Release Time:2013-06-27

Label printer is one of the necessary tools in the manufacturing industry. The barcode and label of each commodity are unique, which is convenient for warehouse management and establishes the first step of brand road. So how can an enterprise choose a suitable label barcode printer? The following is compiled by Hongxing Yongli [www.xingyongli.com] to provide reference:

Before purchasing the label bar code printer, the enterprise should first understand the technical parameters and performance of the machine, as well as after-sales service (because the printer is a consumable, consider the consumables such as print head and carbon tape that need to be replaced)

1. Printing width: indicates the maximum width that the printer can print and also represents the grade of the printer. Generally speaking, the printing width has several choices from 3 inches to 8 inches. The printing width is the decisive factor in selecting the printer. Users should choose the printer suitable for themselves according to their actual needs.

2. Printing accuracy: The higher the accuracy of the printer, the clearer the printing. Now the highest printing accuracy is 600dpi, while 200dpi or 300dpi can meet the daily needs of the industry. Users do not need to invest too much in pursuit of high printing accuracy.

Printing speed: Fast speed is the biggest advantage of barcode printers for ordinary printers. Its speed can reach 12 inches/second. For the same machine, the faster the speed, the lower the accuracy. So users must adjust the machine themselves to achieve the perfect combination of speed and precision.

4. Printer interface: The general interface is parallel port, and now more and more printers use USB interface.

Enterprises in the selection of label bar code printer, should also consider the following issues:

Number of prints: If you need to print more than 1000 labels per day, you need a solid, high-volume industrial-grade printer with a metal housing.

2. Size of printer label: General barcode printer can print 4 "x 6" label, which is in line with the specifications of current freight label. You can also print different sizes of labels according to your needs, such as printing wider labels.

3, label bar code printer label content: if you only need to print bar code and text, the general bar code printer can be competent. But if you need to print different barcodes (such as item numbers) or text (such as shipping labels) on each label, and you don't want to stop printing halfway, you need a printer with a 32-bit processor, which can greatly improve production efficiency.

4, bar code printer label quality: label printer printing resolution is generally divided into 203dpi,300dpi,600dpi.

Warm reminder: when the customer has clearly defined their needs, it is much more convenient to select the suitable label barcode printer. The above is a text description. If you are looking for a suitable one, please consult our online customer service on the right.
