Label Printers Question

[ricco]

What do you mean the feeler? Is it the automatic peeler? Label printer does not need their own software to run, but they do need driver. In my case, I will need to select the label printer on SambaPOS, then printer template will be set up as RAW printer (this setup isn’t easy as ticket printer).

I’m using Xprinter XP-350B, it’s the cheapest label printer (about US$70) among others (new from US$200+). But this printer is using modified TSPL language, not all feature able to be used. Here is my label looks like:

Mark has made a tutorial for setting up a label printer,

Setting SambaPOS to print to a label printer is just the same as any receipt printer (printer, printer template, etc.). However most label printers I have used don’t use the same ESC/POS command language (try first though - if it does accept ESC/POS commands your life will be far easier!), so you may have to read the command manual for your printer and send the correct commands to create the layout you need. Make sure you use the Raw Printer type if sending your own commands.

EDIT:

This is how my printer template (using TSPL language):
