Barcode printers and ordinary printers alike are a kind of output printing equipment, with the development of barcode printers, barcode printers in our work as well as life has become extremely common, the next will give you an introduction to the difference between barcode printers and ordinary printers. Ordinary printers are divided according to the way they work.
Ordinary printers are classified according to their mode of operation.
Needle printers:
printing through the contact between the printer needle and the paper.
Inkjet printers:
use the nozzle to print tiny drops of ink on the paper, the smaller the drops, the clearer the printing effect.
Laser printers:
use an optical image processor to produce a bitmap of the page to be printed, which is then converted into a series of pulses such as electrical signals to be sent to a laser transmitter, where the laser is released in a regular pattern under the control of this series of pulses.
Bar code printers print on a thermal basis, using ribbon as the print medium (or using thermal paper) to complete the print, so bar code printers have two modes of printing: thermal and thermal transfer. The advantage of this printing method is that it can print unattended at high speed and can print a variety of product label markings. So after designing a product label with barcode software it is often connected to a barcode printer for printing.
The difference between barcode printers and ordinary printers.
1, printing accuracy and different ways
Bar code printer printing accuracy is high, so in order to print bar codes to ensure the recognition rate of the bar code, printing method is thermal and thermal transfer, this printing method can be unattended in the case of continuous high-speed work, ordinary printers can not do.
2、Printing content and use range is different
Printing accuracy and printing method of different, decided the two applications production range is different, bar code printer can print a variety of product labels, jewellery labels clothing tags and bar code two-dimensional code and so on printing.
3, the use of different paper
Barcode printers can print more materials, such as PET, copper plate paper, thermal paper stickers and polyester, PVC and other synthetic materials and washed label fabric, etc., ordinary printers are commonly used to print ordinary paper, such as A4 paper, small bills, etc..
4, printing speed and printing volume is different
Barcode printer in good maintenance and the correct way of operation, can work 24 hours a day, the printing volume is not limited, can be connected to the bar code software to achieve the serial number (bar code variability) printing, bar code software can also save the label format edited in advance, or call the data in the database for batch, continuous printing.
In summary, the difference between barcode printers and ordinary printers is that barcode printers print in labels (volumes), whereas ordinary printers print in sheets, which shows that the difference between barcode printers and ordinary printers is still great.
