Datamax-O'Neil's new E-Class Mark III delivers three dimensions of value

Affordable to own, easy to use and economical to operate.

Zetes Media (formerly ProScan Media Products), a leading provider of labelling, coding and marking solutions, announces the availability of the E-Class Mark III, a totally new thermal desktop printer family that expands on the well-established and globally successful E-Class product brand.

The four-inch label printer family combines high value with features and options typically offered in more expensive printers.

Available in four distinct models, the E-Class Mark III has been designed to meet the broadest range of customer requirements and applications, including those in transportation, logistics, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, government and postal service.

The E-Class Mark III maximises customer investment value by offering a competitive purchase price, while providing increased durability by utilising proven designs and rugged double-walled construction. Fewer moving and longer-lasting parts ensure low maintenance requirements and superior reliability.

The printer comes equipped with numerous language emulations and a selection of connectivity options to make replacement of existing printers or installation of new printers an easy process. In addition, an intuitive LCD screen and quick loading of media and ribbons makes it simple for users to maintain.

The E-Class Mark III reduces daily operational costs by minimising power consumption with its stationary print-head design. The printer uses larger, more economical 300 metre ribbons that lower materials costs, and because the E-Class Mark III allows users to print only the number of labels that are required, there is no wasted media as experienced with laser or inkjet printers.

Roland Pinz, Managing Director of Zetes Media, comments: “Datamax-O'Neil conducted extensive market research and interviewed partners and end-users around the world, and their efforts paid off with the introduction of the E-Class Mark III. Customers from diverse industries will be able to select a printer and customise it with options that best suit their needs, all at a price lower than other printers in this category.

“The E-Class Mark III printer is a cost-effective printing solution for the South African market as it has all the features and options offered in typically more expensive products,” adds Pinz.

“Besides our traditional thermal printer customers, this range is an ideal upgrade for clients who are using laser and inkjet printers, as it offers lower maintenance costs, increased durability and more effective and hassle-free printing.”

The four printer models include:

Basic: For most bar coding applications requirements. It includes USB and serial ports with optional 300dpi, thermal transfer, and label peeler.

Advanced: For applications that require networking communications, faster print speeds, or special media handling. It expands on the Basic platform, but includes parallel and Ethernet communication ports, a positionable media indexing sensor and prints up to 5-ips.

Professional: For sophisticated applications that require a higher level of interface capabilities, higher performance, and wireless communications. The Professional expands on the Advanced platform and features a graphical display with a navigational menu interface, real-time clock, audible alarm, USB host connectivity, faster print speed, and optional wireless LAN and Bluetooth communications.

Professional Plus: For applications that require a large internal media capacity. It has all the features of the Professional, but includes a large internal roll, internal fan-folded media, and an optional cabinet lock.
