Datamax Stock Levels
21 June 2010 - Datamax-O'Neil like every other manufacturer who uses electronic components in their products, are suffering component supply delays. To off-set these problems, we have increased our stock levels so that we can supply any normal order, ex-stock. However, as you can see below, there are still some accessories, that we don't even have an estimated ship date for. We also have all the less popular options in stock, as well as Print Heads and ALL spare parts for ALL Class models.
NOTE: ALL these items are held in OUR warehouse in East Tamaki, and we have new stock arriving from the USA every 3-4 weeks. So don't accept a 2-3 month lead time for ANY Datamax product.

Firmware Update for I-Class Printers
The latest
release of firmware for the I-Class series (and the re-badged Meto Mi4) series of printers provides
additional protection for your printer. Under the new firmware, the printer monitors the use of the motor
that feeds the labels, and when it exceeds pre-set limits, to stop the stepper motor overheating, it will
introduce a pause between each label.
Should the motor overheat and seize, it will draw excessive current, and in our experience, generally causes
an "explosive" failure of the printer power supply. Currently this will cost at least NZ $1,000 + GST to
repair. The enhanced firmware should stop this happening.
Once it has been identified that the printer is "high use" then we can carry out a Datamax authorised
modification, that will allow the printer to run continuously again, WITH NO RISK.
If you use your I-Class printer for over 1 hour continuously, please contact us for further details of this upgrade, that will give you peace of mind for a minimal investment.
METO PRINTERS
The majority of
METO branded printers in use in New Zealand, were manufactured by Datamax for the METO Group. That Group no
longer exists, however DataCol can provide full service and support for their full printer family. We can
also upgrade the printer firmware, to the latest Datamax version, so that you can take advantage of the
recent features added by Datamax to their printers.
METO Mn = Datamax E-Class Mk1 series
METO Mr4 = Datamax M-Class Mk1 series
METO Mi4 = Datamax I-Class series
METO Mi6 = Datamax W-Class series
