Product Data Sheet / Brochure
Port covers are made of a
durable, rubberized material
to protect against external
environmental agents when ports
are not in use.
We’ve leveraged our historic
knowledge of rugged, portable
printers to ensure that the printer’s
circuit boards are well protected by
the RLe Series’ outer shell and
isolated sub-structure.

ROI of Ultra-Rugged
Ultra-rugged products are often overlooked because of the purchase price, but many studies have shown the cost
of implementing lower-cost hardware for professional use, especially in applications where products may be
dropped or bumped frequently, is much greater than the cost of purchasing ultra-rugged equipment. RLe Series
printers embrace abuse. They take the punishment outlined in the MIL-STD 810F standards, and continue to
operate flawlessly even after being dropped multiple times from a height of six-feet (1.8m) onto concrete.
Testing
One of the reasons we are able to include our two-year warranty is because of our extensive engineering
experience and rigorous testing.

Dual-wall construction and
rubber bumpers protect critical
printhead and platen roller alignment
by absorbing and displacing energy
when the printer is dropped or
bumped.
Die-cast magnesium bracket,
large stainless-steel hinge pin
and large gears further protect the
platen roller.
Unlike plastic or thin metal
that breaks/bends easily when
dropped, die-cast magnesium
latches provide the perfect weight-to-
strength ratio. Latches are
lightweight yet rugged enough to
endure repeated use and repeated
six-foot (1.8m) drops to concrete.
Robust media arms are
constructed using thick media
posts that won’t jam or snap off
easily. Large screws and durable
glides ensure that this moving part
will continue to operate trouble-free
for the life of the printer.
Arched design with rubber
housing protects the recessed
LCD screen and buttons. Internal
anti-shock and anti-dampening foam
further protects the LCD device.

Dropped again and again…
The RLe Series was tested
using military MIL-STD 810F
testing procedures which require
that the printer operate after
being dropped on all corners,
edges and faces for a total of
26 consecutive times. The RLe
Series passed MIL-STD 810F
testing from a height of six- feet
(1.8m) onto solid concrete!
Wear & Tear
Recessed latch and port covers
were opened and closed 30,000
times during testing to ensure
their integrity and long-term
reliability.
Environmental Temperature
Testing
The RLe Series was put through
exhaustive testing to ensure its
awless performance at extreme
temperatures including the
freezing environments common
in cold storage applications.
