Receipt and label printers
Receipt and label printers are peripheral devices used for printing product labels, credit card slips, and customer receipts. Printer connected to other hardware devices via cable or wireless connection is one of the components of Point-Of-Sale System.
- Types of receipt and label printers
Receipt and label printers use one of the following technologies:
- Dot Matrix (impact printers) use pins installed on the print head. These pins produce a series of dots which form letters and/or numbers on paper. Impact printers usually print in black and red and can print graphics.
- Direct thermal printers work through interaction between the thermal head and thermal paper and do not use ink or ribbon.
- Thermal transfer printers work by applying heat to the ribbon, which melts onto the material to form an image.
- Ink Jet printers shoot drops of ink onto the printing paper to produce an image
