Desktop barcode printers are generally smaller than industrial barcode printers. They are referred as "desktop" because you might find them on someone's desk. They are usually lightweight and hold less labels and are less expensive.
Many "desktop" barcode printers are direct thermal and use direct thermal labels or tags. Only a few are thermal transfer (using thermal transfer ribbon). The Toshiba TEC B-SV4D shown on the left is a inexpensive, direct thermal, desktop barcode printer. It has a 4” wide printhead and holds a 5 inch roll of labels and is designed for lower volumes. Most Toshiba desktop barcode printers have 4 inch printheads.
