Datamax-O’Neil
introduces the RL4 rugged 4-inch portable label printer
D
atamax-O’Neil, a global provider of label and receipt printing solutions, has announced what it
describes as an entirely new and ‘ground breaking’ 4-inch label printer, the RL4. This new offering is designed for rugged environments typically found in manufacturing, transportation and logistics applications. Combining flexibility and speed with easy integration, the RL4 has reportedly proven its superior rugged reliability by delivering labels even after a series of grueling tests.
Extensive market research
“Datamax-O’Neil conducted extensive market research and concluded that customers needed a portable label printer that could withstand the rugged environments typically found in manufacturing and warehouse operations,” said Paul Lehmann, director of product management for Datamax- O’Neil. “Up until now, they have had to rely on stationary label printers or inferior portable printers which aren’t designed to withstand harsh and often punishing conditions. We’ve built the RL4 for rugged portability,
and designed it so that it can be worn on belts or installed on fork lifts or carts to bring label printing to its needed destinations.”
“
to use and ready for integration into all the common barcode emulation languages and communication protocols.
The RL4 gives our partners an entirely new printer category and opens a variety of new opportunities to meet emerging application requirements, especially in manufacturing and warehouse environments”
– Paul Lehmann, Datamax-O’Neil. MIL-STD 810 drop tested
The RL4 is claimed by Datamax- O’Neil to be the only portable label printer to achieve the MIL- STD 810 drop standard, which requires 26 consecutive drops at 6 feet to concrete. In addition to its rugged design, it is also easy
The RL4 has a patent-pending design that provides the ability to load and unload media using only one hand. The printer’s optimised LCD was designed with input from usability experts. Integration is provided by ZPL, CPCL, DPL and IPL emulation. It is easily
compatible with Warehouse Management System (WMS) enterprise environments, including SAP, Oracle and AS/400 protocols, as well as many common label design software packages. The RL4 is compliant with WPA and WPA2 security and encryption protocols.
‘Entirely new printer category’
“The RL4 gives our partners an entirely new printer category and opens a variety of new opportunities to meet emerging application requirements, especially in manufacturing and warehouse environments,” Lehmann concluded. Orders for the RL4 can be taken immediately with shipments beginning in early January.
