Datamax-O'Neil A Class Mk 2 Print Engines
The new Datamax
A-Class family of print engine products are designed to include some of the most innovative features ever
found in a print and apply engine. These massive stainless steel workhorses are intended to be an invisible
piece of a bigger part of production equipment, facilitating the process of finalizing production through
package identification.
The A-Class consists of both 4-inch and 6-inch wide print engines with 203, 300, 400 or 600 dpi resolution
available in both right- and left-hand models. The Datamax A-Class, as a stainless steel product, is
designed to address the specialized corrosion resistant needs found in applications such as the food
processing industry. The A-Class was developed for demanding multi-shift, mission critical applications that
require optimal throughput from an easy to operate, highly durable print engine.
The A-Class utilizes the same electronics card cage design as is found in the popular Datamax I-Class. This
allows integrators to choose from a selection of connectivity options to be easily inserted into the card
cage. Options include the DMXNet II internal Ethernet LAN card, the DMXrfNet II internal 802.11b/g WiFi
card, and others.
In addition to a graphical display control panel, the A-Class also includes the Datamax/MCL client which
enables truly intelligent applications to be hosted within the A-Class itself. Print and apply integrators
and OEMs will appreciate the customization possibilities now available to them through the use of the
Datamax A-Class and its MCL application development capabilities.
