Compact Direct Thermal Receipt Printer

The Cognitive TPG A798-220D-TD00 is a direct thermal receipt printer built for point-of-sale counters. It prints at 203 dpi with a maximum speed of 5.91 in/s and supports roll paper up to 3.15 inches in diameter. Connectivity is provided through serial and USB interfaces, and it operates on 24 V DC power. An automatic cutter is included for clean receipt separation.

Suits Standard POS Needs, Not High-Density Labels

This unit fits retailers and hospitality venues that need fast, reliable monochrome receipts on 3.15-inch wide thermal rolls. The 128 KB standard memory and 2 MB flash handle common barcode symbologies such as Code 128, PDF-417 and UPC variants. Buyers who require higher print resolution for small graphics or dense 2D codes, or who need wireless or Ethernet connectivity, should look at other models.

203 dpi Resolution Decides Fit

The fixed 203 dpi print head determines the sharpness of text, logos and barcodes on every receipt. If your workflow requires finer detail than this resolution provides, this printer will not meet the requirement. All other specifications scale around this core print density.

Questions about this item

How fast will a 6-inch receipt actually print at the quoted 5.91 in/s speed?

At 5.91 in/s the A798 prints a standard 6-inch receipt in roughly one second.

Does the USB and serial interface combo limit throughput on busy tills?

USB handles the 150 mm/s data rate easily; serial is capped by its baud setting but is adequate for standard receipt streams.

What counter space and roll size does the 5.30" X 5.70" X 7.30" footprint require?

The printer needs a 5.3 by 5.7 inch base and accepts rolls up to 3.15 inches in diameter.
