8 Transfer Printer THT-BP Precision
1. Product Description
General Information
The devices of the BP Precision familiy are innovative printers which may be
used in either direct thermal or thermal transfer mode. They offer a high
resolution with virtually an unlimited variety of printout designs.
The center mounting plate is made of die-cast aluminum which makes it very
robust and resistant to bending.
By using 32 bit-processors from Motorola and the internal memory of 8 MB
(
BP Precision 200 / 300 ) or 16 MB ( Precision 600 ), very long large labels (up
to a length of 39 in / 1000 mm) can be printed quickly. As standard equipment,
the printers have a bi-directional parallel and a serial RS-232-interface. An
optional RS-422/485-interface, USB-interface or ethernet-interface can be
installed. The printers auto-sense which interface is actually used.
Furthermore the printers have a keyboard interface to connect a standard
keyboard as well as a bar code scanner. By using a memory card it is possible
to print and to enter variable data without any connection to a computer.
The ranging power supply (100-240VAC) allows the printers to be used around
the world without re-configuration.
The operation and usage of the printers is simple and comfortable. All printer
settings can be carried out with the Navigator Pad. To ease the operation the
active key is marked in the several operating modes.
The graphic LCD display keeps the operator constantly informed about the
current status of the printer.
The modular design of the printers guarantees efficient service.
A special feature of the
BP Presicion 200 / 300 printers is the possibility to
change between the 203 dpi-printhead and the 300 dpi-printhead easily, with a
minimum amount of time and effort.
For the printers a wide range of optional accessories like external un- and
rewinders, label/tag cutters, different peel-off modules and a tamp applicator is
available.
