Datamax M-Class Barcode Printer

M-Class printers are ideal for applications such as:

Datamax is poised to revolutionize the thermal printing industry again with the introduction of the M-4206 printer. The M-4206 is the first in a series of printers in the new Datamax M-Class product line. The M-Class offers users a durable, technologically advanced thermal printer with the design principles that have proven successful in other Datamax printers, in a smaller footprint for use in emerging market applications. The M-4206 is a feature-rich printer built with a modular design and die-cast construction, creating a desktop/light industrial performance printer at a value price.

As thermal printing expands to use within more industry applications, Datamax is maintaining a leadership position in printer design with the M-4206. The M-4206 is built on a uni-frame, die-cast aluminum chassis to increase the printer's durability throughout a lifetime of high performance output. The truly modular design of the M-4206, unique to Datamax printers, allows for options to be installed and removed in the field. The versatility offered by Datamax printers is unparalleled in the thermal printing industry. Datamax builds products that provide value and cost savings to our customers, and the M-4206 continues this legacy.

While the design and construction of a thermal printer is key to its durability, the ability to interface the printer to an existing or new system is key to a seamless integration into any application. Standard connectivity interfaces for the M-4206 include an RS-232 serial port, an IEEE 1284 compliant, bi-directional parallel port, and a USB port. Ethernet users have the option of installing an external Ethernet connection to the printer's parallel port. Datamax also offers DMXConfig, a desktop configuration tool that allows users to set the printer's configuration and send it to the printer without entering the printer's menu. Printer settings can be saved and sent to multiple printers if the application requires. Users on Windows 98 and above systems can also query the printer with DMXConfig to extrapolate he printer's current configuration via the bi-directional parallel port.

The M-4206 was designed to address emerging markets for thermal printers, including healthcare, light industrial, retail and shipping applications. The printer's advanced menu system and durable plastic cover are the finishing touches in creating the most value-oriented printer for this market. The M-4206 is the most feature-rich printer available to address the desktop/light industrial marketplace with the performance and value required in these applications.
