One reason is that there are so many different kiosk thermal printers on the market and their applications are so diverse. There are mainly 5 types of kiosk thermal printers.

Here is the content list:

The "cut and drop" printer

The "output control" printer

The "Host" function printer

The "present and retract" kiosk printers

POS printers in kiosk

The "cut and drop" printer

These are usually used to pay for and display parking lots. Tickets are printed inside the booth, cut from rolls of paper and dropped from a chute onto a tray to be collected. This is the most basic type of kiosk thermal printer and the least expensive. The kiosk thermal printer is well protected inside the kiosk. Cutting and lowering the printer is very effective as long as the kiosk is well designed.

The "output control" printer

Two clever features allow the printer to be mounted directly behind the kiosk fascia. "Anti-jam" function stops printing tickets in case of congestion; For example, deliberately blocking paper paths. Print your resume when the path is clear. When the opposite happens, the ticket is pulled out before it is fully printed, and "pull protection" ensures that the kiosk thermal printer and the roll are not affected. Certain tickets may be damaged or torn by the user, but will not cause paper jams, ensuring the kiosk is ready for the next customer.

The "Host" function printer

A demonstrator is installed in front of the kiosk thermal printer at the ticket booth, which prints and cuts out tickets before the customer sees them. The printed ticket is then forwarded and presented to the user. Once pulled, the ticket is further served and ejected, effectively passing the ticket to the user. These printers are a little more expensive, but they're totally protected from abuse.

The "present and retract" kiosk printers

They are very similar to a demo printer, but with the added ability to retrieve printed tickets and discard them in the kiosk. This is very useful if the user does not accept a ticket or receipt within a programmable time. A typical application for this type of kiosk thermal printer is ATM, as it prevents unnecessary receipts from littering the street.

POS printers in kiosk

With printing speeds reaching 350mm per second, a fifth type of "kiosk thermal printer" is becoming more widely used. Due to mass production, POS (Point-of-sale) printers are a very cost-effective way to produce tickets or receipts in a kiosk environment. The super-high printing speed almost completely eliminates the speaker's need, as the ticket is printed and cut before the user has a chance to grab and pull it.

For convenience and ease of use, innovative features such as feed and print buttons are included on both the front and back of the kiosk thermal printer, which is ideal for self-service terminals that open front, side or back.
