Thermal barcode printer offers rugged, reliable printing that enables easy bar code labeling. Thermal barcode printer enables easy and efficient bar code labeling of virtually any products and goods and can be conveniently upgraded.
Thermal barcode printer is available in a wide range of prices with different sizes and capabilities. It is usually based on two of the commonly available technologies; thermal direct printing and thermal transfer printing. In direct thermal printers, there is no ribbon used. Heat is generated as the print head comes in direct contact with the specially treated paper also called thermal paper, resulting to a chemical reaction that turns the paper black and forms an image of the barcode.
Meanwhile, in thermal barcode printer that is based on thermal transfer printing technology, the print head generates heat that causes the transfer of the ink from the ribbon to the paper or other printing surfaces by melting the waxy or resin coating on the ribbon. Related to the price, direct thermal printers are generally less expensive and faster.
Thermal barcode printer produces barcodes that offer better quality than the barcodes produced by regular printers. Indeed, laser printers can produce clear barcodes, but they need 22 add-on applications and special fonts. Thermal barcode printers are capable of 203 DPI barcodes that any barcode scanner can easily read.
Majority of thermal barcode printers feature built-in PC connectivity through USB or serial cable. The memory of a thermal barcode printer can range from 128 to 512 KB RAM. ++
To select the right thermal barcode printer for you, it is important to know the volume of work that is needed using the barcode printer. Is the printer for a small business or for a high-volume business? Maybe you should have a heavy-duty printer.
