By Staff -- Logistics Management, 6/1/1998

The new Apollo 1 printer from Tharo Systems features an optional label applicator that is designed for small, delicate, high-precision printing. The applicator itself is a tamp-type unit.

The printer can apply labels as small as 0.5 inches wide and 0.2 inches high. The applicator attaches to the front of the unit, which can operate as a thermal or thermal-transfer label printer.

The Apollo 1 features a 300 dot-per-inch (dpi) resolution running at 8 inches per second with a 4.2-inch print width. It includes an internal rewind and ribbon saver as well as a high-speed 32-bit processor with 2 mb of RAM.

The new printer supports all the popular bar codes, including UPC/EAN, Code 39, Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, PDF417, and MaxiCode. The printer is designed to function with or without an attached computer.
