Printer Support

BarTender Software's three product editions provide full printer support for high-speed label printing as well as standard office printers, such as laser, ink-jet, dot-matrix and label printers with existing Windows drivers.

Our enhanced Windows drivers deliver access to numerous high-speed commands available in a variety of thermal label printers, but not available when using drivers from the printer manufacturers themselves. Seagull currently provides enhanced drivers for Brady, C.Itoh, cab, Citizen, DATAMAX, Datasouth, IBM, Intermec, METO, Okabe, Paxar Monarch, PRINTRONIX, Ring, SATO, System Wave, TEC, Tharo, Unimark and Zebra/Eltron. (These drivers may also be used by other Windows programs, but with performance comparable to that of standard Windows drivers.)
