EZCODE® EZL500 Thermal Label Printer

Thomas & Betts has introduced the new EZCODE® EZL500 Thermal Label Printer as an easy-to-use tool that can work in more environments than any other thermal label printer on the market. The new EZL500 features a large LCD screen that makes viewing easy, and the backlit display enables use in low-light environments. Plus, an integral cassette sensor automatically adjusts the unit to the tape’s width and media type, eliminating reprogramming with each tape switch. Size matters when it comes to thermal label printers. The EZL500’s ergonomic design makes it easy to carry and the oversized, wide-spaced keys help reduce typing mistakes. Rubber overmolding enables a firm grip and helps to protect the unit in case of an accidental drop. “The EZL500 answers a specific market need for a competitive heavy-duty hand-held printer for the electrical industry,” said Dan Vega, product manager at Thomas & Betts. “The EZL500 offers a great addition to the EZCODE line of products. We are confident that the printer will be the easiest to use in the market.” The printer’s powerful firmware is also easy to use and makes operation intuitive. The printer package includes PC connection software and a built-in mini USB port. This allows users to download upgrades, logos and additional symbols to the EZL500 printer. For extra versatility, the EZL500 printer handles a variety of tapes, ranging from a quarter-inch to an inch wide. Tape materials come in nylon, polyester, heat-shrink material and self-laminating vinyl. One of the optional benefits include a long-life, rechargeable, 7.4-volt Li-ion battery.
