Printers

DYMO LabelWriter	The DYMO LabelWriter 4XL printer is an economical printer with a simple setup process. DYMOs self-calibrate, but do require DYMO-approved label rolls, otherwise, they will not print properly.
Zebra	Zebra is arguably the leader in label printing, and they provide many models to suit different business needs. The Zebra ZD420, Zebra GC420d ZP-450, and Zebra GK420d (discontinued) are great for small-to-medium volume printing needs, while the Zebra ZT410 is a great fit for higher volume shippers. While Zebra printers have a more involved setup process and carry a slightly higher price tag than some other thermal label printer options, they more than makeup for it in a high level of customization and powerful, precise printing. Zebra printers also support both fanfold and rolled labels.
Brother	The Brother QL-1100 is a new model thermal label printer with a fast print speed and high dpi. Currently, this model is only supported on Windows when used with ShipStation. We will update this information when support for MacOS is available.
CITIZEN	Compatible with Windows/PC and macOS, CITIZEN printers combine performance and reliability designed to offer easy media loading, simple setup, and cost-effective printing. The small footprint of the CL-E300 makes it a perfect printer for tight spaces. With an on-board Ethernet LAN interface as standard together with USB and Serial interfaces, the CL-E300 is a champion for all applications. The CL-S700II is more suitable for high-volume shippers. Citizen recommends this ShopPOSPortal page for ordering details, and we have attached spec sheets for both printers at the bottom of this page.

*Note: eBay is a good source for a used thermal printer for a reasonable price (often under $100).

*It is not supported to attach a thermal printer to a serial port.

Unsupported Printers With ShipStation Connect

Certain printers and configurations are not currently supported when printing via ShipStation Connect.

ShipStation Support cannot troubleshoot issues that occur when using these printers with ShipStation Connect:

Wireless and network printers. Printers should be connected to the printer workstation(s) viaUSB, though some wireless or network printers may work.
Rollo label printers.

These limitations are specific to printing with ShipStation Connect. You may still use the PDF or View in Browsermethod to print documents to these printers from your ShipStation account. The label layout, printer preferences, and document options still apply regardless of your print method.
