Maxatec To Distribute The Atlas Series Of Portable Label Printers From Extech Data Systems

16th March 2009

Maxatec, Master Distributor for Extech Data Systems in EMEA, is to distribute the Atlas range of rugged, three and four-inch portable thermal printers. Ideal for label printing, as well as a printer for receipts, maps, and schematics, the Atlas range has been designed to print in any orientation, the printer is easy to mount in a vehicle or carry on a belt or shoulder. There is a wide range of media options making the Atlas the perfect portable printing partner for many application needs, and integration really is easy due to the many popular brand emulations which are resident in the printer.

The Atlas range features best-in-breed power management, full on board menu selections, a useful suite of integration and configuration utilities and tools, advanced security features on Bluetooth™ models, and emulations of popular printer brands. The Atlas range of portable label printers is a virtual drop-in solution for many existing mobile printing applications.

The Atlas range can withstand repeated 4-foot drops to concrete and is backed by a comprehensive standard warranty that covers the entire printer —  case, battery and print head —  for one full year. Many portable printer vendors offer warranties limited to 90 days on the battery and six months on the print head. A variety of accessories are available including an AC wall adapter, a vehicle mounting bracket, multi-bay external battery charger, 3-track simultaneous read MCR and an environmental case.

The Atlas series produce high speed, high resolution direct thermal receipts and invoices and significantly reduces print time per receipt. A clamshell-style loading system with an easy to operate button release for the locking paper door makes changing the oversize paper rolls easy and convenient.

A new extra-capacity rechargeable lithium ion battery enables more labels prints per charge; the battery charges easily in the printer. The fast charge circuit with an auto switch to AC power is included on the mother board, not in the printer, making replacement batteries much more affordable.

The Atlas 4 logic is based on a highly integrated, state-of-the-art 32-bit processor that manages all of the features supported by the printer. Resident and downloadable features allow the addition of logos, bar codes and other graphic elements to the receipt. Multiple communication interfaces include serial and three wireless options (IrDA; integrated Bluetooth™  radio or integrated 802.11b/g radio).
