FUNCTION OF THERMAL PRINTERS
Thermal printers use hot needles that leave an impression on the thermally sensitive paper. When the paper passes over the thermal print head, images or text is created in black and other colors through the use of temperature variations. In order to print, the paper is passes between the print head and the roller, and the printer sends an electrical current to the thermal head to generate the images and text. The thermo-sensitive paper reacts and changes colour where the paper was heated. Gone are the days of using a dot matrix ribbon kitchen printer. Thermal POS Printers supports kitchen ticket printing with adjustable and custom font selection.
