Supply chain efficiency is required in today's industrial environments, where reliable output
management is critical. IBM® 4400 Thermal Printers offer ease of use, flexible media handling, and powerful remote management to keep your information flowing.
Reliability
Exceptional print quality and performance are inherent to the printer's thermal print head control technology, producing consistent, precise print density on a variety of media. In addition, the optional
bar code validator features "read-after-print" technology to help ensure bar code validity and scannability. Printing bar codes correctly the first time minimizes the cost of penalties or returned
products resulting from unreadable bar codes.
Two direct-drive motors control the ribbon spindles and are designed to sustain ribbon tension
throughout the life of the printer, minimizing torn ribbons and downtime.
Ease of use
The IBM 4400 simplifies forms loading and supplies replacement with easy access to internal
components. The user-friendly front panel controls and backlit display make it easy to set up and store customized printer configurations. An optional cutter and tray allows labels to be cut and collected as
they are printed providing flexibility to support on-demand printing applications.
Remote management
Using the Printer Management Utility and the IBM 4400 internal Ethernet option, multiple printers can
be easily managed with an easy-to-use interface. This includes the ability to access a virtual operator panel, configure multiple printers, view current printer status and supplies life, and download software
and printer settings from a host computer.
IBM 4400 Thermal Label Printer supplies are designed to enhance printing capabilities and to prevent premature printhead wear.
