1.0 Introduction:
The Express Tag 6000 Compact Printer (hereafter referred to as the Unit) is a small footprint, fast, and versatile thermal
printer. The Unit is provided with an RS-232 Asynchronous Serial Communication port to interface to the host system.
The port is configured as DTE, requiring a null-modem cable for connection to a DTE host system. Additional interfaces
are available to connect to existing and planned host systems.
The Unit is designed to fit into ticket counter, gate counter, kiosk, and curb side podiums. The Unit can also sit on a
counter top, requiring minimum counter space.
The Unit’s transport mechanism accepts stock widths ranging from 1.87” (4.74cm) to 3.62” (9.19cm). With the optional
cutter, the maximum stock width is 3.50” (8.89cm). This allows the Unit to be used in baggage tag, boarding pass, and
cargo label printing applications. The Unit incorporates a manually adjustable self-centering input path.
If required, an optional roll stock mount is available. Also, an optional input path case is available to provide dust
covering for stock behind the stock entry point in environments where dust is a particular issue.
The Unit has an eight key front panel with four status LEDs and a 2x20 character display. When the Unit is in the online
state, the front panel keys can be used to vary the display contrast/intensity. The adjusted display contrast/intensity is
automatically saved to memory after a few seconds.
The Unit uses an autoswitching power supply, allowing automatic operation in both 110 and 220 VAC environments.
