Key Features
Features
Field Mobility
A built-in handle improves portability, while dual power options (AC or external rechargeable batteries) improves flexibility of placement and usage. The fully charged batteries can produce up to 1000 prints* before replacement.
* 20 mm length tube.
Printing from PC
The PC connectivity improves productivity and workflow by allowing user to manage large amounts of data on laptops or PC. The bundled PC Connection Kit application also supports CSV file formats, improving data conversion and productivity at different work sites.
Distributed Printing
When printing a large number of labels, printing can be done on multiple printers simultaneously from a single PC, reducing the total time required for printing.
*Compatible OS: Windows 10 and Windows 8.1. For Windows 11, the distributed printing feature will be available via a Windows 11 patch update in late 2022.
Automatic Full/Half-cut with Depth Control
Full/half automatic cut is selectable. Cutting speed and depth are also adjustable. The built-in robust cutter is capable of cutting large diameters up to 10 mm, and plastic plate strips made of thicker material, eliminating the need for tedious manual cutting after printing.
Media Versatility and Wide Range of Tube Sizes Supported
Print on a variety of marking media and sizes from Ø1.5 to 10 mm, including commercially available soft PVC or heat shrink tubes, label tapes and plates.
Long Ink Ribbon
The 150 m ribbon helps reduce operating costs, and productivity is improved with fewer interruptions during long print runs.
