Receipt printers can be utilized to print receipts, labels, tags, and other in a similar fashion sized media at point of sale (POS) locations. Direct thermal receipt printers and thermal transfer receipt printers use heat instead of ink to print on coated thermal media. Affect and dot-matrix printers are suitable for printing on multi-part paper, such as receipts with customer and merchant copies. Some POS receipt printers can print in two colors to help draw attention to particular words or messages on the receipt. A parallel, serial, or USB port allows a receipt printer to be connected to a pc. An Ethernet port or wireless capabilities may enable it to be connected to a pc network. Receipt printers can be utilized at retail checkout counters and other points of sale.
