Expand Your Capabilities

H-Class printers are offered with a wide variety of options and accessories to meet the needs of many industrial applications. A complete list of options and accessories are available on the partner center. The most commonly used options are listed below:

	Thermal Transfer A printing method that uses ribbon to produce exceptional image clarity, as compared to most direct thermal media types. The 4-section split-hub design allows for lower torque on narrow ribbons. This option can be used with either coated-side-in or coated-side-out ribbons.
	Basic Peel & Present A simple "plate" style design that automatically separates most printed labels from the backing material and allows subsequent printing to occur only after the removal of a previously printed label. Minimum label length is 1.5 inches (38 mm).
	Heavy Duty Peel & Present (4" printers only) An internally "overdriven" design for heavy duty requirements using aggressive adhesive or polyester type media. Minimum label length is 1.5 inches (38 mm).
	Cutter Plug-and-play: attach the cutter and it is auto detected during power up. The rotary style mechanism is capable of cutting media from 0.0025” to 0.0100” (0.0635mm - 0.254mm) thick, and has a minimum lifespan of 500,000 cuts.
	Internal Rewind "X" Models: A heavy-duty label rewind option using a dedicated DC motor to tightly rewind a full 8" roll of labels and backing onto a 3" diameter core. Standard Models: A heavy-duty label rewind option to tightly rewind a partial 5.5" roll of labels and backing onto a 3" diameter core.
	Present Sensor An output control device that allows subsequent printing to occur only after the removal of a previously printed label.
	Linear Scanner This new design checks every printed barcode label. If unreadable it will automatically void the labels containing failed bar codes. Supports picket fence style bar codes.

Other options offered:

RFID - UHF and HF
GPIO interface
Wireless 802.11 b/g
SDIO / USB host interface (non-"X" models only)
MCL enabled
ILPC (Hangul, Simplified Chinese,and Kanji) font support

Industry Solutions for You

The H-Class is a perfect solution for industrial manufacturing, transportation & logistics, food & beverage, and pharmaceutical applications. Providing cost effective printing solutions is made easy with the H-Class. These printers offer a broad range of connectivity to meet diverse application requirements and easily integrate into any network. Modular construction increases up-time for the highest levels of user productivity.

	Industrial Manufacturing Manufacturers use H-Class printers for applications throughout their product lines for heavy duty 24x7 mission critical applications. H-Class is used for many applications including Asset tracking, work-in-progress labels, agency labels, and instruction labels to name a few.
	Transportation and Logistics The transportation and logistics industries use barcode labels in their distribution and warehousing facilities primarily for labeling shipments with critical shipping information. Because every shipment is different, the label printer must be able to handle the high demand with continually changing data. The H-Class is the ideal printer for the requirements in applications such as cross docking, shipping labels, pallet tracking, and in sorting centers.
	Food & Beverage Meat packing and food processing industries use bar code printers 24 hours and 7 days a week. Typical applications are to print high resolution labels, expiration dates, time stamps, product identification, and shipping labels. Many applications require wash down applications where the whole printer is placed inside a custom stainless steel cabinet.
	Pharmaceuticals Pharmacies use H-Class printers to print prescription labels. The labels containing critical information for the patient are adhered to the outside of the pill bottle or box of medication. Printing this information rather than hand writing avoids errors and misinterpretation which can lead to serious consequences. Most widely used applications include compliance labels, track & trace, and pick lists.
