The Printronix Range

IPT Printronix Range

Manufactured by Printronix, the industrial printer company that introduced the most durable and respected line matrix printer over 25 years ago, now comes this range of industrial grade thermal bar code printers designed for high print quality and reliable operation. The Printronix range is the perfect solution for the supply chain of industrial companies and distribution centres. It offers a wide range of features designed to make batch or on-demand bar code printing both human-readable and computer-readable.

What places these thermal printers a step above the competition? Printronix System Architecture (PSA) and PrintNet Enterprise. PSA enables the three print technologies to run the same application software. PrintNet Plus, the Printronix network management system, allows users to manage these printers worldwide from the network administrator's desktop. In addition, superb emulation of IBM SCS and IPDS is offered via integral Coax/Twinax and Ethernet interfaces.

This range perfectly complements the IPT Printronix Line Matrix range.

The IPT Printronix Range is the only thermal printer range designed specifically for the supply chain of today and tomorrow. Unsurpassed web-based networking, combined with the industry's only closed loop bar code quality control system, provide true best-in-class functionality. The IPT Printronix Range is a rarity: printers that makes your whole system function better, more efficiently, and more accurately.

  • PrintNet Enterprise allows remote management and control of printers quickly and easily. By installing the PrintNet Network Interface Card (NIC) into your T5000 and adding the Java-based Printronix Printer Management Software to your network, you can completely manage the configuration and operation of a single printer or a whole network of T5000 printers worldwide from any PC desktop. It is the ONLY truly global network management system for thermal printing.
  • Online Data Validation features read-after-print technology that carefully analyses every printed bar code to assure that it meets stringent compliance standards. This closed-loop bar code quality control system eliminates failures, which could translate into a rejected item, the need for manual correction, productivity delays or heavy fines. It even reprints faulty labels. The result? Increased system efficiency.
  • PSA2 system design ensures applications compatibility with Printronix line matrix and laser applications.
  • Compliance-certified on the GM1724-A Shipping Label Template... it is truly the ultimate printer for the automotive supply chain.
