Choosing a barcode printer

11.10.2024 00:00

A label printer is needed when a store prints price tags, barcodes, or product labels. The video compares printing methods and connection options. Before choosing, determine which labels you use, how wide they need to be, and how many workstations will print them each day.

What to consider

Thermal and thermal transfer printing differ in their consumables and print durability. Also check that the printer interface is compatible with your computer and network setup. After connecting it, print a test label from Торгсофт and check the barcode with a scanner.
