<High-speed, high-quality printing>
This printer can be used for high-speed high-quality printing thanks to its direct thermal method
and thermal transfer method that use a line thermal printhead together with its 32 bit RISC CPU
and its ‘history control IC’.
<Easy operation>
• It is easy to change the printer’s settings on the operation panel, thanks to its unique and
simple VuePrint menu system.
• Its high-lift printhead and mechanism means that media and ribbon can be loaded with
ease and it is constructed for easy thermal printhead cleaning, etc.
• Media width adjustment, media thickness adjustment, and media sensor adjustment can
all be made easily by the user using the colour-coded operator controls.

detect the language using the Cross-Emulation
TM

An industry standard RS232 serial port and USB2.0 port are standard equipment, for quick
data transfer and printing.
<Optional interface>
Additional connectivity is available with an optional internally-housed IEEE1284 parallel port,
an Ethernet interface and a wireless LAN print server.
<Optional auto-cutter / peeler unit>
The auto-cutter and peeler units are designed so that they can be installed easily.
<Adjustable sensors>
The adjustable media sensors - which allow the sensors to be positioned in dierent

special media.
<Installation>
The interface, power switch etc. are installed towards the back and the top cover opens and
closes vertically so that the sides of the printer are not restricted.
