1. Thermal printers are generally used in places such as supermarket receipt printers, POS cash register printing, bank ATM machine receipts, etc. It can be printed directly by installing thermal paper, without ink and ribbon, and low cost.

2. Barcode printers also get the printing effect by heating the print head thermal transfer ribbon, and sometimes it can replace the thermal printer.

3. The consumable used by the barcode printer is label ribbon, and the paper can be ordinary paper or self-adhesive paper. The thermal receipt machine only uses thermal cash register paper, no other consumables. There is also a small ticket machine like Epson's small ticket machine that requires ribbon and cash register paper, and can also print single-layer paper or double-layer paper. But the barcode machine cannot be double-layered. In addition, the main purpose of the barcode machine is to print barcodes. For example, the serial number of 00001 can be printed, but the small ticket machine does not have this function.
