Label printer suggestions and Label print formats

I am just starting to work on printing of part labels. I am wondering if there is any recommendations on Label printers that work well with EAM & label formats - options to modify the formats.

We do have the bar code module as well but not sure how that works yet.

Thanks in Advance

Keith

We generally really like the Zebra printers with a continuous feed. How are you planning on printing the barcodes and when are you planning printing them?

I was thinking of printing when we receive the parts. We receive in ERPLN which then makes a receipt in EAM via ION connection. So the part transaction to get it to EAM stock gets done in LN and then our maintenance group would pick up the parts/ put the label on them and put them away. Ideally I would get the shipping person to put the labels on but that will be a challenge as they do not work for maintenance and that would add a step.

I was also thinking it might be good to have an easy way to print a label on demand. I have not found where that is in EAM yet.
