Tanto Systems specialises in label printing solutions for a wide range of applications and markets. Providing RFID and RFID-ready systems enables clients to invest in new equipment, safe in the knowledge that their equipment will be suitable for future RFID encoding.

Our range of specialist integration services, including emulation of other printer languages such as ZPL (Zebra), DPL (Datamax) enables clients to switch brands without needing to change software. We can also make our printers work with other printer types including laser and impact.

To complement our range of hardware and integration services we also provide high specification stationary and consumables, together with comprehensive after sales service support. Key features and benefits of our range of equipment and services are as follows: -

Head up function, reducing damage to the chips during printing
Using Toshiba TEC's Ribbon save technology the print head can be raised to allow it to skip the RFID chip contained in the label.
This unique function removes the possibility of impact or pressure damage to both the head and the chip. The end result of which is the continued long life of the printhead and fewer chip failures after printing.

Supported RFID tags
For 13.56 MHz:

• Tagsys (C210, C220 and C240)
• I-Code
• Tag-It
• ISO15693.

For UHF 560-920 MHz:

• ISO18000 type 6
• EPC Class 0
• EPC Class 1
• EPC Class 1.19.

Basic Command Interpreter (BCI)
This is Toshiba TEC's powerful user programmable interface. Using this it is possible to use other RFID R/W modules with the B-SX series printer to extend the frequencies and chips available. It also allows the possibility to uniquely tailor the programming of the chips to your exact requirements.
Compliance with TEC Printer Command Language (TPCL)
The RFID function have been added to the existing TPCL control language making it easy for programmers on legacy systems to add this function to existing systems.
Windows driver
The printer driver will also support the RFID function allowing chips to be encoded from most Windows applications.

Tanto Systems specialises in making new label printers work with legacy data streams. We provide migration solutions for organisation’s whose mainframe or host computer system has embedded printer code written for a specific brand or type of printer.
This powerful capability enables organisations to replace old, unreliable or end-of-life label printers, without changing host software.

Key benefits include:

- No changes are needed at the host end, so new equipment can be introduced into existing software environments. Organisations can minimise risk and the need for time-consuming and often costly host re-programming.
- Enables outgoing equipment to be replaced gradually, plug-compatibility allows both new and old printers work in a single software environment.
- New label printers can replace different types of printer populations including direct thermal/thermal transfer, laser and impact.

Our solutions typically do not use PC software or black-box converters. We provide printers which have on-board capability to interpret and convert incoming data .
We can provide replacement label printer solutions for almost all printer manufacturers and types including manufacturers such as: Zebra, Datamax, Sato, Meto, Intermec, Citizen, Eltron, IBM, FACIT, Printronix, HP, and Lexmark.

Based on its hugely successful predecessor the B-211, used in major portable applications the world over, the B-SP2D is completely compatible with B-211 software and supplies.
It can communicate with pocket PCs or other mobile and static devices at an amazing six times faster than the B-211, either via its serial, infra-red, Bluetooth™, or WiFi™ interfaces.

(Bluetooth is a trademark owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc., U.S.A. and licensed to TOSHIBA TEC Corporation.)

Labels and receipts up to half a metre in length can be issued either in batch or peel-off modes. Loading the labels in either mode is only a matter of ‘drop and close’ thanks to the removable peel roller.

With successful completion of 3rd party interoperability testing and all other requirements of the Cisco Compatible Extensions Program*, the B-SP2D printer is now compatible with Cisco Aironet® access points.

Speed
As with all TOSHIBA TEC products, speed is of key importance, and with a maximum print speed of over 3 inches a second and the latest high-speed 32-bit processor there’s certainly no standing around!
Compact, light and hands-free
The B-SP2D can easily fit in the palm of your hand. Weighing in at only 380 grams including the battery, the B-SP2D leads the way in portability. It can be worn either vertically or horizontally using the adjustable belt clip.
Optional carry cases that incorporate shoulder straps are also available.
Efficient battery use
The ultra-light lithium ion battery allows for at least 600 40mm high labels to be printed before the battery status indicator reminds the user that charging is required. Battery power is also conserved with the new variable automatic power-off function.
Low cost of ownership
Equipped with a high quality 203dpi thermal head that has an expected life of at least 25 kilometres, the new B-SP2D assures a lower overall cost of ownership.
It has been designed for use in all types of environments, and its rugged rubber casing protects it from drops of up to one and a half metres.
Backed up with TOSHIBA TEC’s unrivalled technical support and service, this printer is ideal for any business on the move.
