Rugged Bluetooth Printer

The SP-T8 is a low cost, rugged 80 mm thermal printer. It can withstand drops of 1.2 metres and is supplied with a leather carrying case with a large flap to protect it from the weather. The case has a belt loop and shoulder strap making it ideal for outdoor uses including mobile receipting, data capture, timing systems etc. The printer can take a 60mm diameter roll which gives over 43 metres of print. The long lasting 2.1AH Li-ion battery can print continuously for over 200 metres! With barcode capability and ESC/POS emulation it is ideal for portable point of sales applications. There is also a PDA application so the SP-T8 can be used with it's Bluetooth interface for fully wireless, mobile systems. The SP-T9 is a new addition to the range. It is smaller, lighter and includes a USB interface.
The SP-T8 and SP-T9 differ from other devices in our Rugged Printer Series because they are not water resistant to IP54. However, since they are totally enclosed within the carrying case with a full width flap to cover the paper slot, they are viable outdoor use printers but at a fraction of the cost of true 'ruggedised' machines.
