The new IBM SureMark Printer Models 2CR and 2NR offer:
Fast, quiet 80 lines per second (lps) receipt printing and auto-cutting make transactions quicker and improve in-store customer satisfaction.
The models include receipt printing and document insert stations. Model 2CR also includes highly accurate MICR reading (magnetic ink character recognition) for single-pass check handling.
CRU replacement of the thermal printhead, main card, and interface card is guided by Light-Path management and is linked with free systems management software.
Packaging is eco-friendly and support for new "green" polymer receipt media is planned. The new 4610 SureMark™ Printer Models 2CR and 2NR are dual-station thermal/impact POS receipt printers offering high-speed receipt printing — up to 80 lps — fast check handling in the document insert station, superior reliability, serviceability, and usability. Available worldwide, these models replace Models Tx3, Tx4, and Tx5 and can easily be configured by users to print DBCS (double-byte character set) or SBCS (single-byte character set) characters, used in most countries around the world.
Available RS-232, RS-485, and USB (2.0) communication interfaces enable attachment to IBM's wide range of SurePOS™ Series point-of-sale systems plus PCs and competitive systems. Your investment is protected over time because the interface modules are available as field-upgrades. You can change the interface of your printer as your POS terminal requirements and technology evolve.
Servicing and managing these new POS printers is very simple and easy. Light-Path management coupled with tool-less replacement of major assemblies plus enhanced systems management sensors and usage counters make these models very easy to service and manage.
Several ease-of-use features have been added to these new models. Easy drop-and-load paper loading and a cover open button make paper loading fast and easy. Support for large 102 mm (4
in) diameter paper rolls minimizes labor expenses by reducing roll changes and has the added benefit of reducing waste paper roll cores that are not always recycled as they should be. The
combination of a larger roll plus new thinner polymer receipt media will reduce the number of roll changes by half. A compatibility mode is offered for customers who want to retain existing applications while upgrading their printers.
These new models are designed to simplify model ordering, streamline the supply chain, and improve product availability. Both the covers and interface card are features of the printer. Printer covers do not contain any electronics, so they can easily be changed to reflect color preferences. Submit an RPQ to purchase replacement cover sets. The interface card is designed to be assembled during printer setup at the customer's site. This reduces the number of models and allows easy connection of cables to the interface card before it is attached to the printer.
