Classification Of Portable Printers

1. Wired portable printer

Printers mainly use parallel ports and serial ports. Printers using parallel ports are mainly compatible with PC parallel ports, but serial ports are enough for portable mobile printers, so most desktop portable mobile printers use serial ports at present.

2. Thermal portable printer

The thermal printer has fast printing speed, low noise, little mechanical loss of the print head, and does not need the ribbon, which avoids the trouble of replacing the ribbon. However, thermal printers use thermal paper, so they cannot be stored indefinitely. They can be stored for one to five years under the condition of avoiding light, and there are also long-term thermal paper that can be stored for more than ten years.

3. Bluetooth portable printer

Bluetooth portable printer can transmit data wirelessly and print without aiming at the printer. Compared with infrared portable printer, it is more convenient and convenient to use.

4. Stylus portable printer

The documents printed by the needle portable printer can be saved for a long time, and the control of the needle print head is simple, so a cheaper control scheme can be adopted, so the needle portable printer is relatively cheap.

5. Wireless portable printer

Wireless portable printers are mainly used in the field of mobile printing. At present, most of the wireless portable mobile printers use IrDA technology. However, due to the complexity of IrDA protocol, IrDA protocol is generally not integrated in the printer, but the infrared port can be used to simulate the serial port in the physical layer for data transmission, but it also provides convenience for other devices with infrared, Because many infrared devices also do not have IrDA integrated protocol, these devices can communicate with infrared portable mobile printers through infrared ports.
