Can a Zerba Printer with a labels be used for a receipt printer

Mar 29, 2006 2 Replies

I was wonder if I could hookup a Zebra printer to print receipts in our service department.



Was hoping to print on a 4W x 5L label for receipt claim tag



This wasywe could use the label to tag the work in the service department and get rid of our old manul paper tags.



Any suggestions


I would not recommend it, but yes you can. We are using RMS with Zebra TLP

3844-Z printers as our thermal receipt printers. I belive there is little difference between these models and the 2844s... Anyway, we have to tweak the drivers just to get a decent printout for receipts, Z, and X reports. I would be happy to chare our dirver settings if you want to try it. There are some minor problems. Zebra printer are not designed to think like a reciept printer. The main issue we have found is that you cannot force the Zebra cutter to cut in the middle of a credit card reciept. At least I have not found a way... They have to tear or cut them for the customer.
