Barcode printer technical parameters and performance

ISBN printer

The bar code printer is a special printer. The content it prints is usually the enterprise's brand identification, serial number identification, packaging identification, bar code identification, envelope label, and clothing tag.

Overview

I believe we can often encounter such a situation. When you go to shopping malls or supermarkets to buy things, you will see that there is a small label on top of the goods. The label above is a vertical path (this name is very unprofessional, but Very straightforward) When we went to the checkout, the salesperson scanned the label on the product with a hand-held scanner. The product you should pay for was immediately displayed on the terminal pos. The vertical buzzword we are talking about here is bar code. Its wide application directly leads to the rapid popularization of its corresponding equipment. Barcode printers are widely used as one of the important equipment for bar code applications in the manufacturing industry, logistics industry, etc. Labeling industry. Although bar code printers have been widely used, there are not many users who can truly understand bar code printers. Therefore, today we talk about this bar code printer and let everyone have a general understanding of it.

As the name suggests, bar code printers are of course printers that print bar codes. Is a kind of needle printer. Ordinary bar code printers are mainly used in shopping malls. The bar code printer prints the ink on the ribbon (corresponding to the ribbon of the needle) on the bar code printing paper (with a certain standard size sticker paper) through the print head. Although it can be used as an ordinary printer (if you are not too narrow), most of the time (99.999999999%) is still used to print product barcodes. To give another example, the New Year is coming immediately. Many friends have to buy a train ticket to go home. The bar code on the train ticket is printed by a bar code printer. (It seems that bar codes still exist in our lives at all times).

The biggest difference between bar code printers and ordinary printers is that the bar code printer prints on a heat-based basis and uses the ribbon as the printing medium (or direct thermal paper) to complete the printing. This printing method has the greatest advantage over the ordinary printing method. It allows continuous high-speed printing without being managed.

The most important part of the bar code printer is the print head. The print head is composed of a thermistor. The process of printing is the process by which the thermistor heat transfers the toner on the carbon ribbon to the paper. Therefore, when purchasing a bar code printer, the print head is a component that deserves special attention. The cooperation with the ribbon is the soul of the entire printing process. In the current domestic market, common printers have two different types of print heads because of brand differences. One is a flat pressure print head, and the entire print head is pressed onto a ribbon. This type of print head can be adapted to various ribbons. With a wide user base, this print head is the most common, widely used in various brands of bar code printers; the other is a floating print head, which is a new type of print head mode, the print head is just the top pressure in the On ribbons, although this type of printhead has a relatively high demand for carbon ribbons, it has the function of saving carbon ribbons, so it is widely used by large companies with strong technical force.

Barcode printer technical parameters and performance

1, the print width: said the printer can print the maximum width, but also on behalf of the printer's level, in general, the print width has a few choices from 3 inches to 8 inches, print width is the deciding factor for the choice of printer, the user should be based on their own The actual need to choose the right printer for you.

2. Printing accuracy: The printer with the higher accuracy has more clear printing. Now the highest printing accuracy is 600dpi, and 200dpi or 300dpi can meet the daily needs of the industry. Users do not have to invest in pursuit of excessive printing accuracy. Much cost.

3, print speed: speed is the biggest advantage of bar code printers for ordinary printers. Its speed can reach 12 inches / second. For the same machine, the faster the speed, the lower the accuracy. So users must adjust the machine themselves to achieve the perfect combination of speed and accuracy.

4, Interface: General parallel port is the standard interface for bar code printers.

5. Others: In order to allow the printer to meet the requirements of users, all manufacturers have designed a lot of optional accessories: cutters, strippers, paper holders, etc. Users can choose according to their own specific requirements.

Barcode printer features

In addition to the printing capabilities of an ordinary printer, it has the following advantages:

1, industrial-grade quality, not limited by the amount of print, can print 24 hours;

2, not limited by the printing material, can print PET, copper plate paper, thermal paper stickers and polyester, PVC and other synthetic materials and washed standard fabrics;

3, the use of thermal transfer printing text and graphics with scratch-resistant effect, the use of special ribbon printing can also make the print product with waterproof, anti-fouling, anti-corrosion, high temperature and other characteristics;

4, printing speed is extremely fast, the fastest can reach 10 inches (24 cm) per second;

5, can print a serial number, connect to the database batch print;

6, the label paper is generally a few hundred meters long, can reach thousands to tens of thousands of small labels; label printers take continuous printing, easier to save and organize;

7, not subject to the limitations of the working environment;

8, single label can reach up to 120 cm.
