  • Page 7: Introduction

    For this printer options are available (for example, cutter). The logiJET TM4 printer is provided with a controller that is also used in SOLID laserprinters. So the advantages of the thermal print technology are combined with the flexibility of the „laserprinter intelligence“.

  • Page 8: Fundamentals Of Thermal Printing

    Roll-fed media as well as continuous-media can be printed on. The minimum width of media is 25.4mm (1”). The maximum processable width of media for the logiJET TM4 is up to 118mm (4.64”). 106mm (4.17”) of that are printable. 1.2. Fundamentals of Thermal Printing The thermal print technology enables a quiet and fast print process with a high resolution output.
