Can you merge info from excel to print the badges? We are making name tags w/ schedules on the back. Trying to figure out the best printer for this.

The printer does not come with software. You need to purchase badge printing software which can be as low as $50.00 up to $2500.00. It took me three days to figure out which software would meet our needs. Just make sure you by software that will allow you import more than 100 records and will accept or link to excel.

I would recommend a database software like Asure ID Express. This would allow you to create a template with fixed and variable fields. From there you would be able to import your Excel data to those fields for printing.

The printer itself is amazing. Very fast and the print quality is very good.!!!!!

I think it comes with drivers and some excel spreadsheets as templates. I did not use the spreadsheets. ANY software that can print to a windows printer can print to this.

Nope. You can create those with a playbook type app, or with Excel/Word, etc...

I think that you should contact Office Ally, maybe they have a tech that can help you align the form properly with your printer. We went through the same situation in our office, we use two different printers and each one was unaligned in different places. I called our database techs and they help me aligned each one of the printers to our CMS forms. I've been using the forms from this vender for a while now and they work great!

Hi; we use a Zebra 2844 via Endicia`s Dazzle program & do our pick-ups from Fillz inventory platform. Never tried excel or word for a printing base.

Yes of course, it is not really different than regular printer, it just prints on ID card instead of paper. You just need to make sure that you select the right size on the spreadsheet.

I can print on Avery Business Cards by filling the tray with paper and then feeding one sheet at a time on top. Will not print from bottom of tray or part full. Hope this helps.

I'm confident that it would work swimmingly. I use Excel to print a custom label for the work we do.

Yes you can. At my office we are all networked together, so we can all use each others printers.

Well, these are just the magnets, but where I work, they have a program that we type the name we want and it prints it on special stickers. Other than that, you could go buy some blank address style labels to type out the name to stick to your own badge thing.

We printed business-card-size name tags, and then used good Scotch wide mailing tape on both sides to "laminate" the name tags, and then trim closely. Then we stuck them to the metal plate (not the magnet side) that comes with the name badges using the attached peel-off double-stick tape. Works great. To change out the names and reuse, you could use additional double-stick tape to attach new name badge to the metal plate. Need good double stick, may want to investigate various 3M double stick tape options.

If you don't change the information on the screen, you can just print successive labels as you wish. You have to print them one at a time, but you do not have to retype the information.

Generating bar codes depends on your software. Currently we are using the same printer for printing our Fedex shipping labels without any problem.

Hello, Has anyone figured out how to print pics with the date on them? This is important to me since I don't remember things as easily as before. I looked in the manual and don't see it referenced. Thanks so much!

I have an HP officejet 4500 and the labels didn't consistently feed into the printer. I eventually printed them using a regular office copying machine.

I have not tried to print labels on my printer. I have used heavier than normal paper (not cardstock) and had no problems. My suggestion is definitely to buy high quality labels and sometimes they have smaller packages of labels so you can test it out. Over the years I have used various different types of printers (Ink Jet and Laser) and have not had a problem with printing labels. Have you checked with or emailed Dell?

This is only the printer. You'll need to purchase software to design the card, printer ribbons, PVC cards, cleaning supplies, and any other badge accessories for wearing the cards.
