The Avery Dennison AP5.4 Series are 300dpi flat-head thermal transfer printers  suitable for printing type plates, self-adhesive labels, paper, card and plastic such as PE, PP, PVC and PA at high speed. With matched media consumables the results are impressive: an excellent printed image that is resistant to environmental influences, chemicals and abrasion.

Operation of the printer has been analysed and simple operation and straightforward operating controls make it easy to work with the AP 5.4.  Labels and foils can be changed very easily, as the material feed opens at the side. It is also very easy to replace print heads and print drums.  No tools or special accessories are required to change the print head.  The print pressure of the print head can be varied very easily using the adjustment screw. In addition, the graphical display shows status messages and menu guidance in a user-friendly manner.

Additionally, for applications that require a printer to be operated in a 'stand-alone' manner (that is, without attachment to a PC or network host), the AP5.4 can be operated offline, with label formats and graphics stored on a memory card using the  in-built Compact-Flash slot. 

Key advantages of the AP5.4 Series are: 

• Flat print head for wide media compatibility
• Stand-Alone Operation (without host or PC control)
• Top quality print results with 300dpi print quality
• System compatibility with Ethernet and ZPL (Zebra) emulation
• Real-Time Clock
• RFID modules are available for extended future-proofing

Also, being part of the Avery Dennison range, the AP5.4 Series internal control language (Easy-Plug, ZPL) and interfaces (Ethernet with either Static IP or DHCP) allow for ease of integration into either stand-alone workstations or corporate networks.

The AP5.4 Series is supported by Advanced Barcoding Solutions range of label design and printing software, and, via our technical services team, full on-site engineering support is available.
