INTRODUCTION OF BARCODE PRINTER

A Barcode Printer is a very similar to traditional printers, except rather than generating documents a Barcode Printer is designed to efficiently create labels or tags containing either unique or identical information. Since the Barcode data on shipping labels, price tags or inventory is both precise and recurring a Barcode Printer is specially designed to not only generate tens and thousands of labels and tags without error but also to do it very quietly.

TYPES OF BARCODE PRINTERS

Barcode printers use different printing technology which can feature very high resolution, some of the Barcode printers are as follows:

1 DIRECT THERMAL BARCODE PRINTER - It uses a print head to heat special chemically treated label stock. The print is created when parts of the label stock darken in response to the heat. Zebra Z4M Plus is one of the Direct Thermal Barcode Printer.

2 THERMAL TRANSFER BARCODE PRINTER - It uses heat to bond a thin film of wax or resin coating onto a label. It generates labels that last longer and are more durable but at a slightly higher price. Datamax M-4206 is one of the Thermal Transfer Barcode Printer.

3 HIGH RESOLUTION BARCODE LABEL PRINTER - A High Resolution Barcode Label Reader prints barcodes, text and graphics at extremely high resolution for superior clarity and detail in every print job. Primera LX810 is one of the High Resolution Barcode Label Printer.

4 PORTABLE BARCODE LABEL PRINTER - A Portable Barcode Label Printer takes barcode printing off the desktop and takes it wherever it's needed. It prints smaller labels while clipped to a belt or a vehicle to print labels, receipts anywhere they are needed. Zebra QL320 is one of the Portable Barcode Label Printer.

BARCODE PRINTER CONNECTIONS

A Barcode Printer can use various connection methods to receive printing data from a computer. These connection methods include:

1 USB BARCODE PRINTER - The USB Barcode printer uses the computer's USB connection to transmit data from the computer to the barcode printer. Through the use of a USB peripherals can be connected to the same computer at the same time.

2 PARALLEL BARCODE PRINTER - A Parallel Barcode Printer connects to the parallel port on a computer. The printer features superior images and lifelong performance in the most demanding industrial applications.

3 RS232 SERIAL BARCODE PRINTER - This Printer connects to the computer's serial port. It is capable of producing wide image and supports all popular linear and 2 dimensional barcode symbologies.

4 ETHERNET BARCODE PRINTER - This Printer connects to the computer's Ethernet (RJ-45) port just like a network cable. An Ethernet Barcode Printer will have software that enables it to connect directly to a network without first connecting to a computer. This allows multiple Barcode Printers to be controlled by one computer such as in shipping facility.

5 WIRELESS BARCODE PRINTER - This Printer operates on wireless frequencies like a cordless phone. A Wireless Barcode Printer receives data from a computer without the need for wiring which is useful when facility configuration or environment conditions make wiring expensive, hazardous. These Printers vary by reception range and frequency capabilities.
