What is a receipt printer?

A business needs a receipt printer to print customer receipts. A receipt printer can be easily connected to a computer using an Ethernet cable, USB, serial or parallel connection. There are ones that can even function wirelessly and do not need to be connected to a PC.


The way a receipt printer works is like this: The data to be printed is received from software downloaded on to the computer. The driver on the device detects the data and this is then printed by the receipt printer. There are receipt printers from various brands and of various types available in the market.
