Seiko Announced New Smart Label Printer 440 with Universal Software

Seiko Instruments USA is expanding its flagship line with a new model, the SLP 440, a small footprint, affordable Smart Label Printer (SLP) offering simple set-up, 300 dpi high resolution thermal printing, 2D barcoding and enhanced networking and graphics capabilities for office use or integration with vertical market applications. The SLP 440 sports new software, engineered using Mac Universal binaries that allow it to run natively on both Power PC and Intel-based Macintosh systems.

2D barcoding software is supported in the new SLP 440. The barcode feature is particularly useful in medical, education and government environments because it allows users to generate labels quickly for applications such as inventory control, shipping, or marking confidential records or patient history.

The SLP 440 is available this month at an estimated street price (ESP) of $159. [Bill Fox]
