Mobile Direct Thermal Printers

Mobile barcode printers are convenient for workers who typically serve others away from a desk. The hospitality industry, for example, often uses mobile Zebra thermal printers to take and print food or bar service orders table side. Mobile direct thermal barcode printers are also convenient for healthcare workers working at mass vaccination clinics, delivery drivers needing to leave behind a ticket, parking and law enforcement officers, mobile sales professionals, and more. Because these mobile barcode printers are used out in the field, they are small, portable, battery powered and connect to smartphones and tablets wirelessly. Both 2-inch and 3-inch mobile direct thermal barcode printers are available from leading brands like Zebra, GoDEX, TSC, Printronix, TSC, SATO, Datamax, Toshiba, Intermec, Honeywell, Brother, and Dymo.

Desktop Direct Thermal Printers

Desktop direct thermal barcode printers are more robust than mobile direct thermal printers, typically connecting to a desktop computer via USB. Desktop direct thermal printers are used for everything from printing shipping and address labels to small quantities of manufacturing barcodes, retail tags, receipts and invoices, bills of lading, healthcare labels, and more. With their compact size, desktop versions of these barcode printers can be placed virtually anywhere there’s a computer including at workstations, in mailrooms, in shipping areas, in office and healthcare lobbies, near small production lines, and more.

Industrial Direct Thermal Printers

With a rugged design, industrial direct thermal barcode printers are intended to be used in high volume production environments where printers print out hundreds and thousands of barcode labels each day. The industrial models are built to withstand the demands of a high volume environment. Industrial direct thermal barcode printers are available in various sizes and configurations including small units as well as 8-inch barcode printers.

All of the GoDEX, Zebra, TSC, Printronix, TSC, SATO, Datamax, Toshiba, Intermec, Honeywell, Brother, and Dymo thermal printers listed below use thermal technology to produce economical barcodes on demand in mobile, desktop, and industrial environments.
