The
new Datamax A-Class family of print engine products are
designed to include some of the most innovative features
ever found in a print and apply engine. These massive
stainless steel workhorses are intended to be an invisible
piece of a bigger part of production equipment, facilitating
the process of finalizing production through package identification.
The
A-Class consists of both 4-inch and 6-inch wide print
engines with 203, 300, 400 or 600 dpi resolution available
in both right- and left-hand models. The Datamax A-Class,
as a stainless steel product, is designed to address
the specialized corrosion resistant needs found in applications
such as the food processing industry. The A-Class was
developed for demanding multi-shift, mission critical
applications that require optimal throughput from an
easy to operate, highly durable print engine.
The
A-Class utilizes the same electronics card cage design
as is found in the popular Datamax I-Class. This allows
integrators to choose from a selection of connectivity
options to be easily inserted into the card cage. Options
include the DMXNet internal Ethernet LAN card, the DMXrfNet
internal 802.11b WiFi card, and others.
In
addition to a graphical display control panel, the A-Class
also includes the Datamax/MCL client which enables truly
intelligent applications to be hosted within the A-Class
itself. Print and apply integrators and OEMs will appreciate
the customization possibilities now available to them
through the use of the Datamax A-Class and its MCL application
development capabilities.
