— printers designed for use on the go.A key feature of all such devices is the presence of autonomous power, usually from a built-in battery. Additionally, many mobile printers support Bluetooth (see "Connection"), which provides extra convenience when working with portable gadgets; however, this feature is not strictly necessary. In any case, these models are mainly intended for situations where it is not possible to use a traditional printer — for example, printing receipts in taxis and tickets in public transport, receipts for postal and courier delivery, etc. Technically, it is quite possible to use a mobile device in a stationary format, but in practice, this is unlikely to be justified: mobile printers generally have more limited functionality, and all else being equal, they are noticeably more expensive than stationary counterparts.
It should also be noted that all devices in this category are receipt printers (see "Type").
