A Barcode Printer is a device that is very similar to traditional printers, except rather than generating documents; it is used for printing of barcode labels and tags. It is specially designed to not only generate tens of thousands of labels and tags without error but also do it very quickly. As barcode printer has a print head that generates the heat required for printing. There is also a media sensor that detects the presence of media in the printer.Different types of barcode printers are available to cater to different markets like desktop, industrial, high performance and mobile.

    These printers use different printing technology, can feature very high resolution and go wherever you want! Both these printers are capable of producing one and two dimensional barcodes. A Direct Thermal Barcode Printer uses a print head to heat special, chemically treated label stock.
