Thermal Printhead (TPH)
It consists of a line of tiny resistors that is electronically controlled to produce heat
for printing. For direct thermal printing, a TPH directly heats up an area of the
thermal paper to produce an image.
Stepper Motor
A stepper motor rotates certain degrees in each step-in response to an electronic
pulse.
Cutter or Peeler (Option)
A cutter is a guillotine cutter which automatically cuts the printed label. There are
two cutting types: full and partial. A peeler automatically removes the liner from a
printed label. The sensor on the peeler detects if the peeled label is taken away.
