IBM SureMark printers
boost operational
efficiency and cut costs
A new world standard for retail receipt printers
1. Fast 80 LPS receipt printing for single-byte
(SBCS) or double-byte (DBCS) printing
2. Push button receipt cover opening
3. Easy drop-in paper loading and large
four-inch (102 mm) receipt roll helps
reduce downtime and training expenses
4. Retail-hardened, spill-resistant design
delivers high reliability in the harshest
retail environments
5. Extended code page support (27 total)
enables worldwide use
6. 3 MB user flash memory supports bar-
codes, logos, color graphics and
TrueType™ fonts
7. A programmable audible alarm can be
used to prompt users
8. Paper motion sensor detects jams and
reduces waste of receipt media. Paper low
sensor is accurate and programmable,
reducing labor expenses. Print head and
cutter health sensors minimize downtime
9. All IBM peripherals are tested, engineered,
color coordinated, provide latching connections, are compatible and optimized to
work as a total store solution
10. Powered USB and RS-485 connectivity
eliminates the need for a separate power
brick and conserves counter space
11. Standard USB and RS-232 connectivity
integrates with IBM and third-party POS
systems (external power brick or special
cable required)
12. Epson Emulation and Compatibility Modes
ease transition to new models and enable
easy replacement of competitive printers
13. All packaging materials are recyclable and
most are made from recycled postconsumer waste
14. An optional wall mounting bracket can be
used to save valuable counter space
A new world standard for retail receipt printers
Fast printing wins customers and improves
productivity
New IBM SureMark printers are specifi-
cally designed to meet the rigors of
retail environments and feature the
most advanced printer technologies
today to speed transactions. With a
1
record 80 lines per second (LPS)
for
single-byte (SBCS) or double-byte
(DBCS), these faster printers process
transactions 27% quicker than the top
competitor to improve customer satis-
faction and employee productivity.
IBM innovations, such as standard
2
flash memory, help retailers print
3 MB
“value added” messages on receipts
while keeping checkout lanes moving.
Remote management reduces TCO
IBM SureMark single-station printers
lower operating costs and total cost of
ownership with easy-to-manage fea-
tures including IBM Retail Systems
Management tools. Remote
Management Agent (RMA) and
IBM Director software, provided at no
additional cost, keep your business
running smoothly by providing critical
maintenance and environmental
information. Business IT costs are
reduced by managing your POS,
peripherals and application locally or
from a remote site.
Unique features mean fewer service calls
and less downtime
IBM SureMark printers are designed
with a built-in sensor system that con-
tinuously monitors the printer’s “health.”
A paper motion sensor detects jams
and reduces waste of receipt media.
Print head and cutter sensors minimize
downtime by identifying parts that are
about to fail so they can be replaced
proactively. Additionally, easy drop-in
paper loading and a large four-inch
(102 mm) receipt roll reduce downtime
and training expenses. Retailers can
save up to five minutes per media roll
change by using the paper low prompt
to initiate roll changes. When linked
with Remote Management Agent
software, store managers can be auto-
matically paged when a printer paper
low sensor is tripped, ensuring that the
manager will bring a new receipt roll to
the cashier without interrupting
transactions.
Cost cutting design and performance
deliver quick ROI
Operating costs are significantly
reduced due to the easy-to-service
design of IBM SureMark printers. Key
printer components like thermal print
head and cards can be replaced by
trained personnel instead of costly serv-
ice technicians. Covers are easily
removed and replaced, helping to
reduce costs through better inventory
management and accommodating POS
A new world standard for retail receipt printers
Newly designed packaging includes high-density polyethylene (HDPE) inserts made from recycled postconsumer waste, saving space for energy and cost-efficient shipping and disposal. Box and inserts are
100% recyclable
and peripherals color changes. Snap-in
interface adapters, USB, RS-232 and
RS-485 make migration to new system
platforms easier and cost effective.
Usage statistics are not only available
locally but can be acted upon remotely
by RMA and can be used to extend
printer life with proactive servicing and
wear leveling to minimize downtime.
Fewer service trips translate into sav-
ings in travel and valuable employee
time and less impact on the
environment.
Supremely Green! Saving the environment
and your bottom line!
IBM sets new world standards in eco-
friendly POS technology with new
SureMark single-station printers.
Extending the IBM commitment to envi-
ronmental stewardship, IBM SureMark
printers are the first designed to use
polymer film, an emerging advanced
receipt media that is fully recyclable.
The new receipt material has multiple
layers of polymer film for strength and
opacity but is much thinner than
standard paper media. Each roll is
19% longer than a paper roll, meaning
less environmental impact, fewer
roll changes and less printer and
employee downtime. In fact, using an
IBM SureMark printer with polymer
receipts on a larger roll reduces envi-
ronmental waste and total cost of own-
ership significantly more than printers
with two sided receipt media (2ST).
Minimum impact at end of life reduces
costs and waste
IBM SureMark printer packaging is
100% recyclable, including box and
inserts. The high-density polyethylene
(HDPE) inserts are made from recycled
post-consumer waste and can be
stacked in very little space, reducing
transportation and packaging disposal
costs. Printer plastics and metal parts
are also recyclable, minimizing the envi-
ronmental impact of disposal when the
product reaches end of life. For environ-
mentally conscious recycling and dis-
posal options, IBM Asset Recovery
Solutions3 offers a fully compliant,
enterprise-wide asset disposal
program.
A new world standard for retail receipt printers
Retail-hardened for lasting performance in
harsh environments
Constructed from the highest quality
materials available, IBM SureMark
printers are retail-hardened and spill-
resistant to deliver high reliability in the
harshest retail or food service environ-
ments. A marketing life of up to five
years and a service life of seven years
or more mean your investment is pro-
tected and life cycle costs are opti-
mized, reducing TCO.
Use a single printing platform worldwide
across your enterprise
A single IBM SureMark printer model
can support the unique needs of retail-
ers in many countries. An extended
code page supports global use and
compatibility with leading industry and
legacy systems and helps protect tech-
nology investments. Designed with
open platform technology, the
IBM SureMark printer enables use of a
single POS printing platform across the
enterprise.
Low cost financing from IBM, the industry
leader in POS solutions
Now more than ever, retailers depend
on IBM for POS solutions that boost
operational efficiency, shrink costs and
provide quick ROI. IBM is committed to
meeting the challenges of this demand-
ing retail environment by offering an
array of low cost financing and leasing
options. With products developed by
IBM engineers with over 100 years
combined experience in the POS print-
ing field, and service provided by
IBM and our highly skilled IBM Business
Partners, it’s no wonder the world’s top
retailers use IBM POS printer solutions.
