Mobile application as early as in developed countries began to rise in the super market and logistics industry, if you have received the DHL, the federal service of large logistics companies(Printer Manufacturers), such as you can see each of their Courier with a hand-held terminals, at the same time of receiving the goods of all kinds of information input into the handset. In the supermarket, the handheld information terminal is mainly used for taking inventory and other work. In these early mobile applications, these handheld terminals were primarily used to record data. With the development of handheld information terminal, such as PDA, portable barcode data collector handheld terminals, mobile phones, Small Portable Receipt Printer, IC card and so on, in addition to the logistics, inventory, in tobacco, the public security traffic police, meter reading, insurance, urban city appearance management, health care, travel, card card management, WIFI POS Printer, catering and so on industry were beginning to record data, use of handheld information terminal to replace the original manual data record operations.
Along with the expansion of mobile applications, however, pure record data is not meet the increasing demand, a variety of functions and begins to be integrated into the information terminal, such as bar code scanning, contact/non-contact IC card read and write, GPRS/CDMA data communication function and so on, at the same time also appeared a variety of cooperate with external information terminal equipment, such as micro outer barcode scanners, portable miniature printer and so on.
This is a portable mini-printer for external devices.
With the improvement of technical level, especially in a variety of emerging low power electronic components and software product matures, portable computing devices (Thermal KIOSK Receipt Printer) is gradually began to has been applied in various industries.
Because technically leading developed countries, so soon in mobile applications, there is specially designed for mobile applications portable miniature printer, such as the famous American zebra company, France love over, and enjoys a high reputation in the field of micro printer recently EPSON, CITIZEN of the company are portable mini printer market.
Because the demand for portable paper to print the biggest domestic logistics industry development is not mature, the main focus of the informatization construction’s database system used for development, so there’s only a potential demand, it also makes a portable miniature printer appeared later than developed countries for several years.
Mobile applications in domestic are mainly distributed in the public security traffic police, meter reading, tobacco distribution, catering and so on industry, in the industry, traffic police, meter reading, tobacco distribution have documents, such as the traffic police in the law enforcement process requires administrative penalty notice, payment notice, tobacco distribution meter reading process to need order or delivery list, these documents can be carried through with the sound of the portable miniature printer, even if is a set of complete system for mobile applications, the documents print is indispensable. If traffic information in the process of law enforcement with hand-held terminals in order to query the driver and vehicle information without punishment record information, so obviously did not play its function, if records the punishment information but still have to manually fill out punishment notice, not artificially increase traffic police work, to reduce the work efficiency, so the mobile police system needs to be portable mini printer. And in the process of meter reading, if you are using a portable miniature print spot print payment notice, can maximize the use of existing resources to improve the work efficiency of meter reading, reduce the payment notice of delivery costs.
Although the current application field is not broad enough, as China’s logistics mature, the portable micro printer will also play its role in the logistics field.
