Introducing the Gemini Windows Barcode Printer
The
Gemini
is an innovative printer designed to work only in a Windows
environment. Instead of buttons on a printer's front panel, printer configuration
and control is provided by the Gemini Control Panel Application running under
Windows. The
Gemini
driver allows printing from almost any Windows
application, such as MS Word, Write, WordPad, Access® and Visual
Basic, as well as Lotus® Approach®, Paradox® and dBASE® among others.
Bar code labels can be created with existing Windows applications using the
special barcode fonts built into the driver, eliminating the need for special
labeling software.
Gemini
uses the true type fonts available with your Windows applications, and
accepts all graphic types supported by Windows, resulting in exceptional
flexibility in font and graphic choices. Fonts and graphics are downloaded as
needed with the high-speed bi-directional Centronics interface, providing an
exceptionally quick time to first label printing.
The
Gemini
is built to work only with Windows, and takes full advantage of
Windows features. Its simple design requires a minimum of effort and
expertise for loading and maintaining the printer. From configuration and setup
to ongoing operation, use of the online Gemini Control Panel Application
simplifies the operator's job. Extensive Online Help is provided covering all
features and functions available within the Control Panel Application and
Printer Setup. In addition, help topics covering 'Printing from Windows
Applications' and 'Barcode and Symbology information' are included.
The Gemini Thermal Transfer Printer is offered in two versions:
Gemini T :
The device is equipped with a tear-off edge to aid the removal of
the labels or continous material by hand after printing.
Gemini TD :
This device has an additional dispensing feature for labels.
Directly after printing the label is removed from the liner and
placed in a dispense position ready for further use. The
presence of a label in the dispense position is regognized by a
sensor which interrupts the printing until the label is removed.
Both versions are available as 230 Volt or 115 Volt devices.
