Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer printing?
Direct thermal printers use heat-sensitive labels and do not require ink or ribbon, making them ideal for short-term labels like shipping labels.
Thermal transfer printers use a ribbon to produce more durable labels that resist heat, moisture, and fading, making them better for long-term labeling.

Are these products compatible with my existing software?
Most barcode scanners work as keyboard wedges, meaning they input data as if typed on a keyboard, making them compatible with virtually any software. Check the "Compatible with" section on each product for specific platform support (Windows, iOS, Android, Linux).
