Introduction About Datamax Datamax, a subsidiary of Dover Corporation (NYSE: DOV), specializes in the design, manufacture, and marketing of products for bar code and RFID labeling, including thermal demand printers, label, ticket and tag materials, and thermal transfer ribbons. Headquartered in Orlando, Florida, Datamax has representative offices throughout the United States and in Singapore, China, and the United Kingdom, as well as label converting and preprinting facilities in Robinson, Illinois.
Markets and Applications The Compact4 printers have proven to be very successful in Europe and Datamax is committed to repeating that success worldwide. Below are just a few applications where the Compact4 printers have performed reliably for years. Distribution/Warehousing - Printing from the Forklift Companies that move a large volume of products and palletize their shipments have realized a substantial increase in efficiency by printing from Compact4 Mobile printers mounted directly on their forklifts.
Markets and Applications Distribution/ Warehousing - Printing from the Picking Cart A cart picking system allows the operator to work on multiple orders that are much smaller than those requiring a forklift. It is also used for inventory purposes to re-mark items and generate shelf locators. Incorporating a Compact4 Mobile printer into this system has allowed users to realize increased efficiency and a reduction in labeling errors.
Markets and Applications Healthcare - Hospitals Recent government mandates require hospitals to meet stringent standards for admissions and patient identification, as well as laboratory and pharmaceutical management. Hospitals are using the Compact4 printers to meet these requirements as well as improve efficiencies. Their compact design, ease of use, and long term reliability make them the perfect choice for hospitals.
Markets and Applications Retail Retailers have a multitude of label and tagging needs and are often faced with having to use different printers for each task: a portable printer for shelf labeling, a stationary printer for item labeling, and a mobile printer for labeling returned merchandise. The Compact4 printers allow retailers to print all their label and tagging applications from a single printer.
Markets and Applications Retail (continued) Receiving and In-Store Distribution The day to day business of selling retail hinges on getting items to the right place, right away. As soon as products are delivered to the store, the main concern is to get them on the shelf as soon as possible. In order for this to happen, one of two things must occur: - the pallet has to be broken down and the products delivered to the correct display area - the pallet is kept intact and delivered to the storage area.
Tour the Printers The Compact4 printers are designed for simple, uncomplicated, ease of use. There are a limited number of components that make learning how to use the printer easy and straight forward.
Selling Points Small and Mighty. Simple to Use. Build to Last. Small and Mighty Small Footprint The Compact4 printers have an incredibly small footprint which allows them to be used in applications where space is limited. Their compact size takes up less than half the space of a traditional desktop label printer. Orientation Options The Compact4 Mobile printers can be used in almost any orientation.
Selling Points Network Printer Management Using NetCenter, an administrator can monitor the status of all Compact4 printers on the network. This software tool, included with every Compact4 printer, allows the user to take full advantage of the LAN port. Simple to Use Easy Loading Loading the Compact4 printers is unlike any other printer in the market. The levers are large and easy to manage -- so easy that the operation can be done single handed while wearing a leather or latex glove.
Selling Points Universal Power Ready (Compact4) The Compact4 printers are all equipped with an auto-ranging power supply making them ready for use anywhere in the world. Unlike other small printers, the Compact4 printer does not require an external power converter (a.k.a brick) between the printer and the wall outlet. Simply plug the printer cord directly into the wall and you are powered to print.
Competitive Overview Compact4 printers are uniquely positioned between desktop and tabletop-sized printers. They share the same small footprint size of most desktop-sized entry level printers and the industrial grade ruggedness of table top-sized mid-range printers. They are the first to truly combine rugged reliability in a small footprint. Compact4 No competitor offers the industrial ruggedness of the Compact4 in such a small footprint.
Competitive Overview Compact4 Mobile The Compact4 Mobile printer is the only true vehicle mount solution. The printerʼs mechanical structure has been successfully tried and tested against the effects of shock and vibration. The printer is ready to accept DC voltage from 24VDC to 48VDC with electronics that are ready to handle the large variations in voltage and power spikes typical in a vehicle environment.
Technical Specifications Performance • Direct thermal printing technology • Resolution: 200 dpi (8 dots per mm) or 300 dpi optional (12 dots per mm) • Maximum print width: 4.1” (104 mm) • Print speed: up to 4.
Options/Accessories The Compact4 printers have several options available to help meet your specific requirements and enhance your printing experience. Refer to the subsequent pages for availability and compatibility. Tower Kit Unlike any other printer in the industry, the Compact4 printers can be stacked using the tower rack accessory. The rack is designed to maintain the footprint occupied by a single printer while allowing easy loading and printing operations.
Options/Accessories Cutter A heavy duty cutter option is available on the Compact4 printer. The cutter attaches to the front of the printer and cuts the material after it has stopped, allowing it to fall freely. The cutter option allows you to cut a label or tag to the desired length or cut between labels, so that the printed materials can be easily stacked. The heavy duty cutter allows reliable cutting through label and liner or card stock as thick as 180 μm (.007 inches).
