Printronix Auto ID T6204e Industrial Thermal / RFID Printer overview
The T6204e is the 203 dpi, 4-inch model in the Printronix Auto ID T6000e industrial series. 300 dpi (T6304e) and 600 dpi (T6604e) versions are also available. It prints at up to 14 inches per second and is rated for about 10,000 labels a day. It has a die-cast aluminium frame, a metal door and side-loading supplies that take 8-inch media rolls and 450 m ribbons.
The printer runs a wide range of native and competitor printer languages, including PGL, ZGL, DGL and others. PostScript/PDF, IPDS and TN5250 are optional, so it can replace existing printers without changing label formats. Enterprise Wi-Fi security, PrintNet Enterprise and SOTI Connect support help with fleet management.
A factory RFID version (T6204e RFID) is available, and RFID upgrade kits can be added to the standard model. Either way, it encodes RAIN UHF labels and on-metal tags up to 2.2 mm thick and overstrikes any tag that fails to encode. An optional ODV-2D verifier can grade every 1D and 2D barcode inline and reprint failed labels.
