Use the ZM400 printer from Zebra to print bar codes and labels.

The Zebra ZM400 is part of a line of specialty printers designed to help you easily print various types of labels. Using the ZM400, you can scan bar codes with a networked RFID scanner (or other input device) and send the labels to the ZM400 print queue. The ZM400 is capable of up to 600-DPI resolution and allows you to print thermal transfer or direct thermal transfer labels. If you want to stop printing the items in the print queue, you can pause the printer and purge the remaining processes in the queue.
