Brother Drivers
Brother Industries was founded over 100 years ago in Japan. In 1908, Kanekichi Yasui founded Yasui Sewing Machine Co. which was later renamed as Yasui Brothers' Sewing Machine Co. in 1925. The company mass produced sewing machines and began exporting them by 1947.
By the 1950s and 1960s, the company had many divisions, several name changes, and branched into other industries including home electric appliances, business machines, and machine tools. Typewriters and printers soon followed. Further diversification occurred with a move toward telecommunications in 1987 and online karaoke in 1992.
The U.S. subsidiary of Brother Industries is Brother International Corporation which was established in 1954. The Brother product mix includes printers, fax machines, multifunction devices, labelers, label printers, garment printers, consumer sewing machines, industrial sewing machines, typewriters, stamp creators, gear motors, and machine tools.
Brother makes several different types of printers including black and white laser printers, color laser printers, and label printers. Brother label printers are often used in shipping departments for printing mailing labels. Depending on the model, these printers connect to a PC or network and print labels anywhere from 2 to 4 inches wide.
Another type of labeling system that Brother is well known for is the P-Touch labeler. These personal label makers are handheld electronic units that print out labels based on the user's input. A small label cartridge goes inside the device. An on-board cutter cuts each label once printed.
Brother fax machines are found in homes and businesses around the world. Fax machines have come a long way since rolls of thermal paper and slow modem speeds. Brother fax machines come in models for all budgets including fax machines using ribbon transfer technology, black and white ink jet technology, color inkjet technology, and laser technology. The top-of-the-line Brother fax machine features a high speed modem, high capacity memory, dual paper trays, secure fax reception, high-yield toner cartridges, and network connectivity.
Brother's multi-function products combine common office equipment into one multi-function center. For example, a typical Brother Multi-Function Center device incorporates printing, copying, scanning, and faxing into one device. Many of these units also include a corded telephone handset as well as wireless or Ethernet connectivity.
Brother hasn't forgotten its roots and continues to make sewing machines. With 100 years of progress, today's sewing machine is a far cry from the original Brother models. LCD displays, digital controls, automatic needle threading, are among the latest innovations. Embroidery machines with USB ports are popular.
Brother continues to be a familiar name with products such as printers, fax machines, labelers, and sewing machines found in homes and businesses around the world.
