Field relies on the Datamax-O’neil E-4205 printer to create readable and consistent labels for inventory locations from bins to totes.
Field came to Barcodes, Inc. to find a technologically efficient way to update, track and maintain inventory levels at their customer’s locations. Barcodes, Inc. recommended a complete barcoding solution with the combination of Datamax-O’neil printers and labels. This combination allows for the user to quickly load labels into the printer and for the printer to easily connect to scanners or laptops for efficient printing. Field Fastening continues to outfit their VMI locations with Datamax-O’neil printers and labels from Barcodes, Inc.

Case Study: Datamax-O’Neil Performance Series Meets the Challenge of Small Text and Data on Cryogenic Labels
For a leading ISO 13485:2003-certified OEM manufacturer of enzymes, meeting the rigorous demands of commercial entities engaged in the development, manufacture, and distribution of platforms dedicated to nucleic-acid identification is a daily challenge. Enzymes are critical to the performance of these applications, and the industry’s relentless pursuit of higher performance emphasizes the need for analytical-reagent purity and absolute production consistency.
Operating from the perspective that they are “a manufacturing division of their customer,” the company consistently delivers the highest quality and value enzymes, leveraging them to drive customer success via a business partnership model. Part of that consistent delivery means labeling goods so that they are easily and accurately identified when they arrive in the lab.
Problem
When enzymes are manufactured, they start in batches of 50-gallon vats, and then are broken down into small vials as part of a kit sold to research and testing facilities. These vials must be labeled individually; the labels include a great deal of data, two-dimensional barcodes, and very small type. Because of the temperatures at which they need to be maintained, cryogenic polypropylene labels are used.
Honeywell Expands Scanning And Mobility Portfolio With Acquisition Of Datamax-O’Neil
Honeywell has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Datamax-O’Neil, a global manufacturer of fixed and mobile printers used in a variety of retail, warehouse and distribution, and health care applications, for $185 million. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2015 subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory review.
The acquisition builds on Honeywell’s existing scanning and rugged mobile thermal printing products, and will extend that to include RFID, receipt, label and other specialty printing applications. This deal follows Honeywell’s 2013 acquisition of Intermec, which essentially doubled the company’s revenue in the highly attractive scanning and mobility segment.

Datamax-O’Neil Announces H-8308p PCL Thermal Printer
The Datamax-O’Neil H-8308p thermal label printer is designed to combine the best features of Datamax-O’Neil’s H-Class and Performance Series thermal-printer models, namely compatibility with the Printer Command Language (PCL) standard for interfacing with enterprise software and databases, media width of 9”/228.6 mm and a print length of 99”/2,515 mm.
The H-8308p can improve operational capabilities in the most demanding industrial label printing applications.
The H-8308p is also highly adaptive and one of the only models that can provide the wide range of data typically found in laser printers—as required by Managed Print Services—but at improved efficiencies, especially when used in high-speed or high-coverage applications. Additionally, Datamax-O’Neil has engineered the H-8308p thermal printer to feature an embedded open-source Linux operating system and HP-compatible language capabilities. The result is a thermal label printer solution that is ideal for a wide range of thermal labels, tags and documents that is extremely easy to integrate, use and maintain, and offers significant energy savings over laser printers.

Datamax-O’Neil’s New Wide-Width p1725 Printer
The p1725 printer is the newest member of the Performance Series and is designed to be the industry’s most easy to use, easy to load and easy to integrate 7-inch labeling solution.

The p1725 automatically adjusts itself to maximize print quality and increase printhead life, while the color touchscreen display eases daily operation and maintenance. The unique auto-load feature virtually eliminates label waste, and by utilizing the industry standard HP compatible PCL print language and Linux operating system, the p1725 is easily integrated into SAP and other ERP network environments.
Understanding PCL and its Important Benefits
Integrating printers into existing network environments is often a challenging endeavor, even for the most experienced information systems specialists. Thermal printers equipped with PCL makes the job fast and easy.
When Datamax-O’Neil set out to design its Performance Series thermal transfer printers for the retail, hospitality, healthcare, distribution, warehousing, manufacturing, transportation, public service, government and financial industries, it focused on improving overall print quality and end-user experience.
The printers’ 300 dpi print heads and full-color, LCD touch displays have turned heads in the marketplace since being introduced in 2011; but their greatest improvement lies not in what’s on the outside, but in the ground-breaking application of standard printer languages and open-source software development modules that give technology administrators freedom to define how the printers will operate within their organizations.
