Ticket and Report Printers
We recommend using HP Laser printers for speed but literally any type printer will work. If you plan to purchase a new printer we prefer any model of HP printer as they have been the best performing manufacturer of those we’ve tested. HP Deskjet/Inkjet printers are inexpensive and reasonably fast. Brother laser printers have a non-standard page size and are NOT recommended. Dot matrix or tractor fed printers are also not recommended due to slow printing speed with windows applications. USB connection printers can be used.
Label Printers

Brother QL500 |
Dymo Labelwriter Twin Turbo |
Zebra LP2844 |
Due to the way windows prints it is no longer possible to use a tractor fed label printer to print single labels. A dedicated on-demand label printer must be used. For this purpose we’ve designed our software to use the Brother QL500 label printer although other manufacturers like Dymo work fine.
The Brother manufacturer has not created a print driver that allows you to share their label printers on a network so if you have multiple workstations you wish to share a label printer with you will need to use a Dymo printer.
If you would like to use the jewelry tag feature you will have to purchase a Dymo brand label printer like the Labelwriter series or the Zebra LP2844. Dymo offers a label printer called the Labelwriter Twin Turbo that holds two different label sizes at the same time so it’s a great solution. Regular labels can be loaded on one side and jewelry labels on the other so one printer is used for both label types. However due to feed problems with jewelry labels on the Dymo printers we recommend using the Zebra LP2844 as a dedicated jewelry tag printer.
Label Supplies:
Regular labels for the Brother QL-500 printer – Part # DK1201
Regular labels for the Dymo series printers – Part # 30252
Jewelry labels for the Dymo series printers – Part # 30299
Jewelry labels for the Zebra series printers – Part # 8000D
Receipt Printer

Star TSP143u |
We support the use of thermal receipt printers for renewal, redemption, purchase, sale, layaway and check settlement transactions. These are very popular with customers since the paper is small enough to fit in a wallet or purse. This type of printing also saves you money in paper and toner costs. If you would like to use this feature you will need a Star TSP-143U with auto-cutter and 3 1/8" thermal roll paper.
Forms
You may use full page blank paper, half sheet perforated blank paper and many Burrell forms. If you have a specific Burrell form you would like to use that we don't already support, you will need to let us know to incorporate it in our software.. If you would like pre-printed form samples call Mark at Burrell Printing (512) 990-1188.
