A STAND-ALONE PRINTING
STATION...NO COMPUTER ATTACHED!
If you’re concerned about the
additional cost of a computer,
saving work space, harsh
environments for computers and
training "computer" operators,
then "cut the cord" from your
computer with the APOLLO!
USE A COMPUTER ONCE, AND SEND
APOLLO ON ITS WAY!
The APOLLO from Tharo Systems is
the first printer that lets you
download a label format, or even
graphics and a data base, to an
optionally installed,
industry-standard PCMCIA card,
disconnect the printer from the
PC and take it to a new
location. Using the printer’s
front panel or a standard
computer keyboard, you can input
data, specify the number of
labels to print, and merge
database information into your
format...all without the PC
attached!
RUGGED CONSTRUCTION:
Ruggedly constructed with a
sleek, heavy-duty metal case,
APOLLO is built for dependable
performance in demanding
conditions.
IMPECCABLE PRINT QUALITY:
Works with all the available
TrueType fonts and most Windows
graphics formats so you can
create dramatic labels with
impeccable graphics and print
quality. APOLLO supports PCX,
IMG, BMP, GIF, TIF and MAC
graphics formats!
APOLLO HAS 3 SCALABLE
INTERNAL TYPEFACES!
While most label printers offer
1 resident scalable font or none
at all, the APOLLO features 3
printer-resident scalable
typefaces! All Western and
Eastern European Latin
characters are also resident in
the APOLLO. Greek and Cyrillic
are not resident, but can be
printed as TrueType fonts.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATION!
Ideal for international
companies, the back-lit LCD
display provides quantity count
down, printer configuration,
status messages, data input and
operator prompts in English,
German, French, Italian, Spanish
and Finnish!
EASY RIBBON AND LABEL
LOADING:
Easy side-loading design
eliminates tiresome media
threading.
EASY PRINTHEAD MAINTENANCE:
Printhead leveling, adjustment,
cleaning and replacement is a
snap!
FLEXIBLE SENSOR DESIGN:
The moveable "see through" or
reflective sensor is ideal for
sensing any type of media,
including tag stock with a black
sensing mark, circles and
ellipses.
HIGH-SPEED 32-BIT
PROCESSOR...2MB RAM
APOLLO is faster, with more
standard RAM... ideal for
downloading TrueType fonts or
graphics.
APOLLO WORKS GREAT ATTACHED
TO YOUR COMPUTER TOO!
For systems integration APOLLO
is one of the easiest to
interface printers in the world.
Serial up to 57,600 baud,
Centronics parallel, and RS-485
networking interfaces are all
built-in to the APOLLO. These
interfaces, along with the fact
the APOLLO programming language
requires no control characters,
allows interfacing with
virtually any system including
minis, mainframes and UNIX.
INTERNAL CLOCK
For time/date stamps on labels.
ADDING-ON OPTIONS HAS NEVER
BEEN SO EASY!
Unlike many printers, adding
options like a tear plate,
cutter, external rewind and
present sensor is extremely easy
with the APOLLO. A simple turn
of a lever is all that is
required.
OPTIONAL INTERNAL REWIND:
Our patented mechanism for
attaching media to the internal
rewind is faster and easier than
any internal rewind you’ve ever
used!
PRINT ON ALL TYPES OF LABEL
MEDIA
Thermal/thermal transfer
roll-fed, die-cut, continuous or
fan-fold labels, tags or tickets
on standard 8-inch diameter
rolls. Print labels on a variety
of materials including
polyester, Mylar, vinyl,
polypropylene and tamper-evident
label stock.
SUPERIOR ENGINEERING
APOLLO was designed with fewer
moving parts and long-term
advantages. For example, the
print head and other user
serviceable parts are far less
expensive to replace than
comparable printers, so long
term costs are lower. Have your
technicians check out
APOLLO...they will appreciate
its superior engineering!
YOU WON’T FIND APOLLO
ANYWHERE ELSE:
APOLLO is the result of a
technical joint venture between
Tharo Systems, Inc., of the
United States and CAB of
Karlsruhe, Germany, and our
combined knowledge in
engineering and manufacturing
high quality labeling products.
SUPPORTS ALL POPULAR BAR
CODES
Apollo supports all the popular
bar codes, including UPC/EAN,
Code 39, Code 128 and
Interleaved 2 of 5, and as well
as two-dimensional symbologies
like PDF417, Data Matrix, and
MaxiCode. |
