Carry, Charge, and Communicate
PrintPAD portable thermal printers work in the most rugged
environments to enable the hardcopy backup of digital information
and signature printing, as well as the generation of receipts,
tickets, and labels for a variety of applications.
The sleek, compact design of the PrintPAD allows users
to conveniently and securely carry their mobile computer,
communicate with the printer, and charge both the computer and
printer from a single source—all in one integrated package. It
reduces the number of parts a field service technician needs to
manage; instead of needing to have charging solutions for each
device involved in the printing process (or multiple handheld
balancing solutions for all devices), you simply have a printer and
computer in an integrated unit that you carry which provides you
easy access to everything you need.
With the PrintPAD, there’s no need to worry about the
communications link between the printer and computer. The
system provides ample security so that the elements aren’t
confined or difficult to access, yet aren’t so cumbersome that they
can’t be separated when needed. Charging the units is simple: just
drop the elements into a loading cradle, and the PrintPAD and
handheld terminal will automatically charge.
This innovation, another example of O’Neil’s commitment to continuous product improvement, is the latest of a long line
of O’Neil technological innovations in the mobile printing industry. These include:
• The first wearable belt-attached printer
• The first portable printer incorporating flash memory
• The first portable wireless lrDA compatible printer
• The first portable printer incorporating “C” fold paper
• The first portable printer with an integrated insertion magnetic stripe reader
• The first portable printer with an integrated insertion smart card reader
• The first portable printer featuring an unbreakable polyethylene case
• The first portable wireless printer with an 802.11b PCMCIA card
The PrintPAD continues O’Neil’s unparalleled reputation for product reliability. This is critical in terms of asset
protection, but also because equipment failure essentially disables operations in the field. On this parameter, O’Neil’s
leadership in reliability is well established within the industry. Bob Travatello, Chief Information Officer of propane
provider Blue Rhino, Inc, puts it this way: “Every one of the original O’Neil printers deployed six years ago is still out in
the field. We’ve added units because we are growing, but we’ve never replaced any. That’s quite a testament.”
