Mobile printer produces 4in labels
Designed to withstand the rigors of manufacturing, warehousing and distribution environments, a mobile printer produces 4in labels at print speeds of up to 4in/sec.
Printer brings 'Xi' quality to industry labels
Believed to be the first high performance printer below GBP 2000 for labels up to 4-inches wide it offers all of the high-quality benefits of the Xi-series at a very competitive price.
Users can create a free-standing or networked labelling centre, simply by adding an optional keyboard display unit (KDU) or factory-installed Ethernet adapter.
"The new connectivity capabilities makes the 2746e printer ideal for companies that are new to barcoding and want to implement it immediately, with the minimum of fuss," says Chris Walsh, managing director of Zebra Technologies.
"Users also benefit from the added durability of the steel casing, allowing the 2746e to provide a full-size, affordable printing solution well suited to light industrial manufacturing and distribution operations," adds Walsh.
In addition, the 2746e features upgraded electronics and additional memory for increased label lengths.
This allows it to print individual, on-demand, or full-roll batches of labels, and prints labels up to 22 inches (559mm) in length, ensuring optimum performance.
The 2746e is fully compatible also with existing EPL II legacy applications, and is still only one of the only 4 inch (10.2cm) wide label printers that comes standard with label peel and rewind capabilities.
In addition, the 2746e offers a clean-lined appearance, compact footprint and new ribbon spindle design.
Commenting on these features, Walsh concludes, "Combined with the enhanced connectivity and additional memory, the 2746e significantly improves its price performance value over the older 2746 printer." Zebra solutions specialists are now accepting orders for, and designing barcode printing solutions based on, the 2746e printer.
