2 Description
The GPT-437x GeBE-FLASH
®
is a portable, battery
operated industrial printer in a robust plastic housing.
The foil on the operating console can be printed with
a custom design.
Due to the wide range of operating temperature (-10
to +60°C with specified paper), the GeBE-FLASH
®
is
ideal for outdoor applications.
Inserting the paper is easy due to Easy Paper Loa-
ding Technology. The paper supply lid will always
snap securely shut (tested in accordance with DIN
EN60068-2-6 vibrations and -29 constant shock).
A convenient OnPaperDisplay menu (OPD-Menue
®
)
replaces the earlier configuration of the printer
through DIP switches.
Besides wireless interfaces such as Bluetooth
®
IrDA,
HP-IR or GeBE-Ir, the GeBE-FLASH
®
can also be
addressed through an RS232 or a USB interface.
Two charging methods are available. The cost
efficient LC standard charge through the Direct Plug-
In Wall-Mount Adapter that is part of the standard
package, and the HQ charge from a 10-28 VDC fixed
voltage, like a cigarette lighter in a car, for example.
The charging will take about 3 or 4 hours. With the
standard NiMH battery pack, having a capacity of
1,600mAh, up to 5 paper rolls can be printed.
The printer version GPT-4379-FLASH-HP is operated
with 4 single AA batteries.
Intelligent power managment increases the opera-
tional readiness.The printer can switch into a sleep
mode that will still allow it to receive data. In sleep
mode, the power consumption can be lower at times
than the self-discharge of the battery.
The alarm timer of the optional real-time clock of the
GeBE-FLASH
®
wakes up the printer at the program-
med time to perform a previously defined action.
The GeBE-FLASH
®
is also available with a 3-track
magnetic card reader and/or a paper rewinder.
