THERMAL PRINTING TODAY WITH 
TECHNOLOGY FOR TOMORROW
Based on the 5r Multi-Technology Platform, the ThermaLine
T5000r family is an industrial thermal bar code printer 
designed to operate in challenging environments. Through 
leadership by design, the T5000r combines reliability, utility,
power and flexibility for demanding environments and provides
the open migration to RFID for future requirements. The
T5000r supports the widest range of connectivity and control
without sacrificing performance and provides the ability to
meet new application and compliance requirements.
The T5000r integrates real world experience that readily adapts to emerging 
standards. The T5000r firmware can be upgraded to keep pace with new thermal 
bar code printing innovations and applications. 
KEY FEATURES
32-bit processor for ultra-fast processing and throughput performance
32MB SDRAM memory and 8MB Flash with font and image storage capability   
625m ribbon reduces downtime and supply cost
Smart Ready design provides the migration path for future RFID implementation
Embedded Zebra, TEC, Intermec, Sato and Datamax programming language support
XML forms printing with embedded industry standard forms and templates
Unicode with TrueType font support for worldwide compliance and local 
printing requirements
Printronix Extensible Markup Language (PXML) interface enables real-time printer 
management and job control
GUARANTEED BAR CODE QUALITY 
The T5000r delivers dependable and reliable bar code printing for compliance labeling
and accommodates higher density bar codes, increased graphics or smaller text with
snap-in print heads. When used in conjunction with ODV
technology (Online Data
Validation), the T5000r provides verification of scannable bar codes at the point of
label creation. Designed as RFID Smart Ready, the T5000r converts to an UHF
RFID printer encoder as RFID requirements enter the supply chain. Combining
bar code compliance and RFID technology the T5000r links bar code and EPC
data together for storage, retrieval, electronic audits and data synchronization.
