Common types of bar code printers

    1, commercial bar code printer: design fashion, submit small, affordable. Function to meet the business, individual users need to print.
    2, industrial bar code printer: durable design, larger, heavier, high-quality parts, able to adapt to harsh industrial environment
        24 hours continuous printing work. Other features, the interface is also more abundant than the commercial printer.
    3, portable bar code printer: At present, few manufacturers of portable bar code printer, foreign brands the most common, domestic brands only POSTEK Boss was.
        This product is lightweight, can carry, waterproof anti-drop strong, using Bluetooth, WIFI technology as an outdoor print data communication
        Sent for mobile office or outdoor operators.
    4, wide bar code printer: the usual bar code printer maximum print width of about 4 inches, in order to meet user needs, some manufacturers to mention
        For larger width printers with wider print widths, expand the maximum print width to 6 inches, 8 inches, and 10 inches. Application industry to
        Need to label large chemical industry, warehousing and logistics industry mostly.

The advantages and disadvantages of thermal printers

Relative to the dot matrix printer, thermal print speed, low noise, print clear, easy to use advantages. But the thermal printer can not print directly double, print out the documents can not be permanently saved, if the best thermal paper, can save ten years. And printable print can be double, and if you use a good ribbon, then print documents can be saved for a long time, but the dot printer prints slow, noisy, prints rough, need to frequently change the ribbon. If the user needs to print the invoice, it is recommended to use the needle print, other print other documents, it is recommended to use thermal printing

WinsPu specializes in the designing and manufacturing of thermal printer mechanisms, panel printer and kiosk printer modules.

Maintenance of bar code Printer Mechanism

Barcode printers have a wide range of applications in all walks of life, such as production lines, hospitals, logistics warehousing departments, retail supermarkets and many other places require high load on demand printing services. Therefore, the normal operation of the bar code printer for each application environment is essential. Especially for the 24-hour all-weather continuous operation of the workshop, any one link - of course, including bar code printers - problems, the entire production line will be paralyzed, resulting in direct loss countless.

The Printer Mechanism is a very important part of all the parts of the printer and directly affects the print quality. As the professional thermal or thermal transfer of the print head of the Printer Mechanism is particularly vulnerable, if not more maintenance, it is easy to cause print job is not normal. Most of the bar code printers use thermal printing and thermal transfer printing, both compared to the thermal print method on the print head wear, pollution intensity is greater. Many users believe that the maintenance of the machine to increase the expenditure, this only focus on short-term investment-oriented use of bar code printers will inevitably bring a certain degree of loss to the production, but also increase production costs. After professional testing, regular and reasonable maintenance and maintenance of the print head required meager expenditure, saving several times or even several times the equipment maintenance or update costs.

In addition to man-made damage, such as nail direct contact with the print head scratches, bar code Printer Mechanism damage mainly from high-speed printing to bring wear, high temperature environment so that thermal paper (thermal printer) or ribbon (thermal transfer Printer) dirty Printer Mechanism, high pressure or static electricity caused by the print head cracks and deformation. Once the print head is damaged, there is a white line in the printed label, and the printed label is blurred and the reader can not read the data.

The application of thermal printer

Thermal printing technology used in the first fax machine, the basic principle is to receive the data received by the printer into a lattice signal to control the heating of the thermal unit, the thermal paper thermal coating heated development. At present, the thermal printer has been widely used in POS terminal systems, bank systems, medical equipment and other fields.

Thermal printer can only use a dedicated thermal paper, thermal paper coated with a layer of heat will produce a chemical reaction and discoloration of the coating, similar to the photographic film, but this layer of coating is hot after the discoloration, the use of Thermal coating of this feature, there has been thermal printing technology.

What is the key to thermal printers?

     The key to the thermal printer's thermal printing technology is the heating element, which has a tiny array of semiconductor components, which are very tight, ranging from 200dpi to 600dpi, which will pass through a certain current. Fast produce high temperature, when the thermal paper coating encountered these components, in a very short period of time the temperature will rise, the thermal paper coating will be a chemical reaction, the color.

After receiving the print data, the thermal printer converts the print data into bitmap data, and then controls the heating element on the Printer Mechanism by the point of the bitmap data to pass the current, thus turning the print data into print on the printing paper.

Thermal Printer Mechanisms

WinsPu Technology Co., Ltd has released a new series of ultra-compact, battery-driven thermal printer mechanisms with detachable platens that simplify and expedite paper loading and printer accessibility.
The 2- and 3-in. printers are targeted to OEM designs such as portable and handheld devices, as well as measurement and medical equipment. Both printers have a maximum output speed of 60mm per second with a print resolution of 203 dots per inch.

About Barcode Print head Pre-Maintenance

To play the best role, when each with a roll of tape or a roll of thermal paper to be cleaned once a bar code print head. CAUTION When cleaning the bar code Printer Mechanism, remove the ring to prevent scratch bar code print heads and use a grounded metal strap or an antistatic mat to prevent damage to the bar code print head.
Use a 70% alcoholic cotton swab, first turn off the printer and open the bar code Printer Mechanism, brush with a small amount of cotton in the machine part of the printer, or gently blow the dust (eg roller, paper / ribbon sensor and bar code Printer Mechanism) The Do not use any hard metal or wearable tools (such as a screwdriver) to burn the bar code ribbon produced by the bar code.
With alcohol-loaded cotton stick pressure on the bar code Printer Mechanism rub from scratch to the end, and then rotate the roller, use it to turn edge rub, dirty cotton sticks do not reuse.
