Printer Support

BarTender'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.)
