What You Need to Know About Choosing a Samsung Thermal Printer

Thermal printers use heat to print graphics, images, and text. Samsung thermal printers are available in a range of types and sizes. These systems are designed to work with computers, tablets, and other devices that can send compatible files to the printer.

There are two types of thermal printers. The label printers use rolls of self-adhesive labels that are separated by a specified distance on the backing. They can print text or graphics, bar codes, or QR codes in a vertical or horizontal orientation. The second type is point of sale, or POS. The POS units are designed to print transaction receipts with numbers, text, logos, and barcodes.

The available options for connectivity include:

• Parallel: They accept IEEE 1284.
• PictBridge: This is a proprietary app developed by the company for use with its other electronic devices.
• Serial: This connectivity option uses RS 232 cables and connections.
• USB: The devices accept USB 1.0 and USB 1.1 connections.

The paper used in thermal printers is thermal paper. It is available in rolls, self-adhesive labels with a backing, or sheets. It is coated with a material that is designed to change color when exposed to heat. The material consists of a solid-state dye and a matrix. These printer systems use a matrix with a fluoran leuco dye. When the matrix is heated by the devices head past its melting point, a chemical reaction takes place, creating the dots that come together to be letters, symbols, numbers, or graphics.

• Portable: These lightweight printing systems are mobile, making them useful for POS on-the-go and while traveling.
• Light emitting diode indicators: The products status is shown with illuminated light emitting diode indicators. The available statuses include ready, in process, error, and off-line.
• Output options: The available output options include black and white and color.
• Automatic cutting: The products that create labels have an automatic cutter that trims the end of the self-adhesive label sheet at a specified distance after the end of the text.

• Thermal makes use of heat and a rotating print head. The heat activates chemicals in the paper as the printer head moves across the piece of paper.
• Inkjets printing units use liquid ink with pigments or dyes to create text, graphics or images.
• Laser printing makes use of powder toner units that convey the powder to the sheets, and the powder bonds to it with static electricity.
