Overview

Description

Portable printers are ideal for sectors like retail, hospitality, healthcare, warehouse management, transportation, and manufacturing, where they print various labels, receipts, and tags. This design offers a starting point for a smart portable thermal printer system, featuring a power-efficient MCU capable of managing all printing and user interface functions. The MCU is supported by modular connectivity devices for NFC, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.

System Benefits:

  • The MCU delivers best-in-class power efficiency, extending battery life.
  • Rapid prototyping options for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (LE), and NFC are available with Pmod™ evaluation boards.
  • Pre-certified Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE modules are available to reduce development time and cost.
