Supported Hardware (printers, cash drawers, barcode scanners, etc.)

Receipt Printers

Star Micronics TSP 100 futurePRNT printers are highly recommended for  low-cost, fast, and reliable thermal receipt printers.  These black and  white printers are PC and Mac compatible, print direct on thermal paper with no inks necessary, and come in black or “putty” color enclosures.  In addition, they can also be modified to have an auto-tear bar which slices receipt prints for the user, rather than tearing by pulling against a small blade bar.  Thermal printers from other TSP models or other manufacturers should be compatible.  Again, we recommend testing against an InBloom demo version.

Receipt Printers:
Star Micronics (Tear Bar): TSP113U or TSP113U-GRY
Star Micronics (Auto-Cutter): TSP-143U or TSP-143U-GRY

Laser or Inkjet Document Printers

The Brother 5170DNLT or 5250DNT Laser Printers offer affordable network-ready laser printers with both two-sided printing and two paper trays included.  In addition, we also recommend the HP LaserJet P2015DN Printer. While we recommend these speci?c models, just about any inkjet or laser printer can be easily connected to InBloom.  You can use these printers for printing contracts, checks, various reports, sheets of mailing labels and more.  If you plan on using or purchasing another kind of laser printer, it is recommended that the printer have a multi-purpose tray of up to 50 pages, which can be used for printing checks more easily.

Label Printers

InBloom officially supports the DYMO LabelWriter 330, 400, and 450 printers (Turbo models also) for adhesive product labels to be used as price tags.  Currently, label formats #30336 (1” x 2.125”),  #30330, #30323, and more are included in the InBloom label templates.  You can browse the available formats in the Printer Settings tab (Main Menu > Show All > Settings > Printing Settings tab)

If you have a particular printer in mind, that is not mentioned here, try it with a demo version of InBloom. or email us at support@inbloomsoftware.com

Cash Drawers

Currently, InBloom requires that you connect a cash drawer to thru a Star Micronics thermal receipt printer.  (You can connect cash drawers without a Star Micronics printer but it can require expensive 3rd party add-ons to InBloom)

Drawer Models:

APG Vasario Cash Drawer VB320-BG1915

Barcode Scanners

We recommend the Metrologic Voyager CG barcode scanner for use with InBloom. Any barcode scanner that can be configured to add a carriage return (the equivalent of hitting the “Return” or “Enter” key on the keyboard) is usable with the InBloom Sales module.  Check with your scanner’s documentation to verify that it comes with driver software that can manage this con?guration.
