Datamax Performance Series

Intelligent Industrial Thermal Printers

The Performance Series is an innovative family of printers that is easy to load, use and integrate. The Performance Series printers offer superior print quality, auto-load capabilities, unparalleled print registration, a zero label waste auto-loading design and uses an industry standard printing language: PCL. Standardized to run on a variety of operating systems, the PCL printer language is independent of any application software running on a computer. This ensures faster and easier plug-and-play integration into SAP® and other network environments.

A highly intuitive user-friendly color touchscreen makes setup and performance enhancements as simple as 1-2-3. The printer provides front-panel print quality adjustments, automatic media calibration and loading, as well as ribbon-tensioning controls.

The Performance Series printers are manufactured to the highest standards and feature a die-cast frame and metal cover, ideal for industrial environments. Available in 105.7 mm (4.2 in) or 173.5 mm (6 in) label-printing capabilities, the thermal printers also can print at speeds from 152 mmps(6 ips) to 254 mmps (10 ips) and from 300-dpi to 600-dpi to meet the most diverse requirements.
