Introduction

Printed records are often needed directly beside the instrument, not later at a desk. This compact thermal printer gives technicians a practical way to document readings from compatible instruments or a PC through the RS232 serial input, with 24 characters per line and standard 57...58 mm thermal paper.
 
Field work stays efficient because the printer is light to carry and simple to prepare. The four 1.2 V AA NiMH rechargeable batteries provide autonomy for up to 3000 printed lines at full charge, while the cover design allows the paper roll to be replaced in a few seconds.
 
Clear printouts and configurable operation support day-to-day measurement tasks. The printer offers 203 DPI resolution, printing speeds up to 90 mm/sec, selectable baud rates of 9600, 19200 and 38400 baud, and an automatic switch-off function that can be set to 0, 5, 10 or 15 minutes. With ABS housing, IP40 protection and operation from 0...+50 °C, it is suited to portable use in controlled industrial and laboratory environments.
