Supply
chain efficiency is required in today's industrial environments, where
reliable output management is critical. IBM®
4400
Thermal Printers offer ease of use, flexible media handling, and powerful
remote management to keep your information flowing.
Reliability
Exceptional print quality and performance are inherent to the printer's
thermal print head control technology, producing consistent, precise
print density on a variety of media. In addition, the optional bar code
validator features "read-after-print" technology to help ensure bar
code validity and scannability. Printing bar codes correctly the first
time minimizes the cost of penalties or returned products resulting
from unreadable bar codes.
Two direct-drive motors control the ribbon spindles and are designed
to sustain ribbon tension throughout the life of the printer, minimizing
torn ribbons and downtime.
Ease of use
The IBM®
4400
simplifies forms loading and supplies replacement with easy access to
internal components. The user-friendly front panel controls and backlit
display make it easy to set up and store customized printer configurations.
An optional cutter and tray allows labels to be cut and collected as
they are printed providing flexibility to support on-demand printing
applications.
Remote management
Using the Printer Management Utility and the IBM®
4400
internal Ethernet option, multiple printers can be easily managed with
an easy-to-use interface. This includes the ability to access a virtual
operator panel, configure multiple printers, view current printer status
and supplies life, and download software and printer settings from a
host computer.
