Description
A Thermal Receipt Printer Adapter/Printer Charger/Thermal Printer Power Adapter is essential. This 24V 2.5A power adapter provides a steady supply. Thermal printers need this for efficient operation. These adapters convert AC power to DC. This conversion ensures your printer works reliably.
Power Supply Specifications
This specific adapter has key output specifications. The output voltage is 24V DC. This matches the exact requirement for thermal printers. The output current is 2.5A. This indicates the maximum current the adapter can deliver. We calculate its total power output. It is 60 watts (24V × 2.5A). Therefore, the adapter must supply at least 60 watts.
Printer Compatibility
Many popular thermal printer brands use 24V DC adapters. These include Zebra, TSC, and Bixolon. Always verify your specific printer model’s requirements. This ensures full compatibility. For example, some Zebra models use this adapter. The Zebra ZD620 and Zebra GX430t are common examples. TSC printers like the TTP-245 or TDP-225 also use it. Certain Bixolon models, such as the SRP-350, also require 24V.
Crucial Adapter Features
The connector type is vital. Most use a barrel jack. Common sizes are 5.5mm x 2.5mm or 5.5mm x 2.1mm. Always ensure it matches your printer’s input. The input voltage must suit your location. Adapters should handle 110V-240V AC globally.
Polarity is also critical. The connector’s positive and negative must match. Typically, the center is positive. The outer casing is usually negative. Always verify this specification carefully. Look for certified adapters/Printer Charger. UL, CE, or FCC certifications indicate safety. They also confirm reliability and energy efficiency.
Purchasing Options and Alternatives
You can buy these adapters from specialized vendors. Stores like Takashi sell brand-specific 24V Printer Charger. Electronics retailers also stock high-quality options. In Nairobi, local computer accessories stores are a good source. Takashi Limited offers thermal printer adapters.
If a specific adapter is unavailable, consider alternatives. Universal power supplies with adjustable voltage can work. However, strict adherence to voltage and current is necessary. Incorrect power can severely damage your printer.
Example Adapter Models
Thermal Printer Power Adapter specific models exist for different brands. A Zebra Power Adapter (P/N: 26944-024) is a common example. It provides 24V DC at 2.5A. It uses a 5.5mm x 2.5mm barrel jack. TSC also offers a 24V 2.5A adapter. This suits various TSC desktop thermal printers. Bixolon provides a similar 24V 2.5A power adapter. It works with many Bixolon printers like the SRP-350.
Ensuring correct voltage of 24V Printer Charger, amperage, and connector is paramount. This guarantees your thermal printer’s performance. It also extends its operational longevity.
