PRINTRONIX SLPA8000r MP2 Smart Label Applicator 

PRINTRONIX SLPA8000r MP2 Smart Label ApplicatorThe Printronix SLPA8000r smart label applicator has been developed specifically for high-speed production and distribution environments. Using "Next-Out" encoding, this high-speed RFID Printronix SLPA8000r MP2 Smart Label printer applicator can verify, encode, print and apply 100% good tags, at speeds in excess of 100 labels per minute.

The Printronix SLP-PA8000r is an industry-leading patented tag management system has provided users with the most reliable, cost effective method of applying only 100% readable tags to products, while collecting defective tags on the rewind mechanism for post-mortem.

The Printronix SLPA8000r provides a unique Single System Interface that consolidates both printer and applicator controls while providing messages on system status, tamp errors and more. With the Printronix SLPA8000r users also gain complete visibility to the printer applicator system to monitor and manage their application process from data transmission to label application.

RFID Ready
The Printronix SLPA8000r applicator also includes the largest library of UHF RFID tags for EPCglobal Gen 2 and ISO specifications and is available in an RFID Ready version, the Printronix LPA8000r, for traditional bar code applications. The upgrade kit gives user the confidence to upgrade to RFID in the future - at the user's site - reducing downtime.

High speed label application
Fast-tamp cylinder is capable of delivering in excess of 100 cases per minute

100% readable tags
Delivered with a patented tag management system

Field upgradeable to RFID
The LPA8000r bar code Label Printer Applicator is upgradeable to RFID, at the facility - reducing downtime

EPCGlobal Gen 2 compliant hardware
Built with industry leading MP2 encoding platform for proven reliable RFID performance; interoperable with over 40 tags

PRINTRONIX SLPA8000r Applicator Product Highlights

  • Largest library of Gen 2 tags with the MP2 encoding platform for both printer applicators and desktop printers, provides standardized label inlay position for converted labels

  • Road-tested in both manufacturing and distribution environments for reliability

  • One interface for operation, giving ease of use to the operator

  • Easily integrates into most enterprise IT environments with multiple print languages for compatibility with legacy data streams

  • LPA8000r is field RFID upgradable

  • Print resolutions of both 203 and 300 dpi are available for both the LPA8000 and SLPA8000 printer applicators to accommodate higher bar code resolution requirements

  • Intelligent Tag Management- only 100% good tags enter the supply chain, substandard RFID tags remain on the liner for traceability

  • FCC-Compliant - meets FCC certification in North America

  • Uniwall Design- RFID or thermal printers built into the applicator wall for stability and durability

  • Modular connectivity for higher throughput - units can be coupled together to address higher speed requirements, and build in fault tolerance

  • Single System Interface - one General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) enables users to easily program the SLPA with system PLC's for greater systems performance in a materials handling environment

  • Multi-protocol - encodes EPCglobal Class 0, 0+, 1, Gen 2, and Philips UCode 1.19 RFID tags to provide users greater selection in RFID implementation

  • EPCglobal Gen 2 Certification gives users the peace of mind that the printer/encoder complies with EPCglobal standards and has been rigorously tested

  • Performance levels up to 100 labels per minute, can label up to 100 cases/minute
  • The only encode-print-apply system to prove interoperability at the EPCglobal Interoperability Test, compatible with multiple RFID technology suppliers 64 and 96 bit EPC tag support
  • Identifies and rejects "bad" or "quiet labels" - insuring 100% high-performance RFID labels
  • Superior bad tag management for RFID labels that keeps bad tags on the liner, rather than ejecting them or making a "label brick"
  • Field-upgradeable XML forms printing option with embedded industry standard forms and templates with the XML Forms Module
  • Printronix eXtensible Markup Language (PXML) interface enables real-time printer and job control
  • Optional Environmental Enclosure (.PDF) is ideal for print and apply applications with extreme temperatures that require consistent and predictable environment controls
  • Top and side label application orientations, as well as, roll-on/front/back
  • User replaceable snap in/out printheads that don't require any tools to change
  • Fully integrated controller board, reducing the costs and complexity found in a traditional Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
