FEATURE | FUNCTION | BENEFIT |
---|---|---|
Die-cast aluminum frame |
Precision die-cast aluminum frame designed for durability and flexible configuration |
Light weight design allows for low total cost of ownership. |
Supplies loading diagram embossed into the frame |
Makes loading intuitive. No operator’s manual required. |
No diagram of the paper path to lose. |
Unique collapsible ribbon hub |
Designed for simple loading and unloading of ribbons. |
No cores to lose, time to load and unload ribbon reduced. |
3 button/3 LED control panel |
A combination of 3 control buttons and 3 LED status lights. |
Provide a wide range of user configurability and device status indications. |
Color coded component cues |
Components that can be touched, moved or adjusted are green and easily recognizable. |
Reduces operator training time. More intuitive. Novice users are less fearful of printer operations. |
Cantilever printhead mechanism |
Printhead mechanism is hinged to provide wide-open access. |
Easier to load ribbon and media, easier to clean printhead for longer life. |
Flash memory |
DPL and printer firmware can be upgraded or enhanced without the need for modifications to the printer or electronics. |
Easier to remain current. Updates can be made to the printer without the need for replacing EPROMS. |
Windows printer driver |
Windows applications have the ability to use the M-CLASS as a Windows printer. |
End-users can choose which application software to use with the M-CLASS. |
DPL |
Utilizes the Datamax Printer Language. |
Many existing applications support Datamax Printer Language. |
Field installable options |
Cutter, Peel and Present, and Present Sensor simply plug into the front of the printer. |
Not necessary to “disassemble” the printer just to add options. Patent pending option installation automatically adjusts present distance. |
USB, Serial, and parallel communications |
Industry standard USB, RS-232C serial, and Centronics IEEE 1284 parallel ports included for host communication. |
Off-the-shelf communications cables can be used to provide printer/host connection. |
Clean electronics side |
Designed for quality – no belts to wear out, no springs and cables crossing each other. |
Printer is designed for reliability and serviceability throughout. |
Split ribbon supply hub |
Ribbon supply hub is split, allowing the proper back tension for all sizes of ribbons. |
Provides even tension to give smooth, wrinkle free, ribbon operation and prevent ribbon breakage. |
Improved fanfold capability |
Printhead mechanism is designed to easily accept fanfold media. |
Fanfold media feeds through back or bottom of printer, works right every time. |
All popular linear and 2D bar code symbologies |
Industry standard linear and 2D bar code symbologies are included. |
Commonly-used bar code symbologies are available and do not need to be added. |
