• Interesting Facts about A4 Thermal Printing

  Why 8 inch print width for A5 barcode labels? The A5 paper format (210mm x 148.5mm), for example, can basically also be printed with a printer that is only 6 inches wide. To do this, the format is transported over the narrow side, i.e. 148.5mm. For many applications, this is also possible without any problems. However, if barcodes are printed……continue

• Printing data in 200 dpi with Microplex

  Automatic Scaling of Print Resolution Microplex thermal printers with a standard print resolution of 300 dpi have configurable, automatic scaling of the print data. In many cases, print data from existing systems is scaled to a printer resolution of 200 dpi for standard thermal printers. To ensure that these are printed correctly on Microplex printers, the Microplex printers have this……continue

• InfoPrint® Replacement with Microplex

  Microplex offers a complete product portfolio for replacement in InfoPrint®/IPDS printing environments to meet desired requirements without changing existing infrastructures. This means that only the printer needs to be replaced. For example, you can replace an IBM®/Ricoh® printer with a Microplex Continuous Laser Printer (SOLID F40, SOLID 60E-2, SOLID 85E, SOLID F140) – with the ability to continue using IPDS……continue

• PDF® Direct Printing with Microplex

  Direct PDF® printing with support for paper handling functions is a novel method of printing single and multi-page PDF® documents with Microplex printers. With the Microplex printers of the latest controller generation (MPC 3.4, 3.6, 7.x, 8.x) it is possible to print PDF® data directly. On Microplex printers, PDF® data output is unchanged. You receive a 1:1 printout as the……continue

• Printing with SAP®- Easily realized with Microplex

  Complete SAP®-compatible Printer Range Microplex offers a full range of printers with integrated SAP® compatibility across all technologies.This means that all conceivable printing tasks can be printed directly from an SAP®-controlled system. Whether thermal printing, cutsheet laser printing or continuous laser printing, the connection is always made with integrated device types (e.g. HP®). No installation of additional drivers required Compatible……continue

• Replacement for IPDS Printer

  High Performance and Impressive Cost Effectiveness – Direct Printing of Data IPDS is more than a page description language, it is a bidirectional communication protocol between the computer systems and the printer. With Microplex printers you have the possibility to print directly and without additional converter box. Field of Application Direct IPDS printing from IBM® host or AS/400 Large print……continue

• EnLabel - The efficient label design software

  

  EnLabel – Main functions EnLabel makes your work easier with many predefined templates. Numerous functions are available for self-made egg chain designs. Text: You can position fixed text in any Windows font. Text in a text box automatically adjusts to the character size of that box. Text in a text box automatically adjusts to the character size of that box.……continue

• Overview Printer Languages (Emulations) and Barcodes

  Emulations reproduce printers or printer languages of other manufacturers. In doing so, commands are implemented in such a way that a printout with the same appearance is produced. One advantage of the Microplex controller is that these printer languages can also be used across different technologies. Thus, the processing of e.g. thermal printer data streams such as ZPL II –……continue

• Interfaces

  The Microplex controller offers you a variety of options to connect the printer to existing applications, not only in terms of emulations. In addition to all common interfaces, special interfaces adapted by Microplex are also available, allowing the printers to be synchronised with production lines, for example. Note Not all interfaces are part of the standard equipment of every printer.……continue

• Microplex GPIO-Interface

  Flexible synchronisation of printers and systems In modern plant control systems, all connected devices are controlled and synchronised via signals. This ensures a smooth process and enables a fast and targeted reaction in exceptional situations. In many systems, these devices include printers, both thermal and laser printers. Microplex printers can be connected directly to a system controller using a GPIO……continue

• The Microplex Print Controller (MPC)

  

  The MPC (MICROPLEX PRINT CONTROLLER) is the result of our long time experience and development work. For 35 years now, all our knowledge has been bundled in the MPC and continuously kept at a level that is often ahead of the times. The main tasks of the MPC are to rasterize incoming print files (known as Raster Image Processor) as……continue
