Retail Equipment for Your Store: What to Choose?

Experienced entrepreneurs plan the installation of inventory management software and the purchase of POS equipment right from the moment they open a store.
Those who have long operated without automation eventually feel the burden of manual processes and decide to make changes. The choice usually begins with retail equipment. Entrepreneurs want to know: which barcode scanner, receipt or label printer to choose?

First, understand why you need retail equipment

Retail equipment is used to speed up and replace routine processes: so you don’t have to write sales in a notebook, handwrite price tags, fill out receipts manually, or close the store for three days for inventory.

The internet offers many models from European and Chinese manufacturers. It’s easy to get confused among lesser-known brands. It’s not immediately clear which brand is "good" or "bad." The specifics of POS equipment are such that there are no universally "good" or "bad" brands. Each type of business requires its own model.

Retail equipment is selected depending on the size of the business: based on the number of visitors, retail points, quiet hours, and peak time load.

Retail Equipment for a Small Store

Universal Label and Receipt Printer Savio TLP SV-58127U

If you have low daily turnover (up to 500 product items) and a moderate visitor flow that does not require continuous receipt printing, the universal printer Savio TLP SV-58127U is suitable. This printer prints both receipts and labels, but not at the same time: first you print labels upon product arrival, then switch to receipt paper and print receipts.

Advantages:

• Prints up to 500 price tags per day.
• Print speed — 10 cm/sec: a regular receipt is printed in one second.
• Print quality is comparable to more expensive printers.
• Cost-effective: one printer instead of two.
• 12-month warranty from Torgsoft.

Disadvantages:

• You need to switch rolls between receipts and labels for receiving and selling.
• Not designed for high-intensity continuous operation throughout the day.

Netum W3 Scanner

The wired Netum W3 scanner transmits data to the inventory software where full product information is displayed.

Advantages:

• Quickly reads barcodes using an LED beam from monitors, smartphone screens, slightly worn labels, and rounded surfaces such as paint cans or water bottles.
• Drop-resistant: the reading system remains intact if the scanner falls from a table.

Disadvantages:

• Wired — connected to a computer, limiting the “sales radius” by cable length.

GPrinter GP-3120 Label Printer

For receiving 3000 items per day, the GPrinter GP-3120 label printer is suitable.

Advantages:

• Optimal load — prints up to 3000 labels per day.
• Maximum label width 76 mm: prints wide price tags that can include more information.
• Print speed 13 cm/sec: prints a wide label in one second.

Xprinter XP-C58H Receipt Printer

A great addition to this set is the Xprinter XP-C58H receipt printer.

Advantages:

• Print speed 12 cm/sec: prints a long receipt in 2 seconds.
• Automatic receipt cutter — no need for manual tearing or scissors.

Disadvantages:

• Supports receipt width up to 58 mm — prints narrow receipts. However, with Torgsoft software, a fiscal receipt can still be printed on this size paper using software ECR.

The Xprinter XP-C58H is suitable for printing receipts, tickets, and vouchers in retail and wholesale, service businesses, beauty salons, and service centers.

Netum W6-X Wireless Scanner

The last device in this kit is the Netum W6-X scanner.

Advantages:

• Scans various barcodes: worn, on curved surfaces, or from screens.
• Battery lasts 3 hours or 30,000 scans.
• Wireless — move freely within 100 meters of the store or warehouse without being tied to a computer.
• Buffer mode — stores up to 2,000 barcodes if disconnected from the program.

POS Equipment for Supermarkets, Warehouses, and Manufacturing

This POS equipment can handle heavy loads: daily intensive goods receiving, high visitor flow, and operation in production environments.

TSC TE200 Label Printer

The TSC TE200 label printer is preferred by companies engaged in manufacturing.

Advantages:

• Prints on both paper and fabric labels — useful for garment and textile production.
• Thermal transfer printing with ribbon ensures durability against shipping, light, and water.
• Prints up to 4,000 labels per day — allows receiving or repricing up to 4,000 items daily.
• Supports 108 mm wide labels for marking large boxes, pallets, and shelves — ideal for warehouse tracking, logistics, and shipping.

• Durable — withstands drops from a table.

Xprinter XP-Q200 II Receipt Printer

Pair it with the Xprinter XP-Q200 II receipt printer.

Advantages:

• Supports 80 mm wide paper — suitable for printing fiscal receipts using software ECR.
• Automatic receipt cutter.
• Print speed 20 cm/sec — prints a long receipt in 2 seconds.
• Protected from moisture, dust, and temperature fluctuations.

Datalogic QuickScan QW2100 Scanner

The set is completed with the Datalogic QuickScan QW2100 wired scanner.

Advantages:

• Reads wide and narrow barcodes at angles and from varying distances.
• Green Spot™ technology — indicates successful scan with a green light instead of a beep.
• Shock-resistant. Molded rubber housing protected from moisture and dust, with impact-resistant plastic that withstands falls from 1.5 m.
• Reads barcodes from discount cards, smartphone screens, and monitors.

To perform inventory or sales outside the store — in a warehouse or on a terrace — you can use the buffer mode Netum NT-C6 scanner. It allows you to scan barcodes in the warehouse and then transfer data to the accounting software via Bluetooth. Sales, inventory, mobile retail, and employee check-in/out become easier and save staff time.
