Bar code printers and label printers, bar code printers, and label printers are actually the same thing, just different names. In order to let users who are new to this kind of equipment know more about it, let ’s take a look at barcode printer and label printer The difference.
1.Barcode printer
A bar code printer is a dedicated printer. The biggest difference between bar code printers and ordinary printers is that the printing of bar code printers is based on heat, and carbon ribbon is used as the printing medium (or direct use of thermal paper) to complete printing.
The biggest advantage of this printing method over the ordinary printing method is that it can achieve continuous high-speed printing without supervision. The content it prints is generally the company's brand identity, serial number identity, packaging identity, barcode identity, envelope label, clothing tag, etc.
The focus of bar code printers is on bar codes and two-dimensional codes. Of course, the bar code and two-dimensional code are also printed on the label, but the bar code printer has a larger limit on the use of label paper, which is not as good as a label printer. However, the printing functions of bar codes and two-dimensional codes are relatively strong.
2.Label printer
A label printer refers to a printer that does not need to be connected to a computer. The printer itself has an input keyboard, built-in fonts, fonts, and a considerable number of label template formats. Through the LCD screen of the fuselage, you can directly input, edit, and edit label content according to your needs. Typeset and then print the entered printer directly.
The focus of label printers is to print labels. Labels can be large or small, and a wide range of labels can be used. Earlier label printers did not support bar codes and two-dimensional codes. But now it has developed, and most of them support bar codes and two-dimensional codes.
