The new and upgraded Maxatec MT-200 is a high performance direct thermal receipt printer with a printing speed of 200mm per second. With complete ease-of-use, drop-in paper loading and adjustable (50 to 82.5 mm) paper widths, the new MT-200 offers a fully flexible receipt printer suitable for high volume receipt printing applications in the retail and hospitality sectors.

Andrea Percival, managing director of Maxatec said: 'The single station receipt printing market is extremely competitive, and we are constantly looking at our product set to ensure that it remains well specified, quality assured as well as being pitched at the right price point. We took a long look at the existing product offering and decided that the new MT-200 could bring together a higher specification and a lower price for our customers. Basically they get more for less. As with the MT-150, the new and upgraded MT-200 is easy to use, compact and powerful, offering users a first class product at an economical price, and backed by a 2 year warranty. We will continue to ship the MT-150 but we anticipate that customers will gradually migrate over to the MT-200.'

The MT-200 is easy to integrate into existing applications with plug and play features. The small footprint creates a truly compact, economical and powerful printer - with high speed printing of easy-to-read receipts with logos, bar codes, coupons and marketing messages. Complemented by a full driver suite - Windows® Printer Driver (XP, 2000, 2003, WEPOS), OPOS(TM) and Linux, the MT-200 comes with a USB interface as standard, and is also available with additional interfaces: RS232, IEEE 1284 (parallel), Ethernet, and WiFi 802.11b.
