Thermal Printer for Arduino

DESCRIPTION

The embedded thermal printer is a compact 58mm receipt printer module that prints text, graphics, barcodes and QR codes directly from your Arduino, Raspberry Pi or PC. It is ideal for makers, schools and product developers in Singapore building point-of-sale terminals, IoT data loggers, label stations and Industry 4.0 prototypes that need a hard copy of their output.

With a fast 60mm/s print speed, 203dpi resolution and a rated print head life of 50km, it delivers crisp, ink-free output. Its panel-mount design, flip cover and quick-fix latch make it easy to embed into enclosures and finished devices.
