RE: Intermec label printer replacement -- MIDRANGE-L

Yes - that's what is there now. Maybe I should look to an Ethernet
solution now. But, I'm more concerned about not having to change the
"programming language" which the printer uses.

I believe you could do so with a I-O 4440TX barcode interface, but do
you actually have twinax cabling?

Bryan,

I have 2 unused Zebra printers in storage. I wonder if either of them
could have the "twinax" feature added? They are model 105SL and S400
respectively

Don,
Buy a Zebra with an external ZebraNet print server. I maintain over 40
Zebra barcode printers and they are real workhorses. None of them are
under maintenance agreement even though many of them are on production
lines. Unlike laser printers, I don't consider the bar code printers to
have an end of life. With the correct media and ribbons, you should get
a decade or two out of a Zebra "S" series printer.
If you'd like to pick my brain regarding Zebra bar code printers, feel
free to call me!

I have an Intermec 4400 printer with the twinax feature. We print bar
coded labels from an RPG program. This printer is at "end of life" as
far as a maintenance agreement goes. The printer is failing, and I will
be looking into cost effective solutions.

All ideas welcomed!
