KEY BENEFITS: Minimum consumables, lowest printer operating cost Employs proven aviation printer technology Paper tested to 95% humidity and temperature extremes of -15 to 71°C Paper tested and certified to comply with ASTM (American Society of Testing & Materials) and TAPPI (Technical Association of the Pulp & Paper Industry) standards for reliable operation with printer Paper print will not smudge and adjacent forms will not stick together Paper resists degradation when exposed to solvents such as water, gasoline, oil and grease. Paper print legible after long exposure to direct sunlight Certified on large population of air transport and business jets Quiet printer operation will not distract crew The most compact printer available for installation on flight-deck, in bulkhead, partition, video control center or purser station. Miltope's TP-4429 thermal printer is the most compact printer available for reliable operation in congested cockpits. In normal operation, 10 characters per inch are printed in 40 columns at a rate of 160 lines per minute. High resolution characters are printed using a 16 x 20 pixel print head, generating a hard copy on 4.25" paper. A paper cutting edge facilitates paper tear off at the end of print job. The front panel indicators provide visible viewing under all cockpit lighting conditions. Low Maintenance Modular Design Use of modular components allows individual bench-testing of components to facilitate turnaround time during repair. Reliability is optimized utilizing a solid-state, multiple function print head that has no moving parts. Extensive built-in test capabilities allow error detection during operation and can be used for depot level maintenance.
