Venture Computer, the sole distributor in Southern Africa for Tally Printer Corp, a long-time manufacturer of rugged, workhorse printers for commercial and industrial enterprises, and the leader in the development of line matrix technology, today announced the T6100 and T6101 line matrix printers.
"Tally not only achieves price/performance leadership, but also brings to market the lowest cost of ownership for products in this class", commented Richard Fearon, Business Development Director at Venture Computer. "Derived from the highly successful T6090 and T6091, the T6100`s are faster at 1020 lines per minute (LPM), and offer flexibility as enclosed pedestal or quiet cabinet configurations. At 49 dB(A) -- quieter than most laser printers -- the T6101 breaks the "quiet operation" record" added Fearon.
"For printing time-sensitive, high volume critical business documents at a very low cost, line matrix printers remain a viable solution," continues Fearon. "Tally understands the needs of this market, and with the T6100 and T6101 has set out to provide the best overall value as well as the most aggressive cost of operation possible.
Reliability is the primary benefit to be derived from Tally`s line matrix printers. With an unlimited duty cycle, the T6100 and T6101 are designed for long, unattended print runs of bar code labels, multiple part forms or heavy stock. Built to perform in harsh environments, these printers do well on a shipping dock or in a dusty factory, but can maintain office- quiet operation if necessary. Compatibility for industrial graphics and bar codes are included at no extra cost, while POSTNET bar codes can be printed at near text speeds.
The T6100 family comes standard with auto-switching parallel and serial interfaces; in addition, optional I/O`s allow for connectivity to up to four hosts simultaneously. LANPlex II or FourPlex options allow for both serial and parallel connections and either Ethernet 10/100 Base-T (LANPlex) or Twinax/Coax (FourPlex) connectivity. Optional IDPS over TCP/IP is also available, as well as IPDS for Twinax/Coax.
For optimum speed and throughput, the T6100 incorporates a proprietary controller featuring "Page Segment Architecture" which intelligently arranges data into page "segments" prior to printing. This eliminates the time-consuming forms reversal typically required when printing text and graphics, and allows both to be printed in just one pass.
The T6100 utilises Tally`s clean-hands ribbon cartridge. In contrast to the time required to change a reel-to-reel ribbon and the inevitable mess, changing a cartridge simply involves removing the old one and snapping in a replacement.
