This month's product spotlight is on enhanced versions of three of Argox's most popular barcode printers.

OS-214plus

One of the most cost-effective and versatile label printers on the market, the original OS-214 is among Argox's all-time best selling printers. The new OS-214plus takes the original design concept further, adding a powerful 32-bit RISC CPU, a substantial increase in memory—8MB DRAM and 4MB Flash ROM, and a USB 2.0 interface. The maximum printing length capability has also increased to 43-inches (1092 mm), more than five times longer than earlier versions. The top of the OS-214plus sports a transparent window that allows users to see when to replace the printing media. For printing duty of less than 5000 labels per day, the OS-214plus offers the best set of features while remaining the lowest cost printer in its class.

X-1000v and X-2000v

The X-1000v and X-2000v printers are newly enhanced models in Argox's line of industrial printers. For high volume printing duty of around 20,000 labels per day, the two new X-series models are the most cost-effective printers in their class. Enhancements include memory upgrades to 8MB DRAM and 4MB Flash ROM, as well as the addition of a USB 2.0 interface. The heavy duty X-1000v and X-2000v printers are constructed of reinforced metal and have a double-support printing module for superior strength and reliability. A user-friendly print mechanism lets users adjust print quality by hand, without the need for special tools. Rugged and high-quality industrial-class printers, the X-1000v and X-2000v feature excellent performance and features for the most competitive price.

Argox was ranked 50th in computer peripherals in the 2008 survey: the TOP5000 - The Largest Corporations in Taiwan, by the China Credit Information Service. The TOP5000 survey has been held annually for the past 38 years. This year's ranking acknowledges Argox's past efforts in R&D, Marketing, and Sales, and strengthens our determination to strive for excellence and build the Argox brand. We look forward to watching Argox continue its climb towards the top in the years ahead.
