Hey y’all
I am going to be sourcing 30 printers soon. Each one to have its own network address and run on TCP driver. The “Labels” are generated using the reporting module and could be any format that module outputs I suppose. They are very simple and just have standard code 39 barcodes and some text inside lines and whatnot.
Since we are getting so many, one of our biggest deciding factors is price. These will be in a pretty clean environment and print no more than a couple of dozen lables a day. They also need to be direct thermal.
I would like to send the print jobs using the java socket method or over Http post or whatever doesn’t matter.
I am considering a unit like this: https://www.barcodesinc.com/wasp/part-633808403591.htm
that is only $206
But, I am not sure that it needs to route through a computer or not? or can printer software run on server?
Could a guy go from the Serial port to an ethernet adapter and send the print jobs to that IP address?
Appreciate any help
So what are you guys using?
