Seiko Instruments Introduces Vertical Format Thermal Ticket/Coupon Printer



TORRANCE, Calif. - Oct. 8, 2002 - Seiko Instruments USA Inc., Micro Printer Division introduced its new vertical-profile PSA-66VST thermal ticket/coupon printer at the recent Global Gaming Exposition in Las Vegas as the latest addition to its extensive line of print mechanisms, print subassemblies and stand-alone printers. 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 design of the PSA-66VST allows it to fit into many machines that cannot accommodate standard horizontal type printer configurations. The PSA-66VST incorporates the proven technology of the Seiko Instruments PSA-66 ticket/coupon printer subassembly, currently the dominant printer in the rapidly growing cashless gaming market with sales of over 100,000 units to over 20 gaming machine manufacturers.

Machine manufacturers will no longer be required to disassemble and reassemble a standard printer to fit the vertically oriented space configurations imposed by some machines. By fitting directly into the machine, the new PSA-66VST thermal printer eliminates the time, expenses and inconvenience associated with rebuilding standard printers and reduces the time to market for manufacturers.

The new PSA-66VST offers an exceptional level of operational reliability and consistent print quality, particularly compared to impact printers that require ribbons, plus fanfold/perforated ticket stock to avoid paper jams. In addition, the paper can be pre-printed with promotional information, logos and graphics in full-color on the non-thermal side. The printer delivers print speeds of up to 75 mm/sec. with a high print resolution of 8 dots/mm for quality printing of graphics and characters. It offers easy drop-in paper loading for 400 tickets in standard U.S. currency size, minimizing paper replenishment and associated labor costs. Additional features of the printer include paper replenishment indicators, and ticket-jam and
ticket-in-chute sensors.

The PSA-66VST is provided with an RS-232C communications port, 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.
