{"product_id":"tiny-thermal-receipt-printer-ttl-serial-usb","title":"Tiny Thermal Receipt Printer - TTL Serial \/ USB","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdd a \u003cem\u003ereally small\u003c\/em\u003e printer to any microcontroller project with this very cute thermal printer. Thermal printers are also known as receipt printers, they're what you get when you go to the ATM or grocery store. Now you can embed a little printer of your own into an enclosure. This printer is ideal for interfacing with a microcontroller or computer, as you just plug it in via \u003cstrong\u003eUSB\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eor\u003c\/em\u003e TTL Serial \u003c\/strong\u003eto print text, barcodes, bitmap graphics, even a QR code!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis package comes with a\u003cstrong\u003e CSN-A4L\u003c\/strong\u003e Mini Thermal Receipt Printer, a USB cable, a JST cable, and a 4-pin TTL cable. One 33' roll of thermal paper is also included! The printer uses very common 2.25\" wide thermal paper, and it can fit up to 33 ft of paper in the bay at once with a diameter of ≤ 30mm. The 33' long, 2.25\" wide Thermal Paper Roll in our store works perfectly!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have quite a few sizes of embeddable thermal printers, larger ones can hold more paper in the bay, but are of course larger. All are identical 'code wise', although some have slightly different baud rates. Check out our full range of thermal printers!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will also need a 5 to 9V regulated power supply, that can provide 1.5A or more during the high-current print - our 5V 2A switching power supply will work very nicely. You'll need to give that external power if you are using USB for power, you cannot power it over the USB cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe really like this printer because its easy to make \u003cstrong\u003eBold, \u003c\/strong\u003eunderline, inverted text, variable line spacing, left\/center\/right justification, barcodes in 11 standard formats with adjustable height, and even \u003cstrong\u003ecustom bitmap graphics.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, we wouldn't leave you with a datasheet and a \"good luck!\" - Our friends over at Adafruit have a full tutorial and matching Arduino library (inactive but still works) that demonstrates the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinting with small, medium and large text\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBold \u003c\/strong\u003e and underline text\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInverted text\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable line spacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft, center and right justification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarcodes in the following standard formats: \u003cstrong\u003eUPC A, UPC E, EAN13, EAN8, CODE39, I25, CODABAR, CODE93, CODE128, CODE11\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eMSI\u003c\/strong\u003e - with adjustable barcode height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom monochrome bitmap graphics!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to include a QR code\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're using the built-in USB chip instead of TTL serial, you can use our Python example code\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: This isn't a retail-level, professional printer!
