Latest thermal printer from Zebra supports various payment processing applications in both indoor and outdoor environments
Vernon Hills, IL — April 18, 2006 — Mobile solutions provider Zebra Technologies has released a new rugged mobile thermal printer suitable for indoor/outdoor receipt printing and payment processing applications, providing a solution for field service and route accounting operations that require issuance of smaller receipts and on-demand documentation.
The new RW 220 — designed for printing tickets or receipts up to two inches wide — is a smaller version of the RW 420 that was released by Zebra last year. The IP 54-rated RW 220 withstands exposure to water and dust, and can resist extreme temperature, precipitation and repeated six-foot drops to concrete, according to Zebra.
The unit provides route delivery, field service and other mobile workers a durable option for printing receipts supported by advanced security standards, including WPA and virtual private networks (VPN), the solution provider said.
With optional magnetic stripe and smart card readers, the RW 220 can be a complement for transacting payment processing applications. The printer has optional Bluetooth and 802.11b wireless connectivity, which supports the protocols specified in many enterprise network security standards.
"Connectivity and durability set the RW 220 apart," said Bob Danahy, Zebra's director of global mobile and wireless technology. "It has advanced wireless security for use in many networks and the ruggedness to go into many work environments."
The RW 220 includes a snap-in-vehicle mounting cradle; standard USB, large media capacity; 4MB Flash and 8MB RAM; and a 32-bit processor for processing of receipts with graphics, complex bar codes and fonts using wireless communication. Charging options include an AC charger, Quad charger and cigarette-lighter adapter charger for in-vehicle charging.
Available now in the US and Canada, the RW 220 will be available in Europe and Latin America next month and in key markets in Asia Pacific by mid-year, according to Zebra.
