Datamax is poised to revolutionize the thermal printing industry again with the M-Class printer
line.
The M-Class offers users a durable, technologically advanced thermal printer with the design
principles that have proven successful in other Datamax printers, in a smaller footprint for use
in
emerging market applications.
Thermal printing is expanding to more vertical market and industry applications, and Datamax is
maintaining a leadership position in printer design and performance with the M-Class. The M-Class
is built on a uni-frame, die-cast aluminum chassis, increasing the printer's durability throughout
a lifetime of high performance output. The truly modular design of the M-Class, unique to Datamax
printers, allows options to be installed and removed in the field. Datamax printers offer versatility
that is unparalleled in the thermal printing industry. Datamax builds products that provide value
and
cost savings to users, and the M-Class continues this legacy.
While a printer's design and construction is key to its durability, the ability to interface with
an existing
or new system is what enables truly seamless integration into any application. Standard connectivity
interfaces for the M-Class include an RS-232 serial port, an IEEE 1284 compliant, bi-directional
parallel port, and a USB port. Network users have many options, including a fully integrated, highly
functional internal Ethernet card, or a more economical external Ethernet port. Datamax also offers
DMXConfig, a desktop configuration tool that allows users to retrieve, modify, and update the printer's
configuration without entering the printer's menu. Printer settings can be saved and sent to multiple
printers if the application requires.
The M-Class is designed to address emerging markets for thermal printers, including healthcare,
light industrial, retail and shipping applications. The printer's advanced menu system and durable
features are the finishing touches in creating the most value-oriented printer for these emerging
market users. The M-Class is the most feature-rich printer available to address the desktop/light
industrial marketplace with the performance and value required in these applications.
