Bixolon adds B-gate solution to its mPOS series

November 27, 2017

Bixolon Co. Ltd., a mobile, label and POS printer manufacturer, has added its SRP-Q300H 3-inch direct thermal B-gate mPOS printer to its SRP-Q300 series, according to a press release. Offering receipt and ticket printing from Android, iOS and Windows devices, the SRP-Q300H is designed to provide an mPOS solution with a smaller footprint.

The SRP-Q300H features Bixolon's mPOS hub B-gate. The hub connects to the host tablet device via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi wireless communication while supporting one charging port and up to four USB peripherals (scanner, cash drawer, customer display, RFID reader, scales, etc.). The hub eliminates the time and cost of developing multiple POS peripheral drivers.

The SRP-Q300H also prints receipts or online orders through native, web and cloud-based mPOS applications through its SDKs, allowing programmers to build mPOS printing applications.

The native app enables printing data from an installed native app of a smart device. Accompanying Bixolon's B-gate SDK's for Android, iOS and Windows, programmers can build mobile applications to control the printer and connected peripherals.

The web app enables printing data from a POS application on any smart device browser through a web server. With Bixolon's B-gate SDK for JavaScript, programmers can build web-based applications for controlling the complete mPOS solution.

The cloud server enables the ability to print data from a POS application through a cloud server to a designated printer. With Bixolon's SDK for JavaScript, programmers can build in-house applications as well as customer applications while using a cloud server controlling B-gate.

"The SRP-Q300 NFC Bluetooth functionality is ideal for initial printer setup and configuration with Android smart devices running on Android OS V3.1 or higher," John Kim, Bixolon director of marketing, said in the press release. "Enabling user convenience throughout the printer setup, the Bixolon Android Q300 utility software application on the Google Store provides exclusive pairing compatibility with the SRP-Q300."
