TORRANCE, Calif. — Seiko Instruments USA Inc. has introduced the APU-9347 3-inch direct thermal kiosk printer.
Developed for self-service applications, the printer delivers a minimum 150 kilometers of output and 1,000,000 cuts, representing a 50-percent life span improvement for the print mechanism and auto-cutter.
"The APU-9347 is a product of our commitment to listening to what customers want and developing innovative solutions to meet those needs," said Bob Falco, manager of Seiko Instruments Micro Printer Division, in a release. "The APU-9347 is an extremely reliable and cost-effective direct thermal printer for kiosk and ATM self-service applications."
Requiring no additional parts to support a 10-inch diameter paper roll, the printer accelerates transaction times with up to 8-inches (200 millimeters) per second print speeds, using tension control and a brake mechanism to avoid paper jams and wrinkled or illegible output.
The unit offers 203 dpi resolution, and supports a wide range of paper thicknesses and formats, for printing receipts, tickets, and labels. Connectivity is by USB or serial.
