Review on Receipt Printer and Thermal Printer

Receipt printers (also known as Bill Printers) are an important part of a point of sale (POS) system, used to print orders and customer receipts. Whether you run a retail store, restaurant or even have a small business receipt printers are a good way to track orders and print customer receipts.

There are three different types of bill/POS printers depending on the printing method namely thermal based, dot-matrix based and inkjet based printers. Thermal bill printers are popular for their ease of printing, noiseless operation and fast printing speed. Dot-matrix printers are popular due to their economical prices. If your company does not have many receipts/bills to print, then inkjet office printers can also be used for billing purposes. Some critical factors to consider before buying a POS printer include printing speed (no. of bills per minute), printing width, manual/auto-cutter mode and type of PC connectivity mode (serial, USB, parallel, Ethernet). It is recommended that billing printers with battery back-up be bought if there are frequent power cuts.

These receipt printers & thermal printers work on both direct transfer (in which there is no ribbon usage; the heat from the print head melts the wax on the bill paper thus producing the contents of the bill) as well as thermal transfer where the head from the print head melts wax first from a ribbon which then settles on the paper on which they have been printed. Hence the name Thermal Printers is used interchangeably with a receipt printer.
