PRINTRONIX SLPA8000r MP2 Smart Label Applicator

RFID Encode, Print, & Apply - Printronix SLPA8000r MP2 label applicator is the newest addition to the SmartLine family. This printer applicator delivers "next-out" encoding at speeds in excess of 100 labels per minute. Whether you require an automated slap and ship system, or an in-line production printer applicator, the Printronix SLPA8000r MP2 will meet your needs.

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

The 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.

Unlike traditional OEM engine models the Printronix SLPA8000r applicator provides a unique Single System Interface that consolidates both printer and applicator controls while providing messages on system status, tamp errors and more. 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 users the confidence to upgrade to RFID in the future- at the user's site- reducing downtime.

PRINTRONIX SLPA8000r MP2 Label Applicator Features

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

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

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

Product Support - Printronix offers a variety of support levels to help you successfully operate your printers

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

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

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

Fully integrated controller board, reducing the costs and complexity found in a traditional Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
