Datamax A-Class Print Engines for Applicators
(Datamax A-4212, A-4310, A-4408, A-4606, A-6212, A-6310 Print Engines)

Datamax A-4212, A-4310, A-4408, A-4606, A-6212, A-6310 Print Engines

When the demands of your high performance print and apply application require more features than existing print engines offer, it's time to move up to the new Datamax A-Class™.

The Datamax A-Class family of advanced print engines includes a number of innovative design features such as stainless steel hardware components, modular electronics card cage, field installable thermal transfer ribbon assembly, a remote control panel, and a full graphics display.

Designed for print and apply applicator integration, the A-Class utilizes the industry recognized Datamax I-Class firmware architecture with connectivity options to industry standard communications interfaces.

For compliance requirements, the A-Class with RFID option allows users to encode smart label at the point of print, where most experts agree that encoding should take place to avoid any chance of mismatch between printed and encoded information. The A-Class FRID option currently accommodates EPCglobal Class 1 tags with either 64 or 96 bits of memory. More tag encoding capabilities will be added as specifications and requirements evolve.

When you need to depend on your applicator print engine to keep your business in business, move up to the Datamax A-Class.
