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
