All Books Supplies & Recommended Vendors

PC (Windows Computer) - Most Windows computers made in the last 5 years are capable of running Neatoscan. For optimal performance, a PC with an SSD, at least 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB of storage. Neatoscan will only run on full versions of Windows. (If you are viewing reports in Excel, 16 GB of RAM is recommended)

Zebra ZP450 & GK420d - We supply drivers and are able to provide support for setting up the Zebra ZP450 and GK420d printers, but other Zebra Label printers may be compatible with Neatoscan.

Star TSP 700 - This printer is unique in that it has the ability to switch out the port type. So you can buy this printer with a serial port, parallel port, or USB port.

⚠️ Our software will only work with the USB port model!

USB Barcode Scanner - Most USB barcode scanners will be compatible with Neatoscan as long as they can be programmed to add a carriage return after every scan.

USB Scale - Most USB shipping scales will be compatible with Neatoscan. However, we recommend DYMO’s M25 or S100 scales the most as it guarantees compatibility.

Receipt Paper - Any thermal receipt paper that is 3 18” wide will be compatible with the Star TSP700II and our templates.

4x6 Shipping Labels - Make sure you purchase direct thermal labels, not thermal transfer.

FBA labels - These labels are 1” x 2 5/8” thermal labels and can be found on Amazon. Make sure you purchase direct thermal labels, not thermal transfer labels.
