Desktop Printer Innovation

17. The NEW Datamax-O’Neil Performance and Workstation
thermal printers communicate using PCL, the globally adopted
printing standard of laser and inkjet printers.
PCL Thermal Printing Benefits over Laser
•Printing only what you need eliminates waste
•Thermal is 2 to 5 times more energy efficient than laser.
•Thermal has lower maintenance costs
•Thermal has higher label printing duty cycles
•There’s no need for custom drivers, software, or middleware
•There will be no future issues with updates or sustainability
Why PCL Thermal?

18. Total Printing Solutions
• The standard output from CRYSTAL REPORTS for
SAP, ORACLE, etc., making the IT Department’s
life easier
• Allows easy addition of .JPG, .TIF, .HTML, and .JIF
files as customers increasingly wish to add
drawings to labels
• Allows easy addition of PDF; important for
Healthcare and manufacturing where data must
be ‘locked’
• 50 Smooth scalable fonts allow the marketing
department to follow corporate standards
PCL Differentiators & Advantages

19. Differentiators & Advantages
• SAP default output is PCL
• ST SAP solution does not require Middleware
• Maintaining multi-language systems is easy
• ST SAP integration is simple & quick
The Best-Run Businesses Run SAP

20. Differentiators & Advantages
The standard operating system for servers- IT departments have LINUX skills in house
The huge LINUX ‘library’ means that drivers are available for almost any device
The LINUX community will be the first to write drivers for new devices
LINUX + USB Host = Stand Alone Applications

ST PRINTER

21. Differentiators & Advantages
Network Management :
ST PCL + Bi-Di allows the use of the same
Network Management Tools as today:
• ST printers visible on the network just
as any other printer
• No need to learn, install & run a
proprietary network management
system
Total Printing Solutions

22. New Industry Standard for Label Registration:
• No wasted labels because of poor registration
• Smart label guide automatically adjusts for optimal
print head pressure, maximizing printhead life
• Center Bias & Media Guide eliminates outside edge
adjustment
• ‘Label Whip’ eliminated by pinch roller and auto-
feed mechanism
Differentiators & Advantages

23. Total Printing Solutions
• ST has both Near Edge and Flat Glaze print
heads in the same family: optimal choice
depending on application
• Enables the printing of unique media, thicker
than normal.
• PCL gives the opportunity to support Managed

39. 2D Barcodes in Industry
• What is it?
• Who made it?
• How much is it worth?
• Where is it?
• Where has it been?
• Where is it going?
• Does it need maintenance?
2D Barcodes enable items to talk to us!
• Is it under warranty?
• Has it expired?
• Has it been recalled?
• Is it counterfeit?
