The following hardware types are commonly used with the POS system:
- Receipt Printers
Receipt printers, specifically thermal printers, are essential for generating customer receipts quickly and quietly. They do not require ink and are widely used in retail and hospitality for their speed and reliability. - Cash Drawers
Cash drawers securely store cash, coins, and receipts. They are often connected to a receipt printer and open automatically when a cash transaction is processed. - Barcode Scanners
Barcode scanners capture product information instantly by reading barcodes. They reduce manual entry errors, speed up checkout, and support both 1D and 2D barcode formats.
Label Printers
Label printers produce adhesive labels for products, shelves, or shipping. Thermal label printers are most common in retail for printing barcodes, pricing, and inventory tags.
