Thank you very much for purchasing a Wasp barcode printer.

The WPL206 Series of direct thermal desktop printers are ideal for a wide variety of applications including

product marking, point of sale, retail, small office, shipping labels, and other labeling and tag applications at

the best price anywhere.

The WPL206 Series is a perfect combination of affordability with a durable and reliable design. With a cost

that can't be beat, the WPL206 series offers both 203 and 300 dots per inch print resolution with printing

speeds up to a fast 6 inches per second. The large 60 watt power supply produces high quality printed

labels, even at its fastest print speeds.

of-form sensing – by gap, black mark, or notch – is standard. The printer also comes with a head-open

sensor.

The WPL206 has plenty of memory with 128 MB Flash & 64 MB SDRAM that can be used for easy storage of

fonts, international character sets and graphics, and it supports, "right out of the box," a fully compatible set of

standard industry emulations, including Line Mode, Eltron

old installed hardware.
