Installing the IP300 / IP600 Driver

Use this driver for Brady Workstation and LabelMark.

We have found this driver also works well with Bartender, however we do not actively test to verify functionality of Brady drivers with 3rd party software. If you're using CodeSoft, use the internal driver: CodeSoft - Configuring Internal Printer Drivers.

Note: Regardless of communication interface type used (USB or Network) see the last step at the end to enable bidirectional communication once the print driver is installed. This only needs to be done once.

Enable Bidirectional Communication Access (Bidi)

See this article to ensure bidirectional communication is enabled: Printer Drivers - Enable Driver Security Permissions.

This only needs to be done once per driver install.  This allows our software to talk to the print driver, which reads the RFID Tag on most Brady Labels (not metalized labels as metal interferes with the RFID). The driver reads the tag then tells our software what labels are currently loaded to accurately load page size and sensor type for calibration.
