JP QR204 58mm Micro Embedded Receipt Thermal Printer RS232 / TTL + USB Panel

Although we often love to DIY, building our own circuits and projects comprised of all kinds of individual components and various Modules, we have to admit that some things require professional manufacturing tools to build, and can’t simply be thrown together by soldering the right parts together. This Mini Thermal Receipt Printer with TTL & USB Interface is one such great example of this, and is a specially made printer that’s built specifically to print on thermal receipts, using hot pins to “burn” the paper and leave characters, words, numbers and whatever else you want on the thermally-active sheets.

This handy little printer is ideally suited for POS (or Point of Sale) applications, and is designed to be relatively quick so as to ensure a faster and more efficient POS solution. It is a mini variation of many of the larger Thermal Printers that you may find in retail stores, and is built into quite a sleek little package that could even be carried around in a pocket during expo’s and conventions if necessary. These features, while not being over the top in any way, are the perfect set of characteristics to help you take your POS capabilities out into the wild, or simply to help with warehousing, stock control, as well as some other handy Electronics applications within the business or home.

Of course, as Makers, we don’t always have to obey the “standard use cases” of devices like these, and realistically we could use these thermal printers for some very exciting projects, and we encourage you to experiment with whatever ideas you might have. Whether you want to use this handy thermal printer for custom thermal art, recording random bits of information, logging data from Sensors, or simply printing labels and receipts like it was built for, we’re certain that you will be quite impressed with the reliability and convenience that this compact but powerful thermal receipt printer offers.
