Zebra 160S Thermal Transfer Printer
- List Price $3,295
Economical Printer That Produces
6"-Wide Bar Code Labels
Value-Priced Printer
with Expanded Features
The 160S is the latest addition to the Value-Line(tm) family
of thermal transfer bar code printers. This economical,
industrial-strength, all-metal printer provides the same reliable
performance as its Value-Line counterparts, yet it has features
not found in the others.
For example, the 160S printer prints labels up to 6"-wide (152.40mm), making it an ideal choice for printing AIAG, ODETTE or other compliance labels; product packaging labels; inventory labels for the boxes in your warehouse; or logistics management and automated shipping labels.
In addition, the 160S printer features both reflective and transmissive media sensors. This provides compatibility with applications that require either black mark sensing or web sensing capabilities. No matter what type of media you use, you are assured of a properly aligned bar code label.
Enhanced
Electronics, Value-Line Performance
As with other Value-Line printers, the 160S printer
incorporates a 32-bit microprocessor that allows you to format
while printing and enables you to print more labels in less time.
In addition, the 160S features a faster clock speed, which aids
in processing 6"-wide (152.40mm) label formats, and a 0-wait
state memory that reduces processing lag time. Combine this with
the efficiency of ZPL II, and the 160S provides fast
first-label-out and strong processing performance on both short-
and long-run applications.
Six-Inch Print Width
Provides Increased Productivity
Featuring a maximum print width of 6.3" (160mm), the
160S printer can readily print common 6" x 4"
applications without the need to rotate the label or the bar
code.
Additionally, productivity is increased with higher volume label rolls. For example, with a paper stock such as Zebra's Trans Matte 2000(tm), an 8" diameter roll of 6" x 4" (152.4mm x 101.6mm) labels holds 48% more labels than an 8" (203.2mm) roll of 4" x 6" (101.6mm x 152.4mm). This allows you to label 48% more cartons with a single roll of media before incurring down time for reloading media.
Flexible Options to
Suit Your Requirements
If you want to print labels in high volumes, you can choose
an optional internal rewind feature that allows you to wind a
full 8" (203.2mm) roll of labels within the printer so they
are free from dirt and dust.
For applications requiring immediate label application, you can select the peel-off option which quickly dispenses printed labels for immediate use and rewinds spent label liner for easy storage and efficient disposal.
Numerous Symbologies
and Font Options
With the 160S printer, you can print all popular bar code
symbologies, as well as newer two-dimensional codes, such as
PDF417, Maxicode and Code 49, provided as standard features.
These two-dimentional codes allow you to store larger amounts of
data in a smaller amount of space.
To accommodate common printing requirements, the 160S printer includes one standard scalable font, CG Triumverate(tm) Bold Condensed, and seven bit-mapped fonts expandable up to 10 times, height and width independent.
The 160S printer also includes a new internal font scaling routine, Universal Font Scaling Technology(UFST). UFST provides enhanced compatibility with popular TrueType fonts, installed in many Windows applications. You can easily load Windows fonts into the 160S printer using ZTools for Windows. These TrueType fonts increase your creative options and can enhance the finished look of your label.
