Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA) today announced the release of the KR403 kiosk receipt printer, the first product in its new KR400™ series. The KR403 offers a range of printing solutions for self-service customer kiosks and can be utilized to solve a number of application needs such as couponing, bill pay and self-ordering at delicatessens and restaurants.
Designed for quick and easy integration, the KR403 has a compact footprint appropriate for space-restricted applications while also offering a wide range of printer and media mounting configurations. It also includes expanded memory, increased driver support and Zebra Programming Language command language, all of which allow for expanded integration capabilities. The KR403 is the only kiosk printer on the market offering Unicode-compliant encoding for international character printing. It features more fonts and bar code sets than any kiosk printer – including GS1 barcodes required in retail.
"Zebra has recognized the increase in demand from both retailers and customers for self-service applications to improve store efficiencies, and created the KR400 series to facilitate those companies looking to invest in this growing trend," said Michael Eneberg, product manager for Zebra Technologies.
The KR403 also offers capabilities that prevent paper jams, facilitating maximum printer uptime and reduced maintenance, and a retract-and-retain function to protect customers' private information by retracting any printouts left behind. Automatic remote alerts also perform diagnostic tests to help keep the kiosk up and running.
Available in North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa immediately, the Zebra KR403 kiosk receipt printer will be sold primarily through Zebra's channel partners.
