How to use thermal label paper in coffee shops

The process of using thermal label paper in coffee shops usually involves selecting suitable label paper, configuring printers, printing labels, and applying labels. Here is a detailed guide:

1、 Choose the appropriate thermal label paper

Consider size: Choose the appropriate width and length of thermal label paper based on the printer model of the coffee shop and the size of the beverage cup. Common sizes include 40mm x 30mm, 50mm x 30mm, 60mm x 40mm, etc.

Considering performance: Choose thermal label paper with waterproof, oil resistant, scratch resistant and other characteristics to ensure that the label remains clear and readable in damp or greasy environments.

Consider environmental friendliness: Choose recyclable or biodegradable environmentally friendly thermal label paper to reduce its impact on the environment.

2、 Configure thermal printer

Install thermal printer: Connect the printer to a power source and computer or mobile device according to the printer's instructions.

Install thermal label paper: Open the paper compartment cover of the printer, place the thermal label paper into the compartment, and ensure that the paper is flat and aligned. Then close the paper compartment cover and follow the printer prompts to calibrate the paper.

Set printing parameters: Set printing parameters in the printing software, such as label size, printing density, printing speed, etc., to ensure the best printing effect.

3、 Print labels

Design label templates: Design label templates in printing software, including store logos, beverage names, prices, dates, and other information. You can customize fonts, colors, and layouts as needed.

Connecting the order system: If the coffee shop uses an online order system, it can be connected to the printing software to achieve automatic label printing. When a customer places an order, the system will automatically send the order information to the printer for printing.

Manual label printing: For offline orders or special requirements, you can manually input order information and print labels in the printing software.

4、 Application tags

Paste label: Paste the printed label onto the beverage cup, ensuring that the label is flat and not skewed. You can adjust the position and orientation of the labels as needed.

Check the label: Before handing over the beverage to the customer, check whether the label is clear and readable, and whether the information is accurate and correct. If any problems are found, the labels should be replaced or the information corrected in a timely manner.

5、 Maintenance and upkeep

Regularly clean the print head: Use a soft cloth or cotton swab dipped in a small amount of alcohol to gently wipe the surface of the print head to remove dust and stains.

Check paper supply: Regularly check the supply of thermal label paper to ensure sufficient paper and replace empty paper rolls in a timely manner.

Update printer drivers: Regularly update printer drivers and printing software to ensure the normal operation and optimal performance of the printer.

Through the above steps, coffee shops can efficiently and accurately use thermal label paper to manage beverage orders and enhance customer experience. Meanwhile, choosing high-quality thermal label paper and printers is also a key factor in ensuring printing quality and service life.
