Barcode Printers:
Features and Considerations
SageData is based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
The first of many considerations might be wether a barcode printer is required. For
many fixed asset management applications, pre-printed barcodes can be provided - avoiding
the expense of printer purchase and the requirement for maintenance and occasional
trouble shooting. Contact labels@sagedata.com for further information.
But for some applications, demand printing is required. In this case, the next
consideration is the volume of labels. Simple basic printers are available at low cost,
and they may be suitable for low volume applications, but where any sort of volume is
required, a heavy duty industrial printer is recommended. These last many years, and the
cost over time is minimal. Contact info@sagedata.com for more information.
