Powerful performance
IBM SureMark™ Printers can print up to
6.5 inches per second, delivering up to 52 lines per
second (lps) for Single Byte Character Set (SBCS) output
and up to 50 lps for Double Byte Character Set (DBCS)
output. They are available in singlestation thermal
models, or two-station models with impact slip printing
for multipart forms and checks. All models support color
thermal paper printing.
Engineered for retail
SureMark Printers use durable hardware
and printing mechanisms designed by IBM for superior
reliability. Their footprints are among the smallest
available, and single-station models offer flexible
mounting options to fit wherever you need them. Paper
handling is quick and simple.
Investment protection
SureMark Printers support USB and
RS-485/RS-232 connections. Modular interface adapters
allow you to choose the best interface today, then
upgrade when the time is right. USB offers hot
plug/unplug capabilities, plus automatic loading of
system configurations and device drivers.
High-powered POS performance
These quiet, high-quality thermal receipt printers set a
new standard for speed, delivering up to 52 lps for SBCS
output and up to 50 lps for DBCS printing. They help
retailers to complete transactions more quickly, as well
as print logos, coupons and marketing messages on
receipts – in black plus an accent color – turning the
POS printer into a valuable marketing tool. Logo and
barcode data stored in flash memory can minimize print
time. For retailers who need additional memory for
failsafe journal storage, an optional 2MB or 8MB is
available for some models via a request for price
quotation (RPQ).
Proportional and scalable fonts
SureMark Printers are available today
with TrueType font support – or “newspaper style”
printing. This increases readability dramatically, and
creates a host of opportunities for printing longer,
more engaging customer messages on receipts. With
scalable fonts, characters can be printed up to eight
times their standard size for a bold, unforgettable
look.
Color thermal printing
Customers remember messages printed in color far better
than those printed only in black. That is why all
SureMark Printers allow you to print on thermal papers
that provide one additional accent color, such as red or
blue (with a firmware upgrade at no additional charge).
Use the accent color to highlight promotional messages,
total savings, loyalty points and other special
information.
Single-pass check handling
Model TI4 can perform single-pass check handling in as
little as14 seconds with a single printhead, unlike
other devices that use multiple printheads and ribbons
to process the check. Conventional MICR reading, check
endorsing and printing are available as well. For check
handling without MICR reading or check flipping, choose
Model TI3 or TI5.
One global solution
International and global retailers can use SureMark
Printers as a single worldwide printer platform to
improve service and support efficiency. These printers
are available in a wide range of models, so
multinational retailers can select the right model for
each geography in which they do business. Application
interfaces are similar for all models, so retailers can
easily upgrade installed printers with the latest
functions, such as color thermal paper printing or
PDF-417 barcodes.
Compact, easy-to-use design
With some of the smallest footprints in their class,
SureMark Printers give you maximum counter space.
Single-station models offer wall-mounting with
upside-down printing, so receipts stay right-side up as
they exit wall-mounted printers. Simple paper handling
makes refills quick and easy. For some models,
90mm-diameter paper rolls are available to minimize
paper reloading.
Flexible options to protect your
investment
SureMark Printers work with a variety of POS hardware,
including many non-IBM systems. They support USB and
RS-485/RS-232 via modular adapters, so you can easily
upgrade these printers if your hardware configuration
changes. Select the interface that best supports your
current hardware investment, then migrate to new
platforms – such as the IBM SurePOS™ 700 Series, with
USB connectivity – at your own pace.
Models TM6 and TF6 offer transparent emulation for
Epson® TM-T88II printers, which makes porting
applications easy. These models provide emulation for
the receipt station of IBM Model 3/Model 4 Printers,
while Models TI3, TI4 and TI5 provide emulation for both
the receipt and document insert stations.
New options for food service and
hospitality
The SureMark Printer now provides new
models specifically designed for food service and
hospitality. These quiet, high-quality, single-station
thermal receipt printers set a new standard for speed,
delivering up to 52 lps for SBCS output and up to 50 lps
for DBCS printing. At this speed, SureMark Printers
become valuable marketing tools that can print logos,
coupons, barcodes, loyalty points and customised
messages on receipts. Thermal print quality is crisp,
clean and easy-to-read. Printing in a second accent
colour lets you highlight loyalty points, itemised
savings and other data. For retailers who need
additional memory for failsafe journal storage, an
optional 2MB or 8MB is available for some models via a request for price quotation (RPQ).
These printers are specifically
designed for food service and hospitality, with very
small footprints, flexible wall-mounting options and an
upside-down printing feature that keeps receipts
right-side-up as they exit the printer. International
and global retailers can use SureMark Printers as a
single worldwide printer platform to improve service and
support efficiency. Because these printers offer SBCS
and DBCS models, multinational retailers can select the
right printer for any geography. Fiscal printer
solutions are available for the SurePOS 500 in many
countries. Check with your local IBM representative for
more details.
