The Allegro 2 printer is Datamaxs value-priced printer designed to produce high quality thermal labels on-demand in low to mid-range volumes. The Allegro 2 printer provides the same outstanding print quality and performance as the original Allegro printer at the same economical price.
The Allegro 2 includes a 50 percent increase in print speed to 3 inches (76mm) per second. The printer accommodates up to a standard 8 inch (203mm) outside diameter roll of media and labels. The center plate is welded to the base plate, providing the strongest construction for a printer in this price range.
An economical, corrosion proof and abrasion resistant black
powder paint has replaced the internal anodized metal. A new
rugged printhead carriage and locking mechanism built into the Allegro
2 offers a more user friendly method for loading media
and labels.
Suggested applications for the Allegro 2 printer
include shipping labels, retail labeling, point-of-sale,
prescription labeling, laboratory sample tracking, and document
tracking.
