Backfeed

Print 4x6 shipping labels and your own PDFs and images from your Mac, iPhone or iPad straight to a Zebra thermal printer. You don't need a driver. Backfeed also sets up, calibrates and troubleshoots the printer, and that part is free. FREE, WITH NO ACCOUNT • Add a Printer walks you through it: it finds Zebra ZD printers on your network, sets up a new one over Bluetooth and puts it on your Wi-Fi, or adds one by its address • Shows live status: ready, out of paper, head open, paused • Calibrates to the labels you have loaded, and reads the label size from the printer's gap sensor • Print Settings: darkness, print speed, tear off or peel off, and media type, with Undo • A test label that fits the labels you have loaded: edge marks and a ruler show whether it's lined up, a solid band shows print quality, and it lists the printer's model, connection, firmware and settings in plain words • Fixes common problems: clears stuck jobs, reboots the printer, resets print geometry settings with one tap, switches a printer back to ZPL, and restores printer defaults while keeping Wi-Fi • For technicians: an advanced console for raw ZPL and SGD commands BACKFEED LOCAL: ONE-TIME PURCHASE Print your own files over your local network, for good. • Open a PDF or image in Backfeed, use Open With, or drag it onto the Mac window • A 4x6 label PDF from your shipping software prints at full size on a 4x6 label • A letter-size page with a 4x6 label on it prints just the label, at full size • The preview shows exactly what the print head will print, at your label's size • It needs no account, and nothing leaves your network BACKFEED CLOUD: SUBSCRIPTION Print to your printers from anywhere. • The printer connects out to the Backfeed relay, so you don't need a VPN or port forwarding • Includes everything in Backfeed Local, for as long as you subscribe • Plans for 1 printer, 5 printers, or up to 25 • 14-day free trial for eligible new subscribers • Export or delete your cloud data from inside the app ONE PURCHASE, EVERY DEVICE Backfeed runs natively on Mac, iPhone and iPad.
