Datamax A Class Printer
Datamax A-Class Printer overview

The Datamax A Class range includes: A-4212, A-4310, A-4408, A-4606, A-6212 and A-6310.

The Datamax A-Class family of advanced print engines includes a number of innovative design features such as stainless steel hardware components, modular electronics card cage, field installable thermal transfer ribbon assembly, a remote control panel, and a full graphics display.

For compliance requirements, the A-Class with RFID option allows users to encode smart labels at the point of print, where most experts agree that encoding should take place to avoid any chance of mismatch between printed and encoded information. The A-Class RFID option currently accommodates EPCglobal Class 1 tags with either 64 or 96 bits of memory. More tag encoding capabilities will be added as specifications and requirements evolve.
