Label printers

Integrate cab printers into SAP R/3

Controlling cab label printers quickly and easily from SAP R/3 using SAPScript.

1. Big graphic display

White backlight for optimum readability.

2. Ribbon holder

Simple and centered insertion of the ribbon with the three-part tightening axles. The imprinted rule on spindle simplifies ribbon positioning.

3. No printhead adjustment

The printhead is pressed down with two sliding toggles. Due to the centre alignment of the materials there is no need to do adjustments and settings at the printhead.

4. Material guide

Precise printing as the material guide is located directly behind the print roller. The width is automatically adjusted and centered with a single knob.

5. Peripheral connection

Add-on modules such as cutter, perforation cutter and stacker are easy to connect.

6. Solid metal housing

Made of die-cast aluminum. All components are mounted on it.

7. Roll holder

Available for core diameters from 38 mm. (We provide adapters for core diameters wider than 76 mm for improved label winding). The material is automatically centered. The spring-mounted margin stop ensures constant tension during feeding, thus ensuring a highly precise imprint.
