Seiko Instruments Inc. (President: Satoshi Kobayashi, Headquarters: Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, hereinafter referred to as SII) has announced the SLP720RT, a thermal label printer that supports 2-inch size weak adhesive linerless labels. will be released from March 2022.
At European and American coffee chains and fast food chains, in order to prevent mistakes in custom orders such as toppings, after placing an order, a label with printed order information is attached to the kitchen counter. It is popular to re-attach it to coffee cups and wrapping paper and give it to you. This is where weak adhesive linerless labels without a liner are used. Since there is no backing paper, there is no waste and it is an eco-friendly label that can be reapplied many times.
The "SLP720RT" to be released this time is a printer that supports low-adhesive linerless labels, and can be used in a variety of situations, such as printing on normal labels with backing paper and receipt paper. The maximum paper width for labels and receipts is 2 inches (58 mm), which is the standard receipt size in Japan, and the main unit has a slim and compact design.
Since the corona crisis, new food styles such as takeout and food delivery have become established in Japan, and the order content has become diversified, such as choosing the size, seasoning, and toppings. In the future, as in Europe and the United States, we will propose new ways to use the product in the new normal era, such as pasting topping information on the ordered product so that there is no mistake, and pasting directly on the paper bag so that the receipt will not be lost at the time of delivery.
In addition, this product will be exhibited at "Retail Tech JAPAN 2022" to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from March 1st.
[Main features of SLP720RT]
1.Compatible with eco-friendly weak adhesive linerless labels
Compatible with weak adhesive linerless label printing that does not have a backing paper (release paper) and can be reapplied many times. In addition to eliminating backing paper waste, the label length can be adjusted according to the amount of printed information, so there is no impact on the environment and no waste.
2. Supports various uses such as receipt printing
In addition to low-adhesive linerless labels, it can also print labels with backing paper and receipt paper, so it can be used not only as a label printer but also as a receipt printer. In addition, three types of interfaces are available: USB, Ethernet + USB, and wireless LAN, and can be used in various communication environments.
3.Compact design
By limiting the maximum print width to 2 inches (58mm), we have achieved a slim and compact design. As well as store counters, it has drip-proof properties (equivalent to IEC60529 IPX1), so it can be used safely in kitchens and other places.
4.Simple and easy to use
Replacing labels is easy with the roll paper throw-in method. In addition, if a paper jam occurs during use and a cutter lock error occurs, an automatic return mechanism is installed, so the cutter lock can be released simply by opening the cover. In addition, since it is equipped with a paper taken sensor, it waits for the next print until the printed paper is taken when printing multiple sheets.
5. Rich software
In addition to various drivers (printer driver, OPOS driver, etc.) and SDK (Software Development Kit), we provide software for label creation and PDF printing from web applications. The label creation software includes a Windows version with high functionality such as a database that can import (xls, csv, mdb, txt) data such as Excel, date/time printing, etc., and a simple iOS/Android version for smartphones and tablets. I have.
