The receipt printers are an inherent part of the POS industry. The choices for the printer technology are DOT matrix and thermal. The popular receipt printer used in the fast-paced and the retail environment is the thermal printer. These printers function under the normal circumstances; whereas the DOT matrix printers are used in the high-heat environment.

Here Is a Rundown of the Different Kinds Of Receipt Printers 

  • Thermal Printer: The thermal POS printers operate by burning the paper with the ‘hot printing head’. Such printers make use of the special ‘thermal paper’ for making high resolution and sharp edge impressions. The advantage of using this printer is that it helps in fast printing, provides printing of high resolution and does not require the changing of the ribbon or toner.  Such printers make use of heat for activating emulsion on the ‘heat-sensitive’ paper and thereby avoiding the need for extra media. These printers are widely used in the restaurants, grocery stores, and fast-paced environments.  

  • Dot-Matrix Printers: The Dot-Matrix receipt printers are widely used in the ‘high-heat’ environments. This type of receipt printer prints by means of the needle striking the ‘ink ribbon’ on paper. The advantage of using these printers is that these are cost-effective. Such printers require plain paper and inexpensive ink-ribbons to function. These are used for printing on 2 ply paper to enable the printouts to be available in 2 copies. The technology used in such printers can work in both the cold and hot environments.
  • Impact Receipt Printers: An impact receipt printer uses ‘small pins’ for transferring and pressing the ‘ink’ on receipt paper. Restaurant kitchens make use of these printers.
  • Inkjet Printers: The inkjet printers find wide application in the fine dining restaurants and upscale boutiques. Such printers cannot be used in the places where high volume printouts are needed such as at the POS in supermarkets, gas stations or retail environments.

  • Multi-Functional Printers: The multi-functional printers produce receipt printing, slip printing, MICR, checking for endorsing and barcode scanning.

  • Mobile Receipt Printers: The mobile printers find wide application in the retail and the food industry.
