Printer Throughput & Performance
The M84
Pro
uses the latest technology to offer maximum performance and eliminate wait time.
a)
RISC CPU & Memory
The combination of high performance RISC CPU, fast print speed of up to 10 inches-per-second and
16MB of RAM image buffer allow the M84
16MB of RAM image buffer allow the M84
Pro
Series to output even the most complex formats with no
time wasted. The printer’s virtual Zero-Compile time provides high performance in label production even
when printing directly from standard Windows applications.
when printing directly from standard Windows applications.
b)
Multi-Buffer – “Processing While Printing”
With the Multi-Buffer feature the M84
Pro
can process an incoming format while the previous image is
being printed. Once the first image is finished printing the following format can start printing immediately,
thus maximizing the printer throughput.

High Print Resolution (User Configurable!)
The M84
Pro
offers a superior print quality at print resolutions of 203 dpi, 305 dpi, and high resolution 609
dpi, all at the full print width of 4.1”. Simply by changing only the print head, users can convert their printer
from their existing resolution in a matter of seconds. Whether the application is for shipping labels where
resolution of 203 dpi is sufficient, or for chemically resistant labels used for marking of electronic compo-
nents with high density 2-Dimensional barcodes printed at 600 dpi, the M84
from their existing resolution in a matter of seconds. Whether the application is for shipping labels where
resolution of 203 dpi is sufficient, or for chemically resistant labels used for marking of electronic compo-
nents with high density 2-Dimensional barcodes printed at 600 dpi, the M84
Pro
will meet the application
requirements.

Heavy-Duty Rugged Industrial Design
With its proven rugged design and all-metal construction the M84
Pro
is the ideal printer for heavy-duty in-
dustrial use even in the harshest environments. The M84
Pro
print mechanism and media path are engi-
neered for reliable, long-lasting optimum performance under heavy use in industrial applications. Its fully
enclosed metal enclosure provides full protection of the print mechanism as well as the media, preventing
outside elements from affecting mission-critical applications.

Interface Connectivity Options
The M84
Pro
offers a wide array of interface options. The printer uses a Plug-In Interface Module technol-
ogy, which allows the printers to be not only configured in the factory but as well by the customer, making
it simple to conform to a wide range of host interfaces.
