Century Falcon 8 Barcode Printer  

Easy-change printhead
The Century Falcon 8 printer utilizes a 300dpi printhead with print speeds up to 4" per second. The Century Falcon 8 uses flat head printhead technology. The printhead's wide design opens perpendicular to the feed path making it easy to load media and clear the paper path. In addition, the printhead simply snaps in. No tools are required to change the printhead.

Compact, reliable, robust
The Century Falcon 8 printer is compact and fits into limited spaces. The printer's dimensions are 9.6" tall, 15.1" wide and only 7.1" deep. The Century Falcon 8 printer is also very robust. Its casing is made of industrial strength steel which allows it to function in even the harshest environments.

Media Features
The Century Falcon 8 printer has a self-center paper media guide which takes the guesswork out of loading media. It automatically adjusts labels from the center outward to ensure proper media loading. The center-loaded media path insures that media is pulled through evenly and uniformly. This producers a sharp, clear image across the full width of the media.

User Friendly
The Century Falcon 8 printer operates under any host system using TPCL language. The Windows driver allows the user to control the printer in a GUI (graphical user interface) environment. The hardware uses green operating cues. These allow the operator to work the printer with confidence. The Century Falcon 8 is very low maintenance which means less down time.
