Parma, May 2012: VKP80III represents the state-of-art of self-service thermal printers and it perfectly combines the 20 years of Custom experience in the kiosk, banking and self-service industries. The VKP80 of third generation presents exclusive features, is more sturdy, practical and cheaper both in installation and maintenance. Moreover the easy opening cover allows to easily reach the printing head, the rolls and the cutter. The hot swap function allows to remove the printer from the kiosk without switching it off: like a F1 pit-stop! It’s then extremely compact and rich in new functions and technologies such as the new highly performing processor.

VKP80III is flexible thanks to the adjustable roll support and to the ergonomic paper loading, possible from the right or left side of the kiosk, ideal features to adapt to any kind of kiosk. VKP80III is equipped with a patented anti-jamming system and an automatic “CLEAN” command which restores the printer when the jamming is solved.

VKP80III printer is equipped with illuminated paper mouth and paper presenter with ejecting and retracting functions and the new patented feature which allows the printer to deliver the first ticket and print a second copy which will be “collected” in the kiosk without presenting it to the customer; in this way VKP80III guarantees a copy of the ticket/receipt for datalogging or tax recovery.

Other than the most common sensors it’s equipped with the new VeryNotch and TopNotch, omobile sensors able to read the black notch or the holes on the non thermal side (VeryNotch) or thermal side (TopNotch) of the tickets in any position. VKP80III can work in EcoGreen modality to reduce the consumption and integrates an innovative function of auto?diagnosis of the printing head able to supply the percentage of non working dots. It’s available a version which integrates the latest patented "Print&Read" system which allows to print, insert the ticket in the same paper outlet and read the barcode then validate the ticket itself. This system transforms the VKP80III printer in a complete print and read system for applications as access control, parking, games, couponing. VKP80III supports TrueType fonts and can use special fonts such as Chinese and Cyrillic; moreover it allows to update and upload an high number of logos and graphics (up to 2MB) with a simple drag&drop!
