| The new Datamax A-Class family of print engine
products are designed to include some of the most innovative
features ever found in a print and apply engine. These massive
stainless steel workhorses are intended to be an invisible piece
of a bigger part of production equipment, facilitating the process
of finalizing production through package identification. The
A-Class consists of both 4-inch and 6-inch wide print engines with
203, 300, 400 or 600 dpi resolution available in both right- and
left-hand models. The Datamax A-Class, as a stainless steel
product, is designed to address the specialized corrosion
resistant needs found in applications such as the food processing
industry. The A-Class was developed for demanding multi-shift,
mission critical applications that require optimal throughput from
an easy to operate, highly durable print engine.
The A-Class utilizes the same electronics card cage design as
is found in the popular Datamax I-Class. This allows integrators
to choose from a selection of connectivity options to be easily
inserted into the card cage. Options include the DMXNet internal
Ethernet LAN card, the DMXrfNet internal 802.11b WiFi card, and
others.
In addition to a graphical display control panel, the A-Class
also includes the Datamax/MCL client which enables truly
intelligent applications to be hosted within the A-Class itself.
Print and apply integrators and OEMs will appreciate the
customization possibilities now available to them through the use
of the Datamax A-Class and its MCL application development
capabilities.
