Targeting further growth in emerging markets, Allen Coding is now offering its high performance XL-Series of thermal transfer units with advanced Unicode capability and iView colour touch screen for easy real-time and variable multi language printing.
According to the UK-based coding & marking specialist, the upgraded XL-Series can be easily integrated with a wide range of host equipment such as vertical and horizontal form-fill-seal systems, primary labellers, thermoformers and overwrapping equipment.
There are three models in the latest upgrade: the 53XL80U features a maximum print area of 53mm x 80mm and comes with an “unprecedented” two-year warranty; the 53XL40 features a print area of 53mm x 40mm; and the 53XLC is a continuous version with print area of 53mm x 80mm.
The iView touch screen can be configured in English, German, Spanish, Portugese, French, Italian, Swedish, Russian, Korean and Arabic – additional user-interface languages are regularly added and specific languages can be included on request.
“The XL-Series was specially designed to provide seamless Unicode performance for high speed printing of variable information in an impressive number of languages,” says Steve Ryan, Allen Coding UK sales & OEM manager.
“Different control unit options allow us to match global customers’ needs, whether they prefer to specify a user friendly handset, or control the printer from the comfort of the office via a PC.”
Suitable for all intermittent applications within overseas food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, Allen’s XL-Series features a robust, industrial design and up to 600 metres ribbon capacity for extended use with minimal downtime, providing reliable and accurate printing of barcodes, sell-by dates, batch numbers, prices, source codes and other text and graphics, including Julian date and 2D Datamatrix codes, at speeds up to 450 prints/min and 5mm print height.
