What are the categories of barcode printers

Barcode printers have a variety of classification methods, the following are some common classification methods:

According to the principle of classification: bar code printers can be divided into impact and non-impact two categories. Among them, the impact bar code printer prints the text or pattern on the paper by printing the ribbon with the printing needle, while the non-impact bar code printer uses other printing methods, such as thermal printing, thermal transfer printing, inkjet printing, etc.

Classification by use: bar code printers can be divided into office and business bar code printers, commercial bar code printers, special bar code printers, home bar code printers, portable bar code printers, network bar code printers, etc.

According to the printing speed classification: bar code printers can be divided into low-speed bar code printers, medium-speed bar code printers and high-speed bar code printers, of which low-speed bar code printers are usually desktop, medium speed and high-speed bar code printers are mostly industrial.

Classification by printing accuracy: barcode printers can be divided into low-precision barcode printers and high-precision barcode printers, of which low-precision barcode printers usually use thermal printing technology, high-precision barcode printers use thermal transfer printing technology or laser printing technology.

According to the printing format classification: barcode printers can be divided into small format barcode printers, medium format barcode printers and large format barcode printers, of which small format barcode printers are suitable for printing labels and receipts, medium format barcode printers are suitable for printing express bills and invoices, and large format barcode printers are suitable for printing posters and leaflets.
