HECON^® PIXI™ Receipt Printer

MANASQUAN, NJ -- HECON, a Danaher Company, announces the introduction of their PIXI^™ Receipt Printer. This low-cost, graphics-capable thermal printer is complete with 1,000,000 cut paper cutter, control board, paper supply and transport mechanisms, and a long-life, direct thermal printhead. With a print speed up to 2.0 inches per second, it is perfect for use in kiosks, self-service terminals, ticket vending systems, etc. The PIXI^™ can be mounted horizontally, (for front panel paper exit), or vertically (to facilitate dropping the finished receipt into a chute). Automatic paper loading simplifies operation. The cutter can make a full cut or a partial cut (to require a slight tug to separate it from the paper roll) under software control. The HECON PIXI^™ helps save engineering time by eliminating the need to fit separate printers, cutters, control boards, etc� together. The PIXI^™ is complete and includes all these elements.
