This is the label printer. WiP.

What hardware is this

  • Seiko SLP-650
  • 99014 Shipping Labels
  • Use 'paper size 'Shipping (SLP-SRL)

How to use

Via irc

  • Use !label

Tips for making excellent labels (tbd)

These tips are saved for posterity. For now only !label kan be used.

  • There is no grayscale, make images 1 bit color (and use floyd-steinberg (normal) dithering if needed, looks teh best :) )
  • There are a couple of previously printed labels in de homedir of user "printer" (/printerhome/ on Printer-desktop) which can easily be re-used.
  • For text only, you can use !label @ Nurdbot
