    Closing Sales: 5 Key Factors to Consider When Purchasing a POS Printer

    September 18, 2023

    In today’s dynamic business environment, a modern Point of Sale (POS) system is essential for all kinds of businesses, whether they operate offline or in a mobile capacity, and plays a crucial role in streamlining sales processing and efficient management across a wide range of industries. POS systems find extensive usage not only in the hospitality and retail sectors, but also in various other significant fields, including government, healthcare, and transportation and logistics. With advanced features like e-commerce integration, contactless payments, mobile capabilities, and robust analytics, POS systems have nowadays expanded beyond their traditional role. As a result, the POS terminal market is expected to reach $180.4 billion by 2032, underscoring its increasing significance.Making the right choice when selecting a POS system has become increasingly critical for businesses aiming to optimise their operations and unlock greater functionality. POS systems offer benefits that extend beyond facilitating transactions, and with the advent of cloud-based solutions revolutionising businesses, they have surpassed the limitations of traditional cash registers. Nowadays, POS systems facilitate seamless communication, eliminate errors, and ensure real-time access to accurate inventory information across departments and stores. By improving customer experience satisfaction and supporting internal processes, including reporting, analysis, staff productivity, and administration, the right choice of POS system components can play a central role in driving overall business success.To help with this decision-making process, BIXOLON, with over 30 years of experience in printing technology, has put together 5 simple points to consider when purchasing a POS printer.Connectivity - Ensure that the POS system printer offers a range of connectivity options beyond traditional Serial or Parallel interfaces. Ethernet, USB, Bluetooth, and WLAN connectivity allow integration with tablets and other peripherals. As technology drives buying decisions, hardware solutions should align with software requirements, whether it’s a standalone payment solution or part of a comprehensive omni-channel ecosystem.Performance - Evaluate the printer’s overall performance, including printing speed, reliability, cutter performance, and print head durability. A high-performance printer with efficient components minimises maintenance requirements and potential downtime, ensuring smooth operations.Look - Retailers are increasingly opting for sleek and compact designs to streamline their cash desks. Cube printers, with their compact features and front exit feed, are gaining popularity for seamless integration on or under the desk.Integration - Ease of integration is also essential, especially when upgrading existing systems. Look for printers that offer seamless plug-and-play installation to minimise downtime and maintain productivity. Quick and hassle-free installation processes are vital for time-sensitive businesses.Price - While price is a factor, it’s important to prioritise reliability and quality over the lowest cost. Cheaper printers may result in frequent replacements or repairs, leading to higher costs in the long run. Reputable manufacturers often offer industry-leading warranties, providing higher reliability and the option for warranty extensions.Choosing the appropriate POS system printer is vital for the success of any business. To satisfy every market necessity, BIXOLON offers a comprehensive range of desktop and mobile POS printer solutions, offering 2-inch (58mm) and 3-inch (80mm) print widths with eco, paper saving options.

Many countries have now brought in fiscal laws to prevent retailer fraud. It ensures that mandatory VAT transactions are reported through receipts and paid correctly paid to the authorities. Although fiscal laws and how they run differ with each country, these laws cover how the electronic cash register should work, how data should be saved and reported, plus how and when it should be done. What Printing Options Are Available Today?Fiscal Printers and other Memory DevicesA Fiscal printer is a receipt printer which include a fiscal memory module. The module records every transaction for easy reporting of tax owed to a country while printing a carbon copy for the customer. Other fiscal memory devices also exist including fiscal cash registers and electronic signature devices.

    Loss Prevention and Protection: Digital Vs Physical Receipting

    November 4, 2019

    For hundreds of years paper receipting has acknowledged that a person has received goods or services following a payment of money or property. It provides a physical binding contract of a transaction which has taken place. As technology has advanced from physical written receipting to the use of printed receipts, digital receipting is now entering the arena. With each technology advance, it has provided both businesses and customers with many benefits. However, as we progress through these advancing technological times, can we still prove the loss prevention and protection of our purchases? Digital Receipting• With the growing pressure to modernise operations and become more environmentally friendly, digital receipting is growing in popularity as a paperless alternative to traditional receipting.• Customers have a digital copy of receipts which can be centrally stored and used as required.• Digital receipting has now been recognised as an approved form of expensing and accounting by many countries across the world.• However, digital receipting relies on customers having either an email address or their business app. Not all customers will have access to such devices, so digital receipting isn’t always possible.• Businesses emailing receipts are required to maintain a large database of contact details which require additional security protocols within the POS system. If sensitive addresses are inputted incorrectly, the customer will not receive their proof of payment.• Digital receipting relies on businesses having 24/7 access to the cloud to send the receipt and customers having instant data access to receive it. Sometimes due to technology failure, these services might not be instantly available. Physical Receipting• Physical receipts provide an instant proof of payment for a transaction and provides customers with the security of an instant return.• Physical receipts give businesses the ability to instantly add seasonal identifiers, such as coupons or promotions in the form of barcodes and QR codes, which can easily be scanned by the POS in real-time.• For customers paying with cash, physical receipts protect both the business checking they are providing the correct change and the customer with proof that the correct money has been returned.• However, there are always issues in the quality of paper used, the potential for receipts to fade over time. The cost of transport logistics for the receipt rolls and time required to change a till roll also need to be considered.• Digital receipting is an irreversible trend, but working alongside traditional receipting both options provides both the customers and businesses complete protection on proof of payment and receipt of products/services. So, what printing options available in the market today? BIXOLON offers an award-winning range of Direct Thermal Desktop POS and Mobile Printers. Available as 2-inch (58mm), 3-inch (80mm) and 4-inch (112mm) media widths, our printers are packed with value-added features and a wide range of connectivity options to suit budget and requirements. Complimented by its dynamic label printing range of linered and linerless labelling, BIXOLON printing solutions are ideal for a range of applications, from stand-alone kiosk printing to multi-platform ecosystems. BIXOLON’s POS printers including the SRP-380, or SRP-S300 offer a paper saving mode, reducing the size of the receipt up to 25%. Model dependent features also include a back-feed option to reduce paper expenses by 20% or Auto Receipt Resize™ software which facilities 80-58mm auto paper reduction. In addition, BIXOLON also supports a range of software add-ons, such as mPrint Server, facilitating direct printing from web browsers and providing businesses with flexibility for a range of applications from customer receipting for Mobile POS, to MRD (Make, Ready, Discard) applications. Alongside mPrint App which gives users the ability to print documentation -image and PDF- from the web through their chosen web browser or app on an iOS™ or Android™ device.

    Retail POS Printing – Cheap Vs Cheerful?

    April 26, 2019

    The value of POS printing technology slowly decreasing with a stream of low cost printing hardware flooding the market, Retailers are now left questioning the use of the product against its replacement costs. The influx of low cost hardware comes at a price, cutting corners using sub-standard irreplaceable components means technology frequently only lasts 6 months and cannot be repaired creating a cycle of consume and destroy. Subsidised hardware also comes with a number of energy and disposal issues making it almost impossible to discard and recycle. However reputable printer hardware manufacturers are now looking into ways counteract this issue offering a wider range of quality, reliable technology solutions which can be tailored to suit any budget. This initiative offers retailers with the security of having high quality, compliant technology which comes with the option for repair and even upcycling. To help with this decision making process, BIXOLON has put together 5 simple points to consider when purchasing your next set of POS printing hardware: Hardware life expectancy – Retailers need to plan their life cycle of their POS estate. Factors such as connectivity and support need to be addressed as technology and customer requirements are constantly changing which may require early upgrades of certain aspects of the POS system compared to other parts. Looking into printer technology with multiple connectivity options may enable simple future upgrades without the need to upgrade the printer. Energy certification and WEEE Compliance – Understanding the energy and compliancy of a printer is essential in the decision making process. Quality printers on the market today will come with an energy star rating which is identifiable by the blue energy star logo and many printers alongside power saving options built into the printers to reduce costs. WEEE compliance is also important to verify the safe ecological destroying and recycling of the electrical product. Design and quality of the product – Quality typically comes at a price, although most quality printer manufacturers now offer a number of printing options to suit any budget. Economical options offering basic essential features and reliability are increased in price by the number of additional features and add-ons. Warranty – A two year warranty has now become the industry standard with many companies now offering additional warranty add-ons. Maintenance companies also provide additional support for printing estates with tailor packages to suit individual requirements. Consumables – Printing consumables can often be a minefield. Different types of receipt paper and label media options have a major impact on both cost and the environment. Many printer manufacturers are now offering eco-software add-ons as standard to their printers to reduce the length of receipts and labelling innovations such as linerless labels which eradicates the requirement of silicon based backing paper. The True Value of BIXOLON POS, Mobile and Label Printers BIXOLON provides a range of POS, Mobile and Label printing solutions to suite any budget. Combining technology with innovation, a number of its printers also come with power and paper saving functions as standard to reduce power consumption and paper usage, while providing the same high quality, reliable receipt and labelling. Offering an industry leading 2 year warranty as standard with the option to extend the warranty with tailored warranty packages across our entire printing range. BIXOLON printers are WEEE compliant and energy Star certified to offer an extra piece of mind. To complement its printing range, BIXOLON also offers a portfolio of efficient printing consumables including including B-linerless labelling (permanent and re-stick linerless label solutions), B-wristbanding (printable wristbanding) and B-post Label (adhesive-free variable length labelling) for a cost effective, efficient printing solutions.To find out more, visit BIXOLON at www.Bixolon.com or alternatively speak to your local BIXOLON sales representative.

    BIXOLON SRP-383: A Top Choice For POS Applications Demanding High Print Quality

    March 5, 2019

    When selecting the right printer for a POS application, various factors need to be considered and print resolution is a key requirement. 180dpi or 203dpi print faster and produce an identifiable image for most applications, but when it comes to printing small fonts, intricate barcodes, and graphics, higher print resolution is often required. Offering 300dpi the highest resolution in the POS printer market, BIXOLON SRP-383 claims to be a top choice for those needs. Superb print quality It is logical that higher resolutions meet enhanced clarity, sharpness, and readability. SRP-383 ensures crisp, clear printing of 1-D and 2-D bar codes, quality texts and complex logo graphics ideal for documents such as tax refund receipts in multiple languages, invoices composed of data tables or lengthy terms and conditions. Ideal for retailers who are trying to drive sales and loyalty with coupons on receipts, print quality is the critical element in finding the right printer. If you refer to the diagram below, the images and texts at 300dpi are more recognizable and more clearly defined.Lower TCO and improved sustainability The SRP-383 prints a receipt comprised of high-density contents at 300dpi consumes 53% less paper than printing the same at 180dpi. Powered by the proprietary Auto Receipt Resize™ technology, the SRP-383 changes to print from 4-inch to 3-inch or 3-inch to 2-inch and cuts down on the use of paper by up to 52%. The technology doesn’t require users to change the original software of host devices such as driver or middleware therefore, the print quality won’t deteriorate as the sizing is reduced.These innovative paper saving solutions help improve sustainability by eliminating a significant amount of waste to landfills and CO2 emissions. Powered by TTF Font downloader™ the new utility, which easily stores True Type Fonts is already installed in the operating system of the thermal POS printer. The SRP-383 also enables IT managers to make use of a variety of receipt font styles while reducing time and cost required for developing each font. The program provides functions for downloading, editing and test printing of fonts. ​Producing perfect, scannable barcodesA 300dpi printhead allows more information to fit into smaller barcodes. The SRP-383 prints a reduced size of barcode containing a greater volume data than those printed at 180dpi or 203dpi. It’s recommended to select a printer that supports 300dpi when a relatively large amount of data needs to be stored in a barcode to avoid printing partially cut barcodes. The SRP-383 easily prints compliant, scannable barcodes onto receipt paper.For more information visit http://www.Bixolon.com, or alternatively speak to your local BIXOLON sales representative.

    Point Of Sale Printers

    February 19, 2018

    Today’s methods of managing point of sale (POS) customer interactions is far different from only a few years ago. Many retail establishments have implemented hand-held devices that a customer service employee can use to check a customer out on the spot. This can be seen now in many, if not most, restaurants. Wait staff can take a customer’s credit card and take payment and provide a receipt at the table using point of sales printers. These receipt printers are lightweight and very portable. There are several types of these portable printers available, including ink jet, thermal, and dot matrix printers. Ink Jet Ink jet printers are normally used only when very high-quality printing is needed. Thius isn’t usually a requirement for receipts, but some upmarket establishments sometimes want their coloured logo or an eye-catching advertisement printed on the receipt. The ink is shot onto the paper through tiny heads, and for colour printing multiple heads are needed. The coloured inks can make replacement of the cartridges rather costly. Thermal Thermal printers work by applying a heated element to paper that is sensitive to heat. The heat darkens the paper where it makes contact. As the element moves across that paper, it can make the shape of letters, numbers and even black and white images. That said, there are newer technologies available that can produce coloured prints with thermal printers. The fact that a portable thermal printer has no need for toners or ink makes their running costs lower than for ink jet printers. Some print quality is sacrificed, though. Another drawback to the use of this technology is the life expectancy of the printed receipt. The treated paper will darken with time and can eventually make it unreadable. For most receipt, purposes, though, that slow degradation won’t matter. One thing to consider is that if these printers will spend significant time in a hot kitchen environment, the thermal paper can degrade much more quickly! Dot Matrix Dot Matrix printers are the least costly of these three options. They are hardy, and very reliable. They print by having an inked ribbon impacted by a printer head that produces dots on the paper that conform to the shapes of letters and numbers. They are capable of printing graphics, as well. Normally, these devices print in red and black, but other coloured ribbons can be found. These portable printers are generally the lowest cost, and the running costs are low, with only ribbons and normal paper to be replaced. As it is normal paper, these devices are more popular when they’ll spend time in kitchens. Connectivity When looking into what types and brands of point of sale printers you wish to use in your establishment, a consideration will be how it connects with your other systems. There are now devices that can use a phone or a tablet (both iOS and Android) to place orders. These will interface with the systems to place order with a kitchen or a stockroom, manage inventories, and compile the order documents. The same units can them process the payment and communicate with the financial management software for the business. This allows for much greater efficiencies in the day-to-day running of the business. Other Considerations The various types of printers have pluses and minuses. While dot matrix is solid, dependable, low cost initially and has low running costs, it is the slowest of the types, and is a bit noisy when printing. This can have a minor negative impact on a business’s “atmosphere”. Both Thermal and Ink Jet are faster and quieter than Dot Matrix, and have better quality pint output. They are also most costly to run. The choice come down to how high a quality output is desired, and how flexible the colour choices have to be. Lastly, the hardware and software used should be supported by the equipment supplier. Here at Bixolon we have our customer service staff on hand to handle any problems or queries, along with our online resources, and downloads areas. We are proud of our products and support our customers. See our range of Point of Sale Printers here.

    Thermal Printing: What you need to know

    April 10, 2017

    Thermal printing may seem a thing of the past for many who have become accustomed with laser and inkjet printers in recent years. Thermal printers do, however, continue to be used by many sizeable operations within both the manufacturing and logistics sector. This is partly due to the low initial investment and little ongoing maintenance they require. As a leading manufacturer of both thermal transfer and direct thermal printers, BIXOLON works with organisations around the globe to find the perfect solution for them, whether it be for simple barcoding, compliance labelling or small parts tracking. However, many organisations still turn to expensive and high maintenance printing solutions due to them knowing little about thermal alternatives and the benefits they can offer. In this article, we’ll delve into the technicalities of thermal printing and what separates it from alternative solutions. We’ll also explore what you should look for when shopping for a printer, whatever your budget and requirements. What is Thermal Printing and How Does It Work? BIXOLON SRP-330II Thermal Printer The first of these components in a thermal head, which is the primary component for generating heat and produces the image on the thermal paper as it passes over. The thermal head selectively heats areas of the paper, dependent upon what has been inputted into the printer, and turns the special coating located on the thermal paper black. When a printer supports additional colours, such as red, the thermal head will produce two different temperatures to determine which areas of the image are black and which are coloured. For the thermal head to make contact with the thermal paper, a spring is required. This component is simple in nature and ensures that the thermal head sits appropriately on the paper to create a clear image without any severe damage being caused to the paper. Another important component within any thermal printer is the platen, a rubber roller that feeds paper into the device itself. This platen is like that found on most laser printers and ensures that the paper is feed into the printer straight and therefore produces a high-quality and straight print. Finally, for each of the previously listed components to work in synergy a controller board is necessary. It is this board, which works similarly to a computers mother board, that provides the user interface displayed on the printers’ screen, manoeuvres the various components and warns of any issues. Which Thermal Printing Solution is Right for You? The thermal printing market is one of huge variety. In fact, BIXOLON alone manufacture and sell a wide collection of thermal transfer and direct thermal printers. Each of these printers are designed for different uses and offer varied levels of technical capabilities. BIXOLON SLP-T400 Thermal Printer The BIXOLON DLP-T400 printer, for example, is ideal for those in search of a simple yet reliable desktop printer for barcode, QR and labelling requirements. Our SLP-TX400, on the other hand, features our Smart Media Detection technology. This helps detect the media being used and alter the printing accordingly. For most organisations the most important consideration is the compatibility a chosen printer provides and the wired connections it offers. This is as a lack of WLAN connectivity could be the difference between your printer working with your existing system or not. Finally, selecting a thermal printer ensuring that it works with the various programming languages, including SLCS, is wise.
