Arduino Serial Thermal Printer Description:

This is an embedded mini Thermal printer, Adafruit Mini Thermal Printer Serial Communication Can Attach with any Microcontroller Also can use as receipt printer, Use With Arduino also which is widely used in various occasions, such as supermarkets, convenience stores, post office, bank and so on. It is not a normal consumer product, but similar to consumer products. The compact size makes it easy to be embedded to any kinds of instruments and meters. With a nice appearance, you can even put it on the table. On the hardware side, we specially choose the TTL interface so that it can be directly controlled by development boards such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi. In the Internet of things era, it’s time to print out your ideas!.

A thermal printer typically contains at least these components:

• Thermal head: Produces heat to create an image on the paper
• Platen: A rubber roller which moves the paper
• Spring: Applies pressure to hold the paper and printhead together

Thermal paper is impregnated with a solid-state mixture of a dye and a suitable matrix, for example, a fluoran leuco dye and an octadecylphosphonic acid.

When the matrix is heated above its melting point, the dye reacts with the acid, shifts to its colored form, and the changed form is then conserved in metastable state when the matrix solidifies back quickly enough, a process
