Print solutions targeted to different environments

Different industries have different working conditions, and yet their printing solutions have followed a one-size-fits-all approach. Until now.

With the introduction of the Printronix T2N series of thermal bar code printers, The Printer Distribution Company (PDC) now offers a wider range of thermal bar code printers targeted to different business environments. "The T2N satisfies the most cost-conscious buyer sourcing for a reliable entry-level printer, while other models in the portfolio address the needs of midrange and high-performance applications," says Frikkie Koegelenberg, Chief Commercial Officer at PDC.

Priced below competitive models, the T2N series comes standard with Ethernet connectivity and design features that enable faster installation. The introduction of the T2N provides an opportunity for distribution, logistics, manufacturing, retail and healthcare companies to adopt thermal bar code printing technology at the lowest cost available. The T2N provides the best value in the market, aggressively priced at R7 499 excluding VAT.

"Printronix created the T2N series to bring thermal bar code printing to budget-minded buyers who don't want to sacrifice quality. In this entry-level industrial printer segment where Printronix did not compete previously, the T2N offers outstanding performance and standard features usually not found in this price range," Koegelenberg explains. "Printronix designed the T2N to meet the needs of customers in a wide variety of industries, and complements Printronix's successful line of midrange and high-performance bar code printers."

The compact design of the T2N occupies a small footprint for easy installation, making it ideal for environments where space is limited. It measures a mere 28cm by 43cm and weighs only 10kg. The series includes direct thermal and transfer thermal printers with print speeds of up to 6ips, and offers PGL, ZGL and EGL emulations. Serial, USB and Ethernet connectivity comes standard, as does 32MB SDRAM and 8MB flash memory; an SDMC slot is available for memory expansion as well as to add the optional Andale or DBCS fonts. The T2N features 450M (1 476 feet) side-loading ribbon capacity.
