BlueStar Distributing the OC3 3-in. Wireless Portable Thermal Label Printer

Florence, KY—BlueStar, the leading innovator in solutions-based distribution for Auto ID, Point-of-Sale, Mobility and RFID products, is announcing its distribution of O’Neil’s OC3 3-in. Wireless Portable Thermal Label Printer.

O’Neil’s OC3 is the newest member in the company’s mobile printing solution line, and is designed to be approximately 35% smaller in total volume than the closest competitive label printer. It prints label and receipt media up to 3-in. wide and was created to meet the continually expanding requirements associated with Retail, Hospitality, Transportation, Warehousing, Car Rental, and Healthcare applications.

“The retail and label printing community has eagerly awaited a smaller, more reliable portable printer solution for shelf labels, price mark-down, and other labeling applications,” explains Doug Hall, Vice President of Marketing for O’Neil. “The small size and smart styling of the OC3, coupled with increased levels of wireless security, makes it a compelling choice anywhere reliable portable printing is a necessity.”

The OC3 offers optional 802.11 b/g WLAN or WPAN Bluetooth networking capabilities, a wide variety of security options, and a 32-bit RISC ARM 9 processor that allows the printer to process complex applications up to ten times faster. For easy processing of credit or debit card payments, the OC3 also features an optional built-in magnetic stripe card reader. In addition, the OC3 prints high-quality labels at 203 dpi, and utilizes Flash memory for fast adaptability to changing business requirements.

“As more and more businesses move outside the four walls, the demand for reliable and ruggedized hardware is increasing at a very rapid rate. Failure in the field is not an option for many users—and because of O’Neil’s OC3 reliability and fantastic TCO, it is a great choice for many mobile companies,” says Mark Fraker, BlueStar’s Vice President of Marketing.
