Barcode Printers
Faster, more accurate data entry. Real-time sales figures. Reduced
labor costs. Such tangible benefits have propelled barcode use to every
level of industry from small business to the global enterprise.
Choosing the right printer is essential to designing a successful system.
Barcode printers are designed to accommodate your infrastructure and
personnel, as well as compliance label specifications.
Wireless Network Solutions carries industry-leading Zebra barcode printers
to help automate your inventory tracking, warehousing and shipping activities.

Why barcode printers?
Barcode printers provide superior print quality, media support and longevity
when compared to other options such as inkjet or laser printers. They
simplify barcode creation by supporting variable data fields, commonly
used software, multiple media types, label sizes and printing speeds.
And they eliminate costly waste, since users print only what they need,
when they need it.
Benefits:
- Better quality control with labels printed on demand
- Durable enough for industrial operations
- Lower TCO (total cost of ownership) than laser or dot matrix
- Distributed printing across the network
- Adapt easily to a variety of label sizes
- Ideal for high-definition barcodes
Selecting a barcode printer
The printers you choose will depend on several factors. Be sure to take
each one into account to maximize performance and minimize frustration.
First, think about the function of your barcode labels – are you using
them for shipping, product labels, or inventory management? Where will
you be printing the labels – in a central location, or distributed across
a LAN or WAN? Will the equipment need to withstand tough conditions
such as extreme temperatures or rough handling? How long will the barcode
labels need to last – days, months or years? Will you be printing complex,
2D barcodes now or in the future? Finally, consider your expected label
volume and frequency – will you print continuously or intermittently?
Barcode printing technologies
1. Direct thermal barcode printers: Sharp print quality for short-term
label use. Direct thermal printers are ideal for shipping labels
and receipts. They offer the ability to print single labels as well
as batches that include different sizes. Since there is no ink, toner
or ribbon to replenish, they are relatively easy to maintain. These
printers are suitable for industrial applications. However, the labels
they produce are best for indoor use, where labels are not exposed to
heat, direct sunlight or abrasion.
2. Thermal transfer: High-definition barcode printing for long-life
applications
Thermal transfer printers use ribbons to achieve long lasting, high-definition
barcodes, text and graphics. If your barcodes need to last for months
or years, such as product labels, thermal transfer is the way to go.
As with direct thermal, transfer printers allow batch or single printing
with no waste of media.
