Compact Design

The microFlash series of printers are rugged and light enough to be worn all

 

day on a worker’s belt.

Infrared Technology

Wireless capabilities allow data to be sent to the printer without cables.

Power Efficiency

Easily outlasts a typical 8-hour shift on a single charge. The microFlash2

 

recharges in one hour, the microFlash3 in four hours. The microFlash

 

2t/2tcr/2i/2icr charge in about 6-9 hours. The microFlash 4/4tcr charges in

 

about 3 hours.

Extremely ruggedized

The microFlash 2/3 uses an aluminum “roll cage” to protect the print head

 

and other delicate electronic components from crushing, twisting and

 

torsional types of damage. Synthetic rubber boots provide protection from

 

impact and shock types of damage, and variable weather conditions. The

 

2i/2iCR/2t/2tCR/4t/4tCR is entirely encased in a protective shell of blow

 

molded high density polyethylene. The microFlash series of printers can

 

withstand multiple, drops to concrete on every face without damage.

Flash Memory

O’Neil introduced “flash memory” to the mobile printing industry to

 

provide printers that are easily personalized through software. Using the

 

exclusive microFlash Configuration Program, the entire microFlash printer

 

can be upgraded using a personal computer, whenever it is necessary to

 

change fonts, operating system, graphics, or configurations. The user never

 

has to send the printer back to O’Neil to update. Flash memory also means

 

that the print speed is fast. The printer never has to wait for a computer to

 

send graphics.

Linerless Labels

The microFlash 2/3/2t/2tCR/4t/4tCR series of printers offer “linerless” label

 

capabilities. Linerless labels are labels without peel-off backing. They save

 

labor costs, because workers can apply them as they come out of the printer.
