Seiko Instruments New Receipt Printer Combines Reliability, Value, and Ease of Use

Seiko Instruments USA Inc. (SIU) Thermal Printer Division, a globally provider of thermal printer technology, recently announced the availability of a new value-priced point-of-sale (POS) printer. The RP-B10 direct thermal receipt printer combines space saving design with the performance, reliability, and ease of use demanded by high-volume retail and hospitality environments. The durable RP-B10 printer outputs 2-inch and 3-inch wide, 203 dpi receipts at 200 mm/second, providing a minimum 62 miles (100 km) print out and a mean time between failure (MTBF) of 360,000 hours. In addition, the heavy-duty anti-locking and auto-recovering cutter design is rated for a minimum 1.5 million cuts.

Measuring 5.9" (150mm) wide x 7.28" (185mm) high x 5.49" (139.5mm) wide, the small-format RP-B10 offers standard-, vertical-, and wall-mount options and a choice of USB and Serial interfaces. Driver software for Windows and OPOS (Windows XP/Vista), a comprehensive software development kit (SDK), and a wide array of utilities for rapid printer configuration, adding logo, coupons, or watermark, printing in grayscale, monitoring, and more, significantly enhance integration flexibility.

The RP-B10 is available with black or white casing and comes with a 3-year Seiko Instruments AssurePrint warranty as standard. The AssurePrint program provides additional options to extend the base warranty and to provide 24-hour printer replacement service.
