Bar codes are becoming more and more widespread in today's daily life. Therefore, it is important for businesses to own a bar code printer with high quality and low price. ‘How to choose a suitable barcode printer? ‘It ’s a problem that many businesses will encounter. Below I will briefly introduce you to some issues that you need to pay attention to when purchasing a barcode printer.
1. Select according to printing accuracy.
Barcode printers are distinguished according to printing accuracy.There are mainly 203dpi and 300dpi.300 dpi is about 30% more expensive.If the requirements for printing fineness are relatively high (such as the density of bar codes on jewelry, mobile phones, and electronic components is higher) A 300dpi model can be selected, and a 203dpi model is generally sufficient.
2. Select according to the usage load.
Bar code printers can be divided into commercial grade and industrial grade according to different applications. Products for commercial machines mainly meet the needs of office labels and small batch labels. Industrial-grade printing equipment takes into account the needs of high-volume, harsh environments. Generally, industrial-grade products use more metal parts and higher configurations. They are much more durable and stable than commercial products, and print faster.
The usage load does not have a very precise dividing line. According to our experience and some information, the maximum daily workload is not more than 4,000 sheets, and the average daily print volume of about 1,000 sheets can be considered a commercial machine. Of course, the service life of industrial printing under the same load will be longer.
3. Select according to the save time.
Bar code printers are divided into thermal transfer and thermal based on the printing principle. Because the transmission mechanism is relatively simple, the thermal printer is cheaper. And thermal transfer printers can usually be converted to thermal printing, which is more versatile.
The thermal transfer is to transfer the toner on the carbon ribbon to the medium through the high temperature on the print head. The storage time is relatively long, so it is also widely used. Thermal sensitivity is directly applied to thermal paper, which is suitable for the field of post-and-use such as postal and retail.
4. Other issues that need attention.
If the actual work needs to print a large amount of data from the database, it is best to choose industrial products with large memory; if the information in the database contains Chinese characters, you should consider choosing a model that can download Chinese characters into the machine's memory. If there are many kinds of media to print, you must choose a model that can move the sensor. Also consider details such as whether additional support is required for the print media.
