Selection of
Thermal Receipt Printers
Our line includes direct thermal printers; a low- to medium-resolution printer that uses a type of coated paper that darkens when heat is applied to it. The paper is passed by a line of heating elements that burn dots onto the paper. This is typically used in bar code
thermal receipt printers and other small specialty printers. It was widely used in early fax machines.
Some models are designed to print bar code labels and other point-of-sale tickets and tags. The unit handles media up to 4.6x12" and thermal wax transfer capability can be field installable.
We also stock a full line of dot matrix printers; a printer that uses hammers and a ribbon to form images out of dots. The common desktop dot matrix printer, also known as a serial dot matrix printer,
different from a thermal receipt printer, uses one or two columns of dot hammers that are moved across the paper. The more dot hammers used, the higher the resolution of the printed image. For example, nine pins produces draft quality, and 24-pin heads produce typewriter quality output. Speeds range from 200 to 400 cps, which is about 90 to 180 lpm.
A line matrix printer is a type of dot matrix printer that attains speeds up to 1,400 lpm and is used in datacenters and industrial environments (see line matrix printer ).
Dot matrix printers are widely used to print multipart forms, address and diskette labels. The tractor and sproket mechanisms used in these printers handle thick media much better than laser and ink jet
printers and thermal receipt preinters. Dot matrix printers print columns of dots in a serial fashion. The more dot hammers (pins), the better looking the printed results.
Dot matrix printers fitted with a tractor feed are commonly used for printing continuous multipart forms and mailing and diskette labels. The tractor feed contains a sprocket that grabs the perforated holes at both sides of the form and pulls it through uniformly.
