Frequently asked questions

Which printers work with the Print Bridge?

The Print Bridge works with all compatible label printers including the SATO CT4-LX, SATO CL4NX, Zebra ZT111, and many others. It supports ZPL, SBPL, EPL and other common printer languages. Contact us to confirm compatibility with your specific printer.

Do I need a Print Bridge for every printer?

Yes, each fixed printer needs its own Print Bridge for cloud connectivity. The exception is the Zebra ZQ521 mobile printer, which connects directly to the Beam app via WiFi or Bluetooth without a Print Bridge.

What does the monthly subscription include?

The €25/month subscription covers the cloud connection service, automatic updates, remote management capabilities, and technical support. Without the subscription, the Print Bridge cannot maintain its cloud connection to the Beam platform.

How difficult is the setup?

Setup takes minutes. Connect the Print Bridge to your printer via USB, connect it to your network via Ethernet, and power it on. The Bridge automatically registers with the Beam platform. No drivers, no software installation, no IT department needed.

What happens if the internet goes down?

If the internet connection is temporarily lost, the Print Bridge will reconnect automatically when the connection is restored. Print jobs sent during the outage will be queued in Beam and delivered once connectivity resumes.

Compatibility is only the beginning.

A reader’s ability to connect does not prove that every tag can be read reliably in every environment. That is why hardware, tags, products, read zones, volumes and exceptions are tested together before any performance commitment becomes part of the scope.
