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. The Compact4 series prints multiple sized labels from
1½ inches to 4 inches with exceptional print quality and barcode clarity. Models range from 200dpi to
300dpi for the ultimate in clarity and easy to read
barcodes.
Shelf Tagging
Shelf tagging has a critical role in any retail business.
Shelf tags tell stockers where to put the merchandise,
show customers the price, and advertise specials and
additional information about the product. Frequent printing
of shelf tags is critical for effectively communicating up-to-
date information to both personnel and customers.
Shelf Talkers
Shelf talkers emphasize information critical to making the sale such as specials and discounts. They are
larger than the usual shelf tag using their size to emphasize the message. They play a critical role in the
communication to the customers.
Item Labeling
Item labeling with information like pricing, barcodes, and unit of measure/size are
critical to the flow of products through the checkout process. A poorly printed or
missing label can cause the infamous saying, “Price Check!” The Compact4
printers take this technology to another level with features such as printhead
diagnostics (PHD) which prevents the printing of unscannable barcodes. The
Compact4 printers are available in 200dpi and 300dpi models for maximum
clarity and are able to print to high quality labels of all shapes and sizes to keep
the checkout lines moving smoothly.
Returns Tagging and Labeling
Returned items that can be resold have to be retagged and returned to the display floor. These labels and
tags come in many shapes, sizes, and materials, all of which can be handled by the Compact4 printers.
These printers generate professional looking tags and labels to get products back on the floor quickly.
