Original Press Release:



Next Generation Thermal Ticket/Coupon Printer from Seiko Instruments Offers Increased Functionality, Ease of Use and Cost Economies



TORRANCE, Calif - Oct. 7, 2002 - In response to specific market demands, Seiko Instruments USA Inc., Micro Printer Division introduced its new PSA-66-2N ticket/coupon printer at the recent Global Gaming Exposition held in LasVegas. During October, the new printer is also being introduced at several other trade shows in markets requiring ticket/coupon printers such as amusement, lottery, vending, and parking.

The new printer is the next generation in thermal ticket/coupon printing and builds on the exceptional success of the Seiko Instruments PSA-66 ticket printer, which was the first printer to address the cashless gaming trend and dominates the market. Key new features include presentation of the ticket only after it has been completely printed; high-visibility, high-speed ticket reveal; increased ticket capacity; and features that significantly streamline maintenance requirements.

The PSA-66-2N offers a large ticket capacity of up to 800, significantly minimizing machine downtime and labor costs associated with paper replenishment. Tickets are completely printed, then cut off automatically for presentation. This new functionality eliminates paper jamming and illegible printing caused by pulling on the ticket before printing is complete. And high-visibility, high-speed ticket presentation ensures that the ticket can be easily seen.

Designed in a lightweight, high-impact plastic housing, the new printer contains all electronics in the main unit for easy service. An anti-crimp flexible cable replaces previous ribbon-type cables to prevent bending or crimping. Hot swappable capabilities and an easily accessible port for firmware downloads directly from a PC combine for easy upgrades to future technological developments or replacement of the printer.

The PSA-66-2N printer measures 114 mm x 305 mm x 65 mm (W x D x H), delivers print speeds of up to 75 mm/sec., and ticket capacity options of 350, 550 and 800. A high print resolution of 8 dots/mm provides quality printing of characters and graphics, such as logos, promotions and graphics. Ticket stock can also be pre-printed in color on the non-thermal side. The printer utilizes fanfold, perforated vouchers in standard U.S. currency size, and comes equipped with an interchangeable ticket tray. Paper replenishment indicators and ticket-jam and ticket-in-chute sensors eliminate problems associated with improper paper loading and jamming.

The PSA-66-2N thermal printing subassembly offers a choice of either RS-232C or Netplex data communications (a specification of International Game Technology) for an added degree of user flexibility. The PSA-66-2N has a two-year factory warranty and is backed by the "Seiko Secure" customer support commitment, which includes application engineering assistance, software development and customization, comprehensive technical documentation, customer training, and technical and service support.
