Mylox MLX8220 & MLX8240 Portable Impact Printers
The MLX-8220 and MLX-8240 from Mylox Technologies incorporate the popular Epson M190 and M192 impact dot matrix printer mechanisms and a highly customisable interface board.
Internal, high capacity, Li-ion rechargeable batteries are accessible for user maintenance via a hatch on the underside. The printer can be operated direct from a 12V DC source such as a vehicle or from the universal AC adapter (included) with or without the batteries fitted. Paper and ink ribbon are easily changed by opening the hinged top cover. The simple and effective LED illuminated push button functions as a status indicator, paper advance and self test feature (customisable).
The standard interface is RS-232C serial but USB and Bluetooth versions are also available. This printer is highly adaptable and customised firmware, fontsets and functionality can be supplied. Please contact us to discuss your unique requirements.
