POS System
and Receipt Printer
Get professional receipt printing included with every National Retail Solutions (NRS) POS system. No separate equipment to buy, no drivers to install, no compatibility issues to solve.
What is a
Receipt Printer?
A receipt printer is a specialized device that produces transaction records for customers. Modern point of sale receipt printer software transforms these simple records into powerful marketing tools featuring custom logos, promotional messages, and professional branding.
Thermal vs. Other Technologies
Thermal Receipt Printers use heat to create images on treated paper, eliminating ink cartridges and ribbons. This makes them faster, more reliable, and cost-effective for retail environments. Our point of sale thermal receipt printer technology ensures crisp, clear receipts every time.
Impact Printers use pins striking inked ribbons, but are slower and noisier than thermal alternatives. Most businesses have upgraded to thermal technology for better performance. Why Thermal Receipt Printers Dominate:
- Faster printing - No ink application delays
- Lower maintenance - Fewer moving parts mean fewer failures
- Cost-efficient - Only requires thermal paper, no ink cartridges
- Quiet operation - Maintains professional store atmosphere
- Superior print quality - Crisp text and graphics
What Connectivity Options
Do Receipt Printers Offer?
Modern receipt printers provide multiple connectivity options to fit different business needs:
USB Connectivity
The most popular option for small to medium retailers. USB connections offer plug-and-play simplicity, reliable performance, and fast data transfer. Our NRS thermal printers use standard USB connections that integrate immediately with POS systems.
Cash Drawer Integration
Professional point of sale system receipt printer setups include cash drawer control, which automatically opens the drawers upon transaction completion. Our systems support multiple drawer configurations with timing controls.
What Should You Consider When Buying Receipt Printers?
Selecting the right receipt printer impacts both immediate functionality and long-term operational costs. Here are the critical factors:
Speed and Volume
Requirements
High-volume retailers need printers handling hundreds of daily receipts without overheating. Consider your peak periods - can your printer maintain performance during holiday rushes? Thermal technology excels during busy periods because it doesn't rely on consumables that run out.
Paper
Handling
Most thermal printers use standard 3⅛-inch (80mm) paper rolls. Look for easy paper loading mechanisms and adequate roll capacity for your transaction volume. Larger rolls mean fewer replacements during busy periods.

Ink
Cartridges
Receipt printers sometimes come with hidden expenses. When choosing a printer, it’s important to consider the costs of ink cartridges, which can get pricey over time. The NRS receipt printer uses special thermal paper that requires no ink. From a convenience and cost standpoint, it’s efficient and a wise long-term investment.
Durability
and Maintenance
Commercial-grade printers feature robust construction for daily retail use. Thermal printers have fewer moving parts than standard printers, which means you won't have to worry as much about your receipt printer breaking.
Integration and
Compatibility
Your receipt printer must work seamlessly with your POS software. Integrated solutions, like the NRS POS system, avoid driver complications and compatibility issues. Consider how the printer integrates with cash drawers, scanners, and other peripherals.
