Among these are the battery’s charge state, the number of charge cycles it has under-gone, and its date of manufacture. Using these parameters, the P4TSeries’softwarecanmonitorthebattery’sconditionandalertthe user when to recharge, re-condition or remove the battery from service.

Since the printing elements are arranged very densely at 203d.p.i.(dotsperinch)or8dotspermm,highlylegiblecharactersand graphic elements may be created a row at a time as the media is advanced past the printhead. This technology has the advantage of simplicity, as there is no requirement for consumable supplies suchasinkortoner.However,sincethemediaissensitivetoheat,it will gradually loose legibility over long periods of time, especially if exposed to environments with relatively high temperatures. ThermalTransferThermal transfer printing uses the same basic technology as direct thermal, except that the printhead elements react with a transfer film which passes between the printhead and the media. The print-ing process fuses the thermal transfer material to the media being printed and creates characters and graphic images that are very dark,andmorepermanentthanthosecreatedbydirectthermalprinting. Offsetting this advantage is the extra cost of the thermal transfer film and printing speeds slower than those required for direct thermal printing.Foreaseofinstallation,P4TSeriesthermaltransferlmissuppliedas a cartridge. Typically a thermal transfer film cartridge will be able to print two rolls of media before needing replacement. This ratiomayvaryconsiderablybasedontheamountoflabelstockper roll.RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)AP4TSeriesprinterequippedwithanRFIDencoderallowsittoencode information on special label media using radio frequen-cies in addition to using conventional thermal transfer technology.
