Micro Printer Classification

According to the printing principle: pin type (subdivided into character wheel type, shuttle type dot matrix type, 9-pin dot matrix type, 24-pin dot matrix type), thermal type (subdivided into column type thermal type, line type heat) Sensitive), inkjet, thermal transfer, laser (less of the latter two types of printing).

According to the application: Since the micro-printer is widely used in various industries, it is divided into ECR (Efficient Consumer Response) in the financial retail industry, POS, ticketing machine in the transportation industry, and queuing machine in the service industry.

According to the communication method: wired communication (serial port, parallel port, USB or network port), wireless communication (using IrDA and Bluetooth technology).

According to mobility: desktop and handheld (portable) machines, desktops are generally powered by AC, faster; while handhelds use lower voltages and slower speeds.

According to the power supply points: direct AC power supply, external adapter, battery (lithium battery and ordinary battery).

According to the paper width: Micro printers use continuous paper such as paper roll or sprocket paper. The paper width can be applied to 44mm, 58mm, 76~80mm, and 100mm or more.

According to the place of production: domestic and imported (mostly also in domestic production).

According to the structure: the whole machine type, the movement type, the movement controller separate type. The movement is suitable for use with other integrated systems, such as self-service products such as ATM and KOISK.

According to the speed: thermal printers are generally low speed below 100mm / s, medium speed in 100 ~ 200mm / s, high speed over 200mm / s, more suitable for industrial products. Needle printers generally have a pinning frequency of 1000 to 1200 Hz, and high speed products can reach 1500 Hz or above.
