A STAND-ALONE PRINTING

operators, then "cut the cord" from your computer with the
APOLLO!

USE A COMPUTER ONCE, AND SEND APOLLO
ON ITS WAY!
The APOLLO from Tharo Systems is the first printer that lets you download
a label format, or even graphics and a data base, to an optionally
installed, industry-standard PCMCIA card, disconnect the printer from the
PC and take it to a new location. Using the printer’s front panel or a
standard computer keyboard, you can input data, specify the number of
labels to print, and merge database information into your format...all
without the PC attached!
RUGGED CONSTRUCTION:
Ruggedly constructed with a sleek, heavy-duty metal case, APOLLO is built
for dependable performance in demanding conditions.
IMPECCABLE PRINT QUALITY:
Works with all the available TrueType fonts and most Windows graphics
formats so you can create dramatic labels with impeccable graphics and
print quality. APOLLO supports PCX, IMG, BMP, GIF, TIF and MAC graphics
formats!
APOLLO HAS 3 SCALABLE INTERNAL
TYPEFACES!
While most label printers offer 1 resident scalable font or none at all,
the APOLLO features 3 printer-resident scalable typefaces! All Western and
Eastern European Latin characters are also resident in the APOLLO. Greek
and Cyrillic are not resident, but can be printed as TrueType fonts.
INTERNATIONAL OPERATION!
Ideal for international companies, the back-lit LCD display provides
quantity count down, printer configuration, status messages, data input
and operator prompts in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and
Finnish!
EASY RIBBON AND LABEL LOADING:
Easy side-loading design eliminates tiresome media threading.
EASY PRINTHEAD MAINTENANCE:
Printhead leveling, adjustment, cleaning and replacement is a snap!
FLEXIBLE SENSOR DESIGN:
The moveable "see through" or reflective sensor is ideal for
sensing any type of media, including tag stock with a black sensing mark,
circles and ellipses.
HIGH-SPEED 32-BIT PROCESSOR...2MB RAM
APOLLO is faster, with more standard RAM... ideal for downloading TrueType
fonts or graphics.
APOLLO WORKS GREAT ATTACHED TO YOUR
COMPUTER TOO!
For systems integration APOLLO is one of the easiest to interface printers
in the world. Serial up to 57,600 baud, Centronics parallel, and RS-485
networking interfaces are all built-in to the APOLLO. These interfaces,
along with the fact the APOLLO programming language requires no control
characters, allows interfacing with virtually any system including minis,
mainframes and UNIX.
OPTIONAL INTERNAL REWIND:
Our patented mechanism for attaching media to the internal rewind is
faster and easier than any internal rewind you’ve ever used!
PRINT ON ALL TYPES OF LABEL MEDIA
Thermal/thermal transfer roll-fed, die-cut, continuous or fan-fold labels,
tags or tickets on standard 8-inch diameter rolls. Print labels on a
variety of materials including polyester, Mylar, vinyl, polypropylene and
tamper-evident label stock.
