1. Introduction
1.1. General Description
The LOGIJET T8-3 is a multifunctional non-impact printer based on
thermal print technology.
The device can be used for thermal transfer printing as well as for
thermal direct printing. Because of its wide range of application, you
can use it to print all kind of information as barcodes, alphanumerical
characters and vector graphics e.g. .
This printer not only knows one device-specific page description
language as standard thermal printers usually do, but most of the
languages used in the industrial field and the well-known market
standards of laserprinters, too.
For this printer options are available (for example, cutter).
The LOGIJET T8-3 printer is provided with a controller that is also
used in SOLID laserprinters. So the advantages of the thermal print
technology are combined with the flexibility of the „laserprinter
intelligence“.
The MICROPLEX printer controller has its integrated website, this
allows a printer configuration via Ethernet. See Networking
Features of MICROPLEX Printers for more information.
Data can be sent without programming expenditure from almost
any software platform, because printer drivers are already
available for this.
The capabilities featured include the MICROPLEX page description
language IDOL. Using this language, complex tasks such as the
creation of forms can be carried out by simple software commands
(see separate IDOL manual).
The resolution is 300 dots per inch corresponding to about 12 dots
per mm.
The print speed is up to 6 inch/second (up to 150mm/second).
Roll-fed media as well as continuous-media can be printed on.
The maximum processable width of media for the LOGIJET T8-3 is
241.3mm (9.5”). 219.5mm (8.64”) of that are printable.
