Managing multiple label printers on one computer
- Please reference our multi-label printer configuration article before purchasing a second printer for one workstation.
Purchasing a new thermal label printer
- If you have a thermal label printer that’s more than 5 years old or is near that age, we highly recommend purchasing a new one to mitigate any potential end of life and software compatibility issues.
- If you're looking to purchase a new thermal label printer and are based in the United States, our hardware partner, Shop POS Portal, is a good resource.
- If you purchase a secondhand thermal label printer you run the risk of receiving a device that has had custom code loaded onto it. This is not something SimpleConsign can fix and it may cause a supported printer model to become incompatible.
No access to supported thermal label printing
- If you're in a pinch and don't have immediate access to a supported thermal label printer, you can utilize desktop printing with a standard desktop printer and labels.
