The Seiko APU-9347 printer includes a printer mechanism, auto-cutter, controller board and cabling in one compact unit.

Trident has a new compact high-speed digital thermal printer with a small footprint and plug-and-play installation, presenting an ideal solution for integrating into existing hardware such as kiosk terminals, ensuring the quickest possible time to market.

The Seiko APU-9347 printer from Trident includes a printer mechanism, auto-cutter, controller board and cabling in one unit sized just 165.15 x 301.25 x 177mm, excluding protrusions.

Plug-and-play installation together with features such as a range of pre-installed standard and two-dimensional barcodes simplifies system integration, and a page mode gives deployers a free layout of printed data.

Serial and USB interfaces are available with the corresponding drivers for Windows 2000 and XP.

A print speed of up to 200m/s and a resolution of 8dot/mm produce clear and precise printouts in vending machines, kiosks, ATMs and other rugged self-service applications.

The minimum service life of 1 million cuts and 150km total printing and a paper sensor which enables the unit to load the paper automatically ensure a high quality, reliable, durable and maintenance-free technology.

The paper roll holder can accommodate up to 10in diameter rolls in a range of thicknesses for economical printing and rapid delivery of receipts, tickets and labels.
