The SLPA8000/7000r Series

The SLPA8000/7000r Series
The SLPA8000 and 7000r Series are families of Smart label printer
applicators (direct thermal and thermal transfer) designed to print, encode,
and apply labels and tags from any MS-DOS
computer.
Printronix Dynamic Print Control provides exceptional print quality. A circuit
monitors the data to be printed and automatically adjusts the energy applied
to the thermal printhead for maximum performance.
The SLPA can communicate with the host computer via RS-232 and RS-422
serial, Centronics
(optionally) coax/twinax, ethernet 10/100Base-T, or wireless ethernet host
connections. The interface cable needed to connect the SLPA to the host
device is supplied by the user.
