While supporting paper saving features to reduce paper consumption up to 25%, alongside decreased CO2 emissions.

Ideal for unmanned kiosks, the mechanism’s low maintenance, open frame design with easily adjustable paper guide and numerous customizable bezel options offer simple printer customization. While operating in temperatures between -20~60°C (-4~140°F).
