Portable thermal printer is wirelessly connected

14 June 2006 Electronics Technology

The S'print Wi-Fi is a portable battery-powered thermal printer from Custom that has a Wi-Fi LAN 802.11 interface, Compact Flash, and wireless, serial and Ethernet 10 Mbps interfaces.

The printer, both in Ethernet and in Wi-Fi configuration, is equipped with an internal print web server and, hence, has its own IP address. The printer can be configured and monitored and can import data from the Internet. The Wi-Fi version also supports security protocols for operation within protected networks.

The printer is powered by rechargeable 1850 mA/h AA batteries and takes 58 mm wide paper with roll diameter of 50 mm. It can print more than two rolls of paper at standard print rate on a single charge. A special thermal roll, resistant to atmospheric factors is also available. This is particularly suited for applications where the printed document is left in the open air (for example traffic wardens' fines, delivery of merchandise, etc).
