Choose a POS printer by checking the POS software, connection method, print volume, receipt format, paper requirements, operating environment, cash-drawer connection and available support. Confirm the printer interface and driver requirements before ordering.

USB, Serial and Network POS printers use different connection methods. USB is commonly used for a direct connection to a nearby terminal; Serial may be required by an existing POS system; and Network printers can be shared or addressed through a business network. Confirm the POS terminal ports, software support, cabling and network configuration before choosing an interface.
