How we choose a correct printer port? What printer port do we need? When choosing a thermal receipt printer, Two of these questions have always been asked by our client: What kind of interface does your thermal printer have? what interface do I choose? Generally speaking, all thermal receipt printers have a cash drawer interface by default, and other interfaces are selected by customers according to their own needs. At present,the most poplular interface combinations are:

USB,USB+LAN,USB+LAN+COM,USB+Bluetooth,USB+WIFI, USB+LAN+WIFI，USB+LAN+COM+Bluetooth+WIFI

So how should we customers choose? These interfaces are actually like different roads. Although there are different paths, all roads lead to Rome. The data from the computer or mobile phone is sent to your printer by these roads, so the printer start printing process after they well received the data. If you use a computer to control the printer for printing data, you can choose USB, Lan(also name Ethenet or network)port, COM(also name RS232,serial)port, Bluetooth, WIFI; if you use an Android phone or Android tablet to control the printer to achieve printing, you can generally choose USB, Bluetooth, network port, WIFI; If you use IOS mobile phone or IOS tablet to control the printer to achieve printing, you can choose network port, Bluetooth, WIFI. You can choose your own corresponding interface according to your own needs. If you are not sure or didn’t know what would be better used, you can try to choose five interfaces, USB + network port + serial port + Bluetooth + WIFI, no matter what computer or mobile phone, basically covering all connection paths.
