March 7, 200520 yr Newbies Any suggestions for a label printer that works great with FMP 6? Also, any idea how to print not just the address, but an address bar code as well? Thanks. Jim Z.
March 7, 200520 yr Jim: You can try the Dymo 330 series printers, which are fairly cheap, but which also suffer from a lousy case design, which means they're not the most sturdy things in the world. If this is just for a non-industrial type of setup, that should be fine. Otherwise, I'd go with a SATO; something like the CT400, which is an absolute horse, but which costs a lot, and which is not OSX native, and so requires a lot of patience to get up and running. As far as an address bar code, do you mean the post office bar code, or your own proprietary one? I know the USPS bar code font is out there somewhere, but I don't know what data they put in that line. As far as doing your own proprietary system, you can get a free 3of9 barcode font, and put whatever data you want in there... -Stanley
