There’s one correct answer to the strictest printing perform ance demands—the PRINTER 900. Positioned at the top of the VeriFone ®  line, the PRINTER 900 is fast, reliable and 100% compatible with VeriFone-developed PRINTER 200 and 250 text applications. As a premium roll printer that can increase merchant productivity, the PRINTER 900 earns the highest marks.

Swifter Transactions

The PRINTER 900 has significantly reduced average transaction time, and there are several reasons why. Its raw print speed is a swift 3.7 lines per second. It has a separate motor for paper advance, plus a print head that prints in both directions for increased efficiency. And it features a three-line buffer that allows printing to continue while the terminal is processing.

As a result, the PRINTER 900 prints a receipt twice as fast as the industry standard. This means quicker transactions, shorter checkout lines, happier customers and higher volume.

An A+ In Reliability And Compatibility

The PRINTER 900 has a print head life of 100 million characters, a significant performance breakthrough. The overall mechanism has a reliability measure of 2.5 million lines. These factors ensure that the PRINTER 900 provides years of reliable performance.

For PRINTER 250 owners seeking to upgrade, the PRINTER 900 is the obvious choice. It is 100% compatible with all VeriFone-developed PRINTER 200 and 250 text appplications. Even applications that work in graphics mode require only minor modifications to run the PRINTER 900. And, of course, the PRINTER 900 connects to any VeriFone terminal that supports printers.

Extra Credit For User-Friendliness

The PRINTER 900 has a number of features that make it remarkably easy to operate and maintain. For example, integrated paper roll support arms help keep the paper in place without need of a spindle, an item that is frequently misplaced. Automatic paper feeding ensures trouble-free loading And a high-yield ribbon, developed exclusively by VeriFone, has a life of 2.0 million characters—to minimize the cost of ownership. Additionally, paper-low/paper-out sensors inform you of the status of your paper supply.

The PRINTER 900: A Class Of Its Own

Think of the PRINTER 900 as the leading performer in the roll printer category. Not everybody needs the extra speed or reliability. But for maximum printing performance in a variety of high transaction volume environments—including restaurants, retail shops, grocery stores, convenience stores and gas stations—the PRINTER 900 is in a class of its own.
