UPS / IMS Thermal Label Printer?
ZooCity:
I recall someone mentioned using their UPS thermal printer for printing out IMS labels for ink containers. What model is compatible this way?
I'm seeing this one from Zebra:

and then a cheaper one without the "e" at the end of the model name. The rest look like overkill.
I'd like to hook one of these up to a netbook or a pc laptop to run IMS, print ink labels and then plug the netbook into a shipping scale for outbound UPS.
squeegee:
that might have been me, Zebra Eltron 2844 CTP, 4 x 6 labels, works out well for us.
ZooCity:
Awesome, I'll check one out. Thx Squeegee!
Follow up: what do you use for your shipping scale and what windows os on the computer?
Oh, and I picked up a usb to serial rs-232 but I imagine a computer with an actual serial port would work better.
bimmridder:
I am too. I'll let you know tomorrow what I have.

No problem, glad to help!
I use XP, connection for the printer is USB. I'm thinking about a second printer and saw some reconditioned (same model) for under a C-note. For a scale, just a Uline special, manually entering the shipping weights, makes me wonder about an integrated scale and whether that would be a time saver. At least as integrated there can be no error from data entry or personnel. Just this week had a claim for a missing 35 XXL from an order, customer claims they didn't get them yet they received the correct # if boxes and the weight of the shirts was spot on per the shipment weight (still not sure what happened), let me know what you find for a scale.
