Barcode label printers print visual codes onto paper tags or labels. They are used to label items for stores, shipping, or storage. Some models connect to a computer for input, while others have built-in keys that can be programmed with product data. Most barcodes print a series of parallel lines corresponding to specific characters, although some codes also use dots, circles and other common patterns
Input: Choose a barcode label printer that connects to a computer for easier text input. This will also allow you to choose between standard coding systems such as UPC or EAN. For portable models, look for one with programmable number codes that you can use in place of long product labels.
Printing speed: Choose a barcode label printer that prints about 12 inches per second on standard label widths. Higher resolutions have slower printing rates, so choose one with selectable resolutions so that you can set your own speed. Look for one with an onboard memory to cut down on transfer time.
