Leading regional networking distributor see strong adoption of Zebra desktop label printers in healthcare and warehousing throughout Middle East
OnLine Distribution, Zebra’s leading Middle East networking distribution partner, announced that since its launch of the complete range of printers from Zebra, it has seen a high demand for the desktop range of label printers in the healthcare and warehousing sectors. Zebra Technologies is one of the leading global providers of thermal bar code label and receipt printers, card printers, RFID smart label printer/encoders, supplies, label design/integration software, and the widest range of thermal printer connectivity and networking solutions.
“These printers are top of the range for printers in its class and its adaptive technology makes it the most versatile printer,” pointed out Keith Rich, MD. OnLine Distribution.
The ZPL (Zebra Programming Language) series of desktop printers have a powerful upgraded 32-bit microprocessor installed, which offers superior throughput speed and eliminates processor bottleneck common in other printers in its class. ZPL provides seamless integration with commercial and industrial users multiple connectivity options for easy integration to different hosts, i.e. serial, Parallel or USB.
These printers are ideal for applications that require low-medium print volumes such as address labelling, shipping labels, asset labels etc.
OnLine Distribution was appointed Middle East distributors for Zebra printers in the second half of 2003. Since introducing Zebra’s new products and technology to its partners at the region’s first SMART conference held just before Gitex Dubai 2003, OnLine has seen these printers deployed in the healthcare sector where bar-code labelling has been used in laboratories; warehousing and logistics, and in the retail sector especially in small boutiques.
