Why is “mobile” better than “fixed” • Time and motion! • Time saving in walking to-and-from a fixed position printer • Reduce errors by instant, on-the-spot printing • Overall operational efficiency • Conversely, why is ‘fixed’ better? Generally: • Lower product cost per unit • Larger media capacities • Faster print speeds • To sell a mobile solution, the overall ROI must be shown • show total ROI not just features and prices • time savings, error reduction
Bluetooth® versus Wireless LAN Two radio technologies for data communication: which is “better”? Both exist to fulfil specific market requirements • Bluetooth should be considered where: • USB, IrDA or Serial might have been used previously • There is a one-to-one relationship between hand-held and printer • The main operation is outdoors or truly roaming applications • Wireless LAN should be considered where: • Ethernet printers are currently or previously used • There is a many-to-one relationship between
Main Competitors Thermal printer and generally narrow web • Zebra • Datamax / O’Neill / Extech (Dover Corporation) • Intermec • Bixolon (Samsung) • Toshiba • Fujitsu • Star • Woosim • SII Seiko Instruments Inkjet and generally A4 format printers do ‘compete’ in some applications: • Hewlett Packard • Brother • Canon
