Light weight, Fast and Economical
We recognize that not all applications require heavyweight, ultra rugged, drop-it-off-a-building or run-itover-with-a-truck portable printers. The Apex series printer line is “just enough” to get the job done without
slowing down or sacrificing accuracy. The Apex’s fast print speed, ample memory and fast processing power
keeps pace with printers costing almost twice as much. The lightweight, compact design allows the printers to be
worn comfortably through a complete shift. The durable housing and rubber over mold will endure the bumps and
knocks of the typical workday. User friendly, the Apex printers have a simple drop-in paper system allowing users to quickly replace
paper rolls and a high capacity battery that lasts through a 12 hour shift. Users can go through a busy day knowing that the Apex
printers will keep up with them.
