What are the Advantages of Barcode Printers?

The use of barcodes has been increasing day by day in most of the industries. Because of the advantages of the barcodes, they are widely spread. So, the use of barcode printers has been increased moderately in order to meet their services. They are many types of printers depending on the requirement. Some of the printers are laser printers, inkjet printers, thermal printers etc.

A barcode printer is used for printing the labels and these labels are used for attaching on the product. Before the shipment of the products is done the labels are attached to the products. Some of the advantages of using barcode printers are:

• They are used for controlling the losses of the companies.
• They are used for tracking the assets of the company.
• Although, the computer printers are used for producing barcodes, the usage of separate barcode printers will help a lot in printing the symbologies correctly. So, the use of barcode label printers will be efficient for the companies which need barcode labels.
• These printers saves time by preventing the errors. Frequency of error occurrence is less when compared to the other types of printers.
• High quality labels are produced using this barcode printers.
• The barcode label printers come in different types like analog, digital and also in computer specific programs.
• The important advantage of the barcode printer is that they can be easily repaired and the life span of the barcode printer will be long.
• Some of the barcode printers will perform specific tasks while some of them are used for multitasking which are beneficial to the customers.

So, one gets many benefits by above advantages of using barcode printers.

Why Direct Thermal Printers Will Save Your Business Boatloads of Money Long Term

The thermal printer is the most common type of printer used for creating barcode labels. There are two types of thermal printers: thermal transfer and direct thermal. The thermal transfer printer works by using heat to transfer the ink from the ribbon to the printer and, thus, creating an image on the paper.

Another type of thermal printer is the direct thermal printer. Just as the thermal transfer printer, it uses heat to create the label. The only difference is that it doesn't require a ribbon. Instead, it uses a special thermal paper. The printer works by burning the thermo-sensitive part of the paper, which results in the formation of an image on the paper.

Direct thermal label printers are not just used for printing barcodes. Direct thermal label printers can be synchronized with point of sale programs, which allow them to print other information on the labels such as model number, price, product description, and more. The printers are not limited to printing labels, either. They can also print tags, coupons, and even wristbands.

Cost efficiency is the greatest asset of the direct thermal label printer. An advantage of the direct thermal printer is that it can print labels both individually and by batch, whereas other printers can only print by batch or sheet. This reduces, if not eliminates, the usual tendency of printers of creating extra labels and, therefore, waste valuable amounts of supplies.

The printer is also able to cut the cost of supplies since it does not need ribbons, toners, or inks. Not only does this cut the cost, it also cuts the time spent in the ordering and replacing of the ribbon. The only material that needs to be replenished is the special thermal paper, and this paper is more inexpensive compared to the commonly used 8-½-by-11 inch three-part forms.

Another advantage of these printers is that they can print smaller labels without compromising the content, speed, and quality of the print. Companies can save money on supplies using smaller, higher resolution labels at a lower cost. The great thing about this is that the direct thermal printer prints with high density and high resolution resulting in a high-quality image; therefore, there is no need to reduce the content of the label. Direct thermal printers are also capable of processing a variety of data without affecting the speed of printing, so a larger quantity of labels can be printed as well.

The one downside to direct thermal printers is that the initial cost of the printer is slightly more expensive that most other types of printers, however it is still the most efficient in terms of quality and cost in the long term due to the savings realized on not having to purchase toners, ink cartridges or print ribbons associated with other types of printers.

In summary, investing in a direct thermal printer greatly reduces the overall cost of supplies while maintaining the quality of the labels.

One of the most popular thermal barcode label printers on the market is the Zebra TLP 2844. If you'd like more information on this printer, please visit http://www.scribd.com/doc/31558240/Zebra-Printer-TLP-2844-com

How To Print Barcode On Zebra Printer Using ZPL

Here we will discuss on how to automatically print Barcodes on a zebra printer from Oracle concurrent program.

Below are the 3 approaches that we tried and was successful with the third approach.
1) Print Labels on a Zebra printer using BI Publisher

The first approach we tried was to print barcodes using BI(formerly XML) Publisher. The report generates a PDF output and should print directly on a Zebra printer using PASTA driver. For some reason the report was not printing directly on a printer. The PDF opened in window and printed separately/manually using Windows driver was working fine but not meeting our requirement of automatic printing. Hence we had to try second approach.

2) Print Labels using Zebra Enterprise Connector Solution

The Zebra Enterprise Connector Solution is designed to streamline the printing
process for companies using ERP systems such as Oracle BI Publisher. The Zebra
Enterprise Connector Solution helps to lower middleware costs, overhead, and
pre-printer licensing fees. It can be used with an unlimited number of
Zebra ZPL-II printers without additional per-printer licensing fees. We didn't do much research on this as were looking for an approach with minimal cost. More details on this is available at the website of Zebra

3) Print Labels on Zebra printers using Zebra Programming Language(ZPL)

The second and successful approach was to print labels using ZPL. A text output with all the zebra codes was created and which would ultimately print Barcode images on a printer. A normal regular lap command for printing text is used to print over Zebra Printers.
Below is an example of how to print Barcodes
