A Wi-Fi POS printer is better than a Bluetooth printer because it offers:
- Longer range: Works anywhere within the Wi-Fi network, not just a few meters away.
- Multi-device access: Multiple POS terminals can print to the same printer at once.
- More stable connection: Less interference and automatic reconnection after power loss.
- Remote printing: Can print from other rooms or even across branches on the same network.
In short — Wi-Fi printers are faster, more reliable, and more flexible for busy POS environments.
