Thermal Printer Simultaneously Prints On Both Sides of Wire Markers



Harrisburg, Pa. - Nov. 1, 2004 - Tyco Electronics, a business segment of Tyco International, Ltd., has introduced the T612M-DS double-sided thermal transfer printer. The T612M-DS printer answers a common need in heat-shrinkable wire and cable identification markers by having the capability of simultaneously printing on the front and back of the marker. Double sided printing technology impacts the bottom line by offering tremendous cost savings through halved print time and reduced waste. All Tyco Electronics' TMS SYSTEM SIX heat-shrinkable markers can be processed with the T612M-DS printer. Included in the TMS SYSTEM SIX line are a variety of markers ranging from 2.4mm to 57.2mm.

T612M-DS printers are rated for heavy-duty cycles and incorporate an industrially robust 300 dpi (12 dpmm) print head. Markers suitable for use with the T612M-DS are typically used in the aerospace, defense and rail industries. The printer-marker system is also suitable for general-purpose, high-volume industrial use.

Tyco Electronics recommends using WINTOTAL marking software in conjunction with the T612M-DS printer. Minimum system requirements for WINTOTAL are: Pentium 400 MHz or faster, Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP and 128 MB or more RAM. 20 MB free disk space is required.
