Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
QuickPOS is happy to help customers choose the right product/solution for their business. Listed below are answers to some Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How long does it take for delivery?
First, it depends on the time of the order placed and payment received. If order is placed and payment reflected in our account by 10.30 a.m. it is shipped the same day, depending on the stock availability. It usually takes between 1-2 days within CBD Sydney and other cities closer to Sydney. Rural/remote areas of Australia take longer. While it is our endeavor to provide quickest service possible, we are dependent on external factors like carrier service, stock availability etc.

No. To protect your privacy, data entered during the checkout process is not saved until you click the “Confirm Order” button on the last page of the checkout.
Q6 – What is the best technology for printing bar codes?
Thermal label printers are ideal for bar code printing because they produce accurate, high-quality images with excellent edge definition. Thermal printers are engineered to print within tight tolerances and to produce the exact bar widths that successful bar code printing and scanning require. Each technology can produce one- and two-dimensional bar code symbology, graphics and text at the same print resolutions and speeds. For More information, visit Wikipedia’s page on barcode technology.
Q7 – Please explain the difference between Thermal Transfer Printing and Direct Thermal Printing?
Thermal Transfer (Prints with Ribbon)
A thermal transfer printer is a printer which prints on paper (or some other material) by melting a coating of ribbon so that it stays glued to the material on which the print is applied. It contrasts with direct thermal printing where no ribbon is present in the process.
Direct Thermal (No Ribbon)
A thermal printer (or direct thermal printer) produces a printed image by selectively heating coated thermochromic paper, or thermal paper as it is commonly known, when the paper passes over the thermal print head. The coating turns black in the areas where it is heated, producing an image. Two-color direct thermal printers can print both black and an additional color (often red) by applying heat at two different temperatures. Direct thermal media is more sensitive to light, heat and abrasion, which reduces the life of the printed material.
Q8 – Which labels should I buy?
With Direct Thermal printing no ribbon is used, the image is created directly on the printed material. There is a simple test to find out if you are currently using Direct Thermal labels: run your nail across the label and it will make a black mark on the label. The 1st measurement is the Width of the label and 2nd measurement is the Length.
Q9 – What is the difference between wax and resin ribbons?
Wax Ribbons are for printing onto paper labels, where the life of the label can be years but must be kept dry and must not be abraded or subjected to certain chemicals or oil, which would dissolve the wax image.
Wax-Resin ribbons produce a finer image on very smooth paper or coated paper labels. The printed image is much more durable than wax, but can still only stand slight contact with water.
Pure Resin Ribbons are formulated to print onto plastic labels such as polyester, polypropylene and vinyl. The “ink” is designed to slightly dissolve into or adhere to the plastic surface of the label
Q10 – Are power cables included?
Most printers sold by QuickPOS have the connection cable and power supply included. RS232 interface models usually require the power supply to be ordered separately.
Please refer to the product description or give us a call if you are not sure.
Q11 – Do you provide finance?
We are afraid, no. We will notify our customers when this service becomes available.
Q12- Do you provide volume discount for large orders?
Yes we do! Please contact us for a quote.
