The Datamax I-Class family of printers are the most comprehensive, cost-effective line of industrial thermal label printing products available in the marketplace today. Engineered with quality and leading-edge technology, the foundation of this printer family is constructed upon a precision-crafted die-cast aluminum frame affording a durable yet lightweight modular design that increases the printer’s reliability as well as its longevity. All models are equipped with a 32-bit processor with 8 or 16 MB of standard memory for accelerated formatting and fast first-label outputs. With available printing resolutions up to 600 dots per inch and print speeds up to twelve inches per second, all printers in the I-Class family offer more standard ease-of-use features than any other printer in their class. These standard features include a front panel user interface with color-coded cues for operator control, an embossed loading diagram for media and ribbon, and a unique collapsible ribbon hub and wide-access print mechanism for effortless loading. Moreover, with its revolutionary modular design, most I-Class accessories and options are field installable, allowing the printer to grow with your changing business needs while increasing both the value and versatility of your technology investment. The I-Class is ideal for a wide array of mission critical bar code labeling applications found in industries such as manufacturing, warehousing, and shipping. In fact, where intricate two-dimensional bar coding is required for compliance labeling, small parts tracking, or product identification, the I-Class has emerged as the printer of choice by large, multinational operations. Yet, its remarkably sophisticated design and the resulting ease-of-use makes the I-Class the printer of choice among facilities of all sizes in all parts of the world. When it comes to reliability, simplicity, and performance there is just one choice – the Datamax I-Class family of printers.
