configuration.
Note: YB Parts Database is now considered the Printer Label Library. Locate the Printer Label Library files on Bradyid.com.
