In the fast-paced world of retail and field services, the ability to generate a physical receipt instantly is more than a convenience—it’s a necessity. At Techpuram, we have spent over 10 years perfecting the bridge between Android devices and thermal hardware.
Whether you are using a portable device for on-the-go collections or a high-speed stationary setup, our suite of tools ensures you never miss a print.
1. Understanding the Core: What is ESC/POS?
Most thermal printers today rely on the ESC/POS (Epson Standard Code for Point of Sale) command system. These are a series of escape sequences used to control printer behavior, such as cutting paper or centering text.
For example, to initialize a printer and clear the buffer, our apps send the Hex sequence 1B 40. 1Our flagship app, Simple Bluetooth Printer, handles these complex Hex sequences in the background, allowing you to print PDFs, images, and text without writing a single line of code.
2. Bluetooth vs. USB: Which is Right for You?
Choosing the right connection protocol depends on your business environment.
The Power of Dual Connectivity
For businesses that need maximum flexibility, Bluetooth – USB Printer Plus is the industry-leading choice. It allows you to switch between:
- Bluetooth (BLE & SPP): Best for total mobility in cafes or mobile kiosks.
- USB Printing (OTG): Best for high-volume retail counters where near-zero latency and a rock-solid wired connection are required.
3. High-Fidelity Graphics: The 203 DPI Standard
One of the biggest challenges in thermal printing is maintaining clarity for logos and QR codes. Most mobile printers operate at 203 DPI (Dots Per Inch).
If an image is not scaled correctly, QR codes become unscannable. Our Thermal Image Printer app uses advanced algorithms to ensure that every logo and barcode is rendered with pixel-perfect precision, regardless of the printer brand.
4. Solving the “Field Collection” Problem
For field agents, the biggest hurdle is poor connectivity. A cloud-based system will fail in a basement or a rural area.
Our Collection App follows an Offline-First Architecture. Agents can process collections offline and print receipts via Bluetooth immediately. Data is then synced securely to the server once they return to a coverage area.
