THERMALINE T5000r SR

Thermaline Printers – Ready for RFID

when you are!

ADVANTAGES

•Choice of two different upgrade kits for

RFID encoding which have everything

needed to upgrade to either Multi-

protocol or EPC Class 1.

• Aluminum die-case design dampens

vibration and maintains precise printer

The Thermaline T5000rSR thermal printers are web-enabled,

industrial-grade thermal barcode printers designed to provide

high quality printing performance and operate at 24/7 duty

cycles in manufacturing or distribution environments. These

Smart Ready printers are specifically configured for easy field

upgradeability to RFID encoding. It’s all part of a commitment

to provide solutions that keep pace with RFID adoption and

provide a migration path to new EPC standards. RFID

upgrade kits provide asset protection by allowing companies

to purchase the thermal printers they need today without

worrying how they will fit into future RFID plans.

alignment

• Unique dual-motor driven ribbon

system eliminates clutch replacement and

greatly reduces the risk of ribbon wrinkle

for superior print quality

• Cantilever head mechanism design

makes it easy to side-load, clean and

maintain

• Exclusive snap-in print head reduces

service calls by allowing operator to

easily change print heads and change

from 203DPI to 300DPI printing without

firmware or software changes

• Ventless system operates in

environments with airborne particulate

matter without compromising

performance

• Wireless/Ethernet option provides real-

time data access and local printing

flexibility

rfid encoding modes

• Operation Modes:
Write/Verify/Print – writes RFID data to tag
and verifies contents are written correctly,
while also printing the desired image

• Error Handling Modes:
Overstrike – when a bad RFID tag is
detected, overstrikes label and applies the
data with the next label
Stop – when a bad tag is detected, stops
the printer to allow for user invention

• Statistics Tracking:
Tracks number of tags written to and
number of bad tags detected

rfid software migration tools

• Migration tools allow RFID tags to be
automatically programmed with data from
the following barcode symbologies:
GTIN carriers ITF-14 and UCC/EAN-128
EPC data within a Code 39
UPC-A, EAN-8, EAN-13
Some restrictions may apply. Contact a
Printronix Certified RFID Integrator for
details.
