3.2.1 Polycarbonate Construction – RoHS Compliant
Smooth Edged,
Modular Design
The printer's polycarbonate construction offers high performance properties suitable for most mobile
applications in harsh environments. This advanced material body provides MB200i with operating
capabilities in normal as well as extreme printing conditions ranging from 5°F to 122°F (-15°C to
50°C) 30%-80% non-condensing relative humidity. The cover is reinforced for extra shock-absorbing
protection. Additionally, the polycarbonate material is virtually unbreakable with its ability to withstand
drops to concrete on its flat surfaces from 2M.
In addition, vibration endurance tests also prove that the MB200i is able to operate while undergoing
36,000 vibrations without damage.
An optional waterproof case is available and protects the printer allowing its operation during
inclimate weather conditions. These covers are waterproof-certified to comply with the JIS protection
Level 3 standard.
RoHS Directive
The printer complies with the RoHS Directive, which guarantees that the printer body does not
contain the RoHS constrained substances (toxic metals commonly found in industrial workplaces)
above the concentration values. The RoHS constraints are:
Chromium compounds
Lead and its compounds
Mercury and its compounds
Cadmium and its compounds
Polybrominated biphenyl (PBB)
Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)
The absence of such toxins from this product reduces health risks to users and the environment in
term of pollution. It also ensures that the product can be sold into Europe, which requires all devices
adhere to the RoHS. By summer of 2006 it is expected that the US will also require these same
requirements. The entire unit also features anti-bacterial protection embedded on the outer-cover of
the printer unit. This is especially helpful for the health conscious and for hospital applications.
