Which thermal printers do we support?

Which printer do we support?

Sato WS4 series printers are those we primarily support. The Information below on suppliers and stock sizes are helpful. Additionally, we do have some support for Datamax and ZPL printers, typically the Zebra brand. We also allow for some ‘generic’ output files from Freman, however we do not actively promote other branded printers or imply they will be sure to work.

Thermal Label Printer Solution

Sato provides a range of label printers, which work very efficiently with Freman.
With the WS4 series of label printers being the most common label printer this is a great choice for printing labels out of Freman.
