The receipt printer produces receipts at the transaction end of a Point of Sale system. It connects to the computer and prints on the command of POS software. The most common POS receipt printers employ thermal technology for the best quality.
In buying your POS receipt printer, you should consider software requirements, system connectivity, receipt cutting, device drivers etc. These factors help you ascertain the printer’s compatibility issues with other components of the POS such as the CPU.
Not all software applications may be compatible with your preferred printer. This may cause installation problems and the POS may fail to detect or recognise your printer. The good thing is that printer manufacturers always include documentation that highlights software specifications for your printer. You may find information on your printer’s compatibility with major Operating Systems such as Microsoft Windows, Linux and Macintosh.
Your POS software developer may also assist you in checking compatibility aspects of your printer.
It is appropriate to assess how your printer connects to the CPU. However, connectivity may just be a matter of preference because many modern computers support all the major cable interfaces for system peripherals. Your printer may connect through serial, parallel, USB or Ethernet cable interfaces.
Your POS will also need devices such as the Zebra label printers. The printers concern the production of digital item labels for your POS. Your POS will not employ manual means to enter product data such as brand names, type, size, colour etc. The system utilises barcode technology to read item details into the computer. Zebra Label printers produce the bar-coded details that you will stick onto appropriate items in your store. A barcode scanner reads those into the system.
Thus, Zebra Label printers are part and parcel of your POS components that help enhance speed and accuracy of data entry and processing.
