Mini thermal printer

Print receipts, barcodes, QR codes and even bitmap graphics straight from your microcontroller! 

This package comes with a thermal printer including the print head (it does not require ink), a set of power and data cables, and two plastic shims for panel mounting.

Thermal paper not included! The printer uses very common 2.25" wide thermal paper, available in any office or stationery supply store. It can fit up to 50 ft of paper in the bay at once.

You will also need a 5 to 9VDC regulated power supply, that can provide 1.5A or more during the high-current print

The back panel has 2 3-pin connectors; one for power and one for serial communications. The thermal printer ships with default 19200bps baud rate. If you’re using this printer in conjunction with an Arduino, you’re going to need to connect it to the “Vin” pin and attach an external power supply, as the printer will draw more current than USB is capable of delivering.

The printer does not support the command set described in the manual. Setting the print density, printing bitmaps and bar codes do not work. The commonly available Arduino/Raspberry Pi libraries will not work properly for the same reason.

Great product! Easy to set up and use, works for both bitmaps and text. I've been using it with an arduino and it is very easy to use and code with other components. Good value and works well.

Excellent printer. Works right out of the box. Built-in fonts/barcodes etc. so very easy on the flash RAM in Atmel slabs. Like others have said, a little parsimonious failing to include just a small strip of thermal printer to verify that it works on arrival.
