PAL

PAL™ is both a powerful printing language and programming language, many print applications not previously possible are now within reach. Implementation is made easy with our plug and play capability - saving the IT team time and effort. In addition to popular emulations, our proprietary PAL™ programming language resides in the smart printer allowing us to load an app that will accept your data stream and convert, format and print to fit your organization’s requirements, including both linear and 2D barcodes. You can unplug any existing printer and replace it with any of our Fastmark models. And, ongoing service and support, including future changes to the PAL™ app, if needed, are available for the life of the printer.

Now you don’t have to get a different software-specific printer for every application in your facility. PAL™ enabled printers such as the Fastmark™ line can translate, filter, interpret and understand almost any data stream. You can now replace obsolete devices with costeffective, high-print-quality thermal printers -- with no expensive software changes.

Here is a brief overview:

• Quick, high-resolution printing of labels, tags and more
• Features PAL™ (no host/PC software reprogramming required!)
• Works for all departments, regardless of what software they’re using
• Can be run even when the system is down (label format is stored in printer)
• Offers plug and play convenience

Barcodes can be added to existing print jobs without changing host/PC software

How does PAL™ enable you to print your current data stream—without reprogramming your system?

PAL™ is not only a powerful printing language, it is also a fully functional programming language. Utilizing this manual, powerful PAL™ programs may be written and loaded in the printer to perform a variety of tasks such as interpreting legacy data steams. Or we can prepare a PAL program for each of your applications and pre-load it into your PAL™ enabled printer such as Fastmark™ at the factory. These programs enable the PAL™ enabled printer to print labels by filling in the variable fields using your current data stream. This data stream could have been intended for a laser, dot matrix, ink jet or embossing printer. And, you don’t have to worry about the software driver in the host, because the formatting is all done within the printer. PAL™ enabled printers such as Fastmark are packed with features and options such as:

• Parallel and serial ports
• Optional Ethernet, Twinax, Coaxial and USB communication
• Extensive on-board complement of linear and 2-D symbology barcodes
• Smooth scalable fonts
• Expandable memory options
• Flash memory drives for storing PAL™ programs and other data.
• Optional external keyboard for stand-alone applications
• SRAM and Flash memory cards
• Optional real-time clock (RTC) with Flash memory
• Optional Peel and Present with label taken sensor
• Optional Cutters
• Rugged cabinet construction

All PAL™ enabled products include the latest in Windows™ drivers.
