The IER 540 Printer is designed for printing on self-adhesive labels
and various other types of media.
With its color and design, this compact but sturdy printer
harmoniously blends in with any industrial and modern office
environment.
IER 540 Printer operation is particularly user-friendly since all its
functions are host controlled.
The IER 540 Printer relies on the direct thermal printing technology
and requires therefore the use of heat-sensitive media.
Truly universal, this printer accepts most of the existing types of
continuous thermal media (rolls or fanfold stock featuring positioning
marks such as the translucent space between labels (web), holes,
black marks on the front side or back side of the media, etc.)
The IER 540 Printer can be equipped with a cutter, which separates
the printed documents from the stock.
To adapt the printer to your computer environment, various
communications interfaces are available: RS232, or USB (standard
versions) or the RS422 or parallel interface options.
