Laser printers are used for printing customer invoices, service job worksheets, deposit receipts, and other full-page documents on A4 or letter-size paper. Any laser printer that is installed on your device (computer or tablet) should work with Blackpurl — the system is designed for plug-and-play devices and wireless connectivity.
​

Receipt printers are used for printing deposit receipts and customer order receipts. Blackpurl officially supports the Epson TM T88V (238), a monochrome thermal line printer (no ribbon required). In practice, any receipt printer that is installed on your device should work with Blackpurl.
​

​

Barcode scanners are used to scan part barcodes directly into Blackpurl. The following models are officially supported:

In practice, any barcode scanner that is installed on your device should work with Blackpurl. Because there are many barcode scanner models available and it is not possible to test every one, Blackpurl cannot guarantee or recommend scanners outside the supported list.
​

Important: Downloaded scanner apps will not work with Blackpurl. There is no connection between third-party scanner apps and Blackpurl, so only hardware scanners installed directly on your device should be used.
​

Blackpurl supports the following Zebra label printers:

All supported Zebra printers must be 203dpi, not 300dpi. There is typically no indication of the DPI on the manufacturer's packaging or box, so confirm the specification before purchasing.
​

The dealership is responsible for installing the printer on the relevant computer(s) and completing the setup. Use the appropriate guide for your operating system:

Recommended label size: 50mm × 28mm perforated direct thermal labels (2" × 1").
​

Blackpurl previously supported the following Dymo barcode printers:

Dymo printers are no longer recommended for the following reasons:

If you are an existing dealership still using a Dymo printer and you experience printing issues in Blackpurl, support will attempt to help you get your Dymo printer working again. However, if a resolution cannot be found, you may need to replace it with a supported Zebra printer (see the Zebra section above for supported models).
​

The dealership is responsible for installing the Dymo printer on your computer(s) and downloading the required Dymo software. The software required depends on your operating system (Windows or macOS) and your printer model. For details, see Set Up Dymo Label Printer Software for Barcode Printing.
