What Type of Printer is a Receipt Printer? FAVORPOS
Choosing the right receipt printer for your POS system is crucial for efficient operations. This article clarifies the types of receipt printers available, highlighting their key features and functionalities to help you make an informed decision.
Types of Receipt Printers
* Thermal Printers: These are the most common type in modern POS systems. They use heat to print images onto specially coated thermal paper.
* Direct Thermal: The simplest and most cost-effective type; the heat directly affects the paper. (Source: Epson, Star Micronics product information)
* Thermal Transfer: Uses an ink ribbon, resulting in more durable prints but higher running costs. (Source: Epson, Star Micronics product information)
* Impact Printers: These printers use a print head that physically strikes the paper, creating an impression. They're durable and can print on multiple copies but are slower and louder than thermal printers. (Source: Wikipedia - Impact Printer)
* Dot Matrix Printers: While less common now, these printers use tiny pins to create dots on the paper. They’re known for multi-copy capabilities but are slow and noisy. (Source: Wikipedia - Dot Matrix Printer)
Choosing the Right Receipt Printer for Your POS System
* Consider your budget: Thermal printers are generally the most affordable.
* Think about print volume: High-volume businesses might benefit from more durable thermal transfer printers.
* Evaluate print quality: Thermal transfer produces sharper images than direct thermal.
* Assess noise levels: Thermal printers are significantly quieter than impact or dot matrix printers.
* Factor in paper costs: Direct thermal is cheaper in the long run but the paper is more sensitive to heat and light.
Key Features to Consider
* Print Speed: Measured in lines per minute (LPM) or characters per second (CPS).
* Connectivity: USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth are common options.
* Paper Roll Size: Ensure compatibility with your available paper rolls.
* Auto-cutter: A built-in cutter for easy receipt dispensing.
* Durability: Impact printers offer the best durability; thermal transfer offers better durability than direct thermal.
