[The challenge]
Mobile printing has to balance battery life, connection stability and print quality in cramped, moving spaces. A printer that drops its connection or runs out of power stops the transaction.
[Architecture]
How the system fits together
The printer is engineered as part of the transaction flow: device firmware, the connected host and back-office services share one data model, so what is printed always matches what is recorded.
