Once again we will be participating in the Southern Manufacturing & Electronics exhibition which is coming up in early February, after a very busy and successful show in 2009 we had no hesitation in re-booking for 2010.  

We will once again be showcasing a small example of our extensive monochrome and colour display line up, on show with be TFT LCD’s from our manufacturing partners, Kyocera, Powertip, Bolymin and JNM Display, plus OLEDs from Powertip. Our monochrome LCD range from our partners Powertip and Bolymin offer displays from simple alphanumeric modules through to graphic COG types.

Also on show from partner Woosim Systems, will be examples of our micro thermal printers, from mechanisms to portable/mobile. 

We hope you can make the time to visit the show and our stand, we will have engineers on hand to discuss your applications so why not pop along for a chat. If you need a ticket please do not hesitate to contact us via email sales@craftdata.co.uk or call us on 01494 778235.

The guys at Woosim launch another new mobile printer onto the market.

With the success of Woosim’s PORTI-W40 Bluetooth and IrDA wireless printers the engineers decided that an even more compact mobile printer was needed so they shrunk the W40 and came up with the SW40. With its 3.0″ print width and superb print speed of 60mm/sec the PORTI-SW40 promises to to live up to the success of its W40 big brother.

It is truely pocket sized at only 107.5mm x 88.5mm x 45mm and weighing only 360g makes it ideal for a host of applications requiring a lightweight, compact, fast relaible wireless printer that won’t break the bank. The new SW40 fits in nicely with Woosim’s current range and ideally plugs the gap between their 2.0″ and 4.0″ versions. Features include:-

Clamshell design for easy paper loading.

Printing Method: Direct Thermal

Characters per line: 64 cpl

Print Resolution: 203dpi, 8 dots/mm

Print Width: 3.0″ (72mm, 576 dots)

Print Speed: 60mm/sec

Paper Width: 80mm x 40mm OD

Interface: UART or TTL with Bluetooth Ver2.0 or IrDA Ver1.0

Battery: Rechargeable 7.4VDC, 1400mAh (Li-on), 1 hour continuous printing

The SW40 supports both graphics and text printing as well as 1 and 2 dimensional barcodes, it is supplied with a mains AC adaptor with UK power lead, serial cable and a roll of paper and an in-car charger/adaptor available as an optional extra.

Applications that would benefit from the use of the SW40 are, Mobile POS, Field Servicing and Parking Enforcement to name just a few.

March sees the arrival of two new direct thermal printers from our partner Woosim, the S35N and the SC40N are part of Woosims portable/mobile printing range and incorporate Woosim’s trademark pocket size concept with an overal size of only 80.5mm x 113.5mm x 46mm and a weight of just 300g.

Both printers are based around the same simple clamshell design and print engine however the SC40N also incorporates a built in MSR (magnetic card reader) making it ideal as a mobile POS printer.  Common to both is the 2″ print width and a fast reliable 80mm/sec print speed, the interface options are either UART or TTL plus Bluetooth ver. 2.0.
