CipherLab Mobile Computers Earns Star Micronics Certification
Nov 20, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) --
CipherLab, a provider of Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) solutions for the retail, warehouse and distribution markets, announced that Star Micronics America has certified CipherLab's 9471 handheld mobile computer as compatible with its four-inch TSP800 Point of Service (POS) printer.
Certification from the POS printer manufacturer means that workers in industries such as public safety, healthcare, retail, and logistics can mobilize and automate receipt printing using a CipherLab handheld. This dual mobile printing solution, now available through BlueStar, results in increased efficiencies, according to the company.
"By wirelessly pairing a CipherLab mobile computer with our Point of Service printers, workers can enter data immediately and print information while on the go without the need to haul large devices. This means they can take work with them wherever and whenever - saving time and ultimately money," said Christophe Naasz, Director of Business Development at Star Micronics America. "Working with the CipherLab product was a pleasure. Its Windows CE operating system allowed us to connect within minutes. The CipherLab 9471's rugged form-factor matched with the TSP800's high-speed and ease of use provided a perfect mobile solution."
"This Star Micronics-CipherLab joint offering gives workers greater mobility than a laptop," said Al Crawford, Vice President of Technology at CipherLab. "Because the CipherLab 9471 can collect data by scanning or data entry, it can eliminate handwritten notes, thereby, decreasing transcription mistakes. For example, a police officer can issue a citation on the spot, saving them a back-and-forth trip to their patrol car. And when the officer returns to their vehicle, a paper citation will already be printed and ready to go.
"Another time-saving aspect of this joint solution is the signature capture feature on our CipherLab handheld. This feature allows for instantaneous printing on Star Micronics devices. This is particularly useful for sensitive transactions such as medical prescriptions."
Both CipherLab and BlueStar, a Star Micronics distributor, see this certification as a time and money-saver for resellers.
"The fact that we offer a pre-tested, turn-key, integrated mobile computer and printer solution reduces the time and resources end-users need to choose the right products for their business while helping resellers add to their bottom line," said Rob Dorsey, Vice President of U.S. sales at Blue Star.
