Dear Dave, Most of the major thermal printer manufacturers (for example but not a complete list - Datamax, Intermec, IBM/Printronix, Intellibar, Intermec, SATO, Zebra/Eltron) now offer reliable internal or external Ethernet adapters for their complete line of thermal printers. The thermal printer niche still includes the language understood by the thermal printer as part of the value add proposition for purchasing the device. Thus for example if you create an application in-house to speak to a Zebra printer, it will typically not make any sense to a thermal printer from a manufacturer other than Zebra and sometimes it will unfortunately not make any sense to a different model of thermal printer from the same manufacturer. This lack of common language tends to be the most frustrating aspect of purchasing a thermal printer because you sometimes need to change vendors to get an improvement in performance or functionality as your business application matures. Supply Chain Systems Magazine (formerly idsystems) published a good article on using Bar Code Printers in the Enterprise in their Jan. 2001 issue. They have it online at the following URL: http://www.idsystems.com/reader/2001/2001_01/no0101/no0101.htm HTH Best Regards, /Paul -- Paul Tykodi National Product Manager LCI-Intermate US, Inc. p: 603.431.0606 x115 f: 603.436.6432 paul@intermate-us.com www.intermate.com >From: "Leland, David" <dleland@Harter.com> >To: "'MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com'" <MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com> >Subject: Ethernet attached Barcode printer >Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2002 14:47:09 -0600 >Reply-To: midrange-l@midrange.com > >Anyone using or have experience with an Ethernet attached Thermal Transfer >printer (for printing barcodes)?
