Labelling in harsh environments
February 1st 2005 Intermec Technologies says its new EasyCoder PX series of heavy duty bar code label, ticket and tag printers meets the demands of highperformance, harsh industrial environments.
According to the company, the printers are built with sturdy metal chassis and covers and proven mechanics for reliability with an open, modular design that makes them easy to adapt, maintain and service.
Building on the EasyCoder 501 XP and 601 XP, the EasyCoder PX features a number of mechanical improvements including 203 dpi print resolution, as well as new powerful electronics.
The PX series prints instantly from first to last label at up to 12 inches-persecond, making it suitable for on-demand label printing applications requiring immediate results. Even when printing long series of compliance labels with significant variable data, the PX series prints quickly, says Intermec, which states that the combination of individually controlled microstep motors, dimensioned power supply, and new sophisticated thermal management printheads ensures highquality labels every time.
The printers are the first to integrate Intermec's SmartSystem, allowing them to communicate with the SmartSystem Console – which displays the status of the printer, provides access to configuration, eases installation of new printers, and assists in identifying printer consumables that require replenishment.
Up to seven wired and wireless interfaces can be used simultaneously eliminating connectivity restrictions and supporting additional devices, such as an automatic label applicator.
The printers, says Intermec, can be mounted in virtually any position More articles from Intermec Technologies UK Ltd: |
