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. The paper path is slotted through the side of the

printer with no covers to open or clamshells to unlock. To load,

you simply slip the label roll onto the spindle, slide the media into

the slot, latch down the printhead and lock down the roll holder.

Loading media doesnʼt get any easier.

Large Media Capacity

The Compact4 Mobile printers have a higher media capacity than other mobile printers resulting in more

labels being printed between roll changes and less downtime. Additionally, there is a material cost

savings when you put more labels on the roll.

Designed for Mobility

The Compact4 Mobile has special features which allow it to withstand the constant vibration inherent in

operating a printer mounted to a forklift or cart. The specially designed media handling system includes

a spring loaded spool to keep media from unwinding and a paper guide with lever-locks to prevent the

roll from coming loose. Media remains secure even when mounted upside down or sideways yet is easy

and quick to change.

Printhead Diagnostics and Auto Correct

The Print Head Diagnostic Kit (PHD) allows the printer to send a warning when a printhead failure such

as a missing dot is detected, allowing the user to intervene and render service if necessary. The

Compact4 also includes a unique feature that allows the user to keep printing good barcodes in spite of

a missing dot. When printing a vertical barcode, the Compact4 auto-shift feature moves the barcode

slightly to the left or right where the dot-out falls in line with the white space of the barcode. This allows

the printer to continue printing scannable barcodes. Users simply designate a specific tolerance that the

barcode is permitted to move.

Vehicle Power Ready

The Compact4 Mobile printers are designed to accept the direct current (DC) power available on your

vehicle. Unlike competitorsʼ printers which claim to be mobile ready, the Compact4 Mobile printers can

handle the stress of power spikes and surges to keep printing reliably. The Compact4 Mobile printers

are ready to accept 24-48VDC. A standard “off the shelf” power converter can used on 12VDC systems

to provide 24VDC to the printer.
