InfoPrint Solutions Company, a joint venture between IBM and Ricoh, has announced the InfoPrint 4247-L03. This new midrange impact printer compliments the company's higher-speed models by delivering a lower price point, along with support for integrated Ethernet 10/100BaseT, wide-format printing, and the power of remote printer management. It is designed to enable customers to easily replace older equipment and realize the benefits of minimizing operating expense and maximizing reliability.
The InfoPrint 4247-L03 is the latest addition to the line of impact printers from InfoPrint Solutions Company. InfoPrint Solutions Company offers many rugged, heavy duty impact and thermal printers designed with the office-to-warehouse environment in mind.
This announcement follows quickly on the heels of the announcement of InfoPrint Solutions Company on June 4. InfoPrint Solutions Company is a joint venture between IBM and Ricoh, combining IBM's former Printing Systems Division with an ongoing investment in technology development and innovation from Ricoh, the digital office equipment leader.
"Today, customers requiring less print volume, while demanding best of class dependability, ease of use, and remote management capability need not to search any further," said Gary Borgese, director, WW Industrial Printer Solutions at InfoPrint Solutions Company. "This announcement demonstrates just how the new InfoPrint Solutions Company will drive the print market forward with new investments across all products."
Delivering Low-Cost, Dependable Output
A low cost alternative to laser, the InfoPrint 4247-L03 is designed to not only print reliably on a wide variety of media, including wide format, multi-part and labels, but to do so in a wide variety of environmentsùwhether climate controlled, or environmentally unpredictable. Where multiple applications are to be produced at a single location, the optional front feed forms path enables ease of loading and a straight through forms path design for maximum feeding reliability.
When configured with the integrated Ethernet interface, the powerful remote printer management utility can be used to easily monitor real-time status for all printers on the network, or even configure multiple printers simultaneously. If attention is needed, the InfoPrint 4247-L03 can proactively send an alert to the appropriate operator(s), thereby minimizing down time as much as possible. In addition, a virtual operator panel delivers 100 percent full function access via a remote PC.
The printer's high function operator panel features a multi-lingual LCD display, along with intuitive controls and easy to read menus so that staff throughout business operations can use the unit easily and quickly, thereby maximizing user efficiency and streamlining operations.
Technical Specifications
The InfoPrint 4247-L03 is a 24-pin serial impact printer designed to meet low to mid volume output requirements for transaction and batch applications.
