Why choose the Barcode Utility Fonction+
Barcode Utility is a Brother Fonction+: the function reads barcodes on scanned documents to name, split and route them automatically to the right folder or business software. It is added to a compatible Brother device already in service, without extra hardware, and is managed from the device administration interface. Fonctions+ address the print security, document productivity and support needs of SMBs and IT departments.
Devices compatible with the ZBR8LS48BAR license
The Barcode Utility Fonction+ activates on the following 20 Brother models (Brother France catalog, June 2026):
One license per device; check the exact reference and firmware version before buying.
Activation
After purchase you receive the license code by email. It is activated on the device with its serial number, from the web administration interface or the Brother management tool; the function is then available on the device screen or in the driver. No physical shipment: delivery is electronic.
Usage and advice
The Barcode Utility Fonction+ is for companies that want more from their Brother fleet without replacing it: scanned document organization by barcode reading. Other Fonctions+ available: Custom UI (ZBR8LS33CUI), Secure Print+ (ZBR8LS36SPP), Secure Print Advanced (ZBR8LSSPA006), Barcode Print+ (ZBR8LSBPP004), Request Help (ZBR8LSRHS001), Remote Panel (ZBR8LSRPS003), Order Supplies (ZBR8LSOSS002), ThinPrint Client (ZBR8LSTPC005).
