08Frequently asked questions
Do labels need a special printer?
A thermal label printer is the usual choice. Check the label size your software prints.
Can pagers work outside?
Range depends on walls and metal; test before you decide.
Will it work with our pharmacy software?
Most scanners work like a keyboard; ask your vendor about printers.
Can I add a second counter?
Yes, add another set of equipment.
