TP-806 Thermal Receipt Printer

A barcode, consisting of bars and spaces, is a machine-readable representation of numerals and characters. Today, stripes as shown below on packages of products sold at supermarkets, convenience stores and other stores are ubiquitous. These are barcodes.Thermal transfer printers use a ribbon and a printhead to produce accurate, high-quality barcode images. In this method of printing, the thermal printhead uses heat to transfer ink from the ribbon to the label or tag material to form the images. This technique provides images with high quality and durability.Barcodes are applied to products as a means of quick identification. They are used in retail stores as part of the purchase process, in warehouses to track inventory, and on invoices to assist in accounting, among many other uses.Compared to other kinds of printers, such as the dot matrix, inkjet, or laser printer, an industrial thermal printer can withstand long continuous hours of mass printing while maintaining a superior print quality in the fastest print speeds. This makes the thermal printer the best choice for barcode label printing.
