The MCP7810 is an ultra-compact, lightweight portable printer with an “easy-load” paper feature.

Housed in a new innovative enclosure this printer has an RS232 serial interface via a 6-way RJ12 socket.

Designed for maximum versatility, the MCP7810 is compatible with existing systems whilst allowing many upgrades in terms of printing speed and functionality.

It is powered from NiMH batteries and has maintenance free operation, only available with thermal printers. The standard unit may be continuously trickle charged from a mains power adapter, and a fast charge facility is incorporated. UK, Euro, US and Universal versions of the power adapter are available.

Many different modes of operation are possible, including numerous character sets, all selectable by software commands.

The MCP7810 is one of a family of thermal printers designed and manufactured in the UK by Martel. All units are built into robust ABS housings, with a choice of colours. We would be pleased to discuss the possibility of customising any aspect of the printer to specific requirements.
