 3. Printing speed:

  Fast speed is the greater advantage of barcode printers over general printers. Its speed can reach 12 inches per second. For the same kind of machine, the faster the speed, the lower the accuracy. Therefore, it is necessary for users to adjust the machine by themselves to achieve the perfect combination of speed and precision.

 4. Interface:

  The general interface is parallel, and now more and more printers use USB interface.
