Printer

• A printer is not compulusory, but is recommended.

• Update September 2009: Intermec PF4 and PF8 printers support the EPL language we use, so should also work fine)
• For networked printing you should get a Zebra printserver II or GK420TT which are much better, and keeps your default windows printer available for reports
