Apollo 2 Label Printer
A STAND-ALONE PRINTING STATION...NO COMPUTER ATTACHED! If you’re concerned about the additional cost of a computer, saving work space, harsh environments for computers and training "computer" operators, then "cut the cord" from your computer with the APOLLO! USE A COMPUTER ONCE, AND SEND APOLLO ON ITS WAY! The new APOLLO from Tharo Systems is the first printer that lets you download a label format, or even graphics and a data base, to an optionally installed, industry-standard PCMCIA card, disconnect the printer from the PC and take it to a new location. Using the printer’s front panel or a standard computer keyboard, you can input data, specify the number of labels to print, and merge database information into your format...all without the PC attached! RUGGED CONSTRUCTION: Ruggedly constructed with a sleek, heavy-duty metal case, APOLLO is built for dependable performance in demanding conditions. IMPECCABLE PRINT QUALITY: Works with all the available TrueType fonts and most Windows graphics formats so you can create dramatic labels with impeccable graphics and print quality. APOLLO supports PCX, IMG, BMP, GIF, TIF and MAC graphics formats! APOLLO HAS 3 SCALABLE INTERNAL TYPEFACES! While most label printers offer 1 resident scalable font or none at all, the APOLLO features 3 printer-resident scalable typefaces! All Western and Eastern European Latin characters are also resident in the APOLLO. Greek and Cyrillic are not resident, but can be printed as TrueType fonts. INTERNATIONAL OPERATION! Ideal for international companies, the back-lit LCD display provides quantity count down, printer configuration, status messages, data input and operator prompts in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Finnish! EASY RIBBON AND LABEL LOADING: Easy side-loading design eliminates tiresome media threading. EASY PRINTHEAD MAINTENANCE: Printhead leveling, adjustment, cleaning and replacement is a snap! FLEXIBLE SENSOR DESIGN: The moveable "see through" or reflective sensor is ideal for sensing any type of media, including tag stock with a black sensing mark, circles and elipses. |
Apollo 3 Label Printer
HIGH-SPEED 32-BIT PROCESSOR...2MB RAM! APOLLO is faster, with much more standard RAM than any label printer...ideal for downloading TrueType fonts or graphics. APOLLO WORKS GREAT ATTACHED TO YOUR COMPUTER TOO! For systems integration APOLLO is one of the easiest to interface printers in the world. Serial up to 57,600 baud, Centronics parallel, and RS-485 networking interfaces are all built-in to the APOLLO. These interfaces, along with the fact the APOLLO programming language requires no control characaters, allows interfacing with virtually any system including minis, mainframes and UNIX. INTERNAL CLOCK for time/date stamps on labels. ADDING-ON OPTIONS HAS NEVER BEEN SO EASY! Unlike many printers, adding options like a tear plate, cutter, external rewind and present sensor is extremely easy with the APOLLO. A simple turn of a lever is all that is required. OPTIONAL INTERNAL REWIND: Our patented mechanism for attaching media to the internal rewind is faster and easier than any internal rewind you’ve ever used! PRINT ON ALL TYPES OF LABEL MEDIA Thermal/thermal transfer roll-fed, die-cut, continuous or fan-fold labels, tags or tickets on standard 8-inch diameter rolls. Print labels on a variety of materials including polyester, mylar, vinyl, polypropylene and tamper-evident label stock. SUPERIOR ENGINEERING APOLLO was designed with fewer moving parts and long-term advantages. For example, the print head and other user serviceable parts are far less expensive to replace than comparable printers, so long term costs are lower. Have your technicians check out APOLLO...they will appreciate its’ superior engineering! YOU WON’T FIND APOLLO ANYWHERE ELSE: APOLLO is the result of a technical joint venture between Tharo Systems, Inc., of the United States and CAB of Karlsruhe, Germany, and our combined knowledge in engineering and manufacturing high quality labeling products. SUPPORTS ALL POPULAR BAR CODES supports all the popular bar codes, including UPC/EAN, Code 39, Code 128 and Interleaved 2 of 5, and as well as two-dimensional symbologies like PDF417. |
