Replacement for IPDS Printer with Microplex
High Performance and Impressive Cost Effectiveness – Direct Printing of Data
IPDS printers are a type of printer that uses the Intelligent Printer Data Stream (IPDS) protocol to communicate with computers. IPDS is a bi-directional communication protocol, which means that the printer can send and receive data from the computer system.
This makes IPDS printers ideal for printing high-volume, transactional documents, such as invoices, shipping labels, and barcodes.
Direct printing: Microplex printers can print directly from a computer system without the need for an additional converter box. This makes them easy to set up and use.

Microplex Printers: The Best Choice for Complex Data Printing
Microplex printers are the perfect choice for printing complex data that contains many barcodes. Our printers can print at maximum speed, even under IPDS, thanks to our integrated IPDS emulation.
Unlike external IPDS box solutions, our IPDS emulation is integrated directly into the firmware of the printer controller. This ensures that printer statuses and printed pages can be reported back to the sending host without resorting to a cumbersome and error-prone communication protocol.
This ensures that printer statuses and printed pages can be reported back to the sending host without resorting to a cumbersome and error-prone communication protocol.
In addition to being used as an IPDS printer, our printers understand more than 40 printer languages (emulations), such as: HP PCL5, IGP, Kyocera Prescribe, IBM® Proprinter and many more. This makes our printers versatile and adaptable to a wide range of applications.
Features:
- Maximum speed with complex data (i.e. 2D-Barcode)

Cost Advantage through Microplex Printers
Microplex printers offer a cost advantage over traditional printers by allowing you to print your applications on the most cost-effective printing system. For example, labels can be printed on inexpensive direct thermal material with a thermal printer, instead of more expensive heat-resistant laser printer labels.
This is possible because Microplex printers support a wide range of printing technologies, including thermal, laser, single-sheet, and continuous paper feeding.
This means that you can always choose the right printing system for your specific application, and ensure that you are using the most cost-effective materials
In addition, Microplex printers are designed to be efficient and reliable. This means that you can save money on maintenance and repairs, and avoid downtime.
As a result, Microplex printers offer a significant cost advantage over traditional printers. If you are looking for a printer that can help you save money, Microplex is the perfect choice.
Microplex Continuous Printers: The Economical Choice for Your Printing Needs
Microplex continuous printers offer a cost-effective and reliable solution for a wide range of printing applications. With print speeds of up to 140 ppm (5000 lpm), the SOLID F140 is the most powerful printer in its class.
