Retail Applications Solution: Extech Data Systems Announces The S3750THS Thermal Printer For Line-Busting Retail Applications

Extech Data Systems, one of the leading developer of portable printers for enterprise-wide applications, announced the S3750THS Series battery-operated thermal printer for the retail industry. The unit, with an upgraded 2.2amp lithium battery that produces more receipts per charge, is ideal for queue or "line-busting" applications. With multiple interface options, the printer is easy-to-use and allows merchants to better service patrons, particularly during peak trading periods.

The S3750THS has proven effective in a variety of retail applications, affording store owners the luxury of reducing wait times for customers in the purchasing checkout area. By facilitating improved customer service, retention, and turnover, the S3750THS portable printer promotes an increase in overall retail sales. Retail applications include service at coffee houses, bars and restaurants, garden centers, and at the ballpark or stadium, allowing club seat patrons the enjoyment of a rapid food and drink ordering system. Ordering and payment can now be done seat-side, and all communication to the kitchen, including credit card approval, is done over a wireless network.

The S3750THS is MS-DOS and Windows compatible with a full-speed handshake and a state-of-the-art microprocessor. A flash-based, integrated CPU memory enables the user to add logos, bar codes and other graphic elements to the receipt. The system has a highly integrated circuit board to manage all features supported by the printer. RS-232 Serial and IrDA wireless communication are standard, and an optional integrated Bluetooth radio is available in addition to the 802.11b/g option for peer-to-peer communication. A magnetic card reader and smart card reader are also available.

The printer is in-field programmable for firmware, font and logo setup. Print drivers are available for Windows 95, 98, 2000, and XP, and print utilities are offered for all CE, Pocket PC and Palm-based operating systems. Special features include resident fonts enabling 12 to 24 characters per inch, a protective environmental case rated IP 54, and graphics emulation. The S750THS has IEC 68 environmental factors and IEC 60950 product safety certification.
