Compact 80 mm thermal receipt printing with USB and serial connectivity.
The POS-X ION Thermal 2 is a compact direct-thermal receipt printer for retail and hospitality counters. Its front-loading paper path, drop-in roll loading, and wall-mount capability provide flexible placement when counter depth or overhead clearance is limited.
