NEW SERIES OF SEIKO INSTRUMENTS KIOSK PRINTERS SETS THE BAR FOR
SELF-SERVICE PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY

Seiko Instruments USA Inc. (SIU) Thermal Printer Division,
http://www.siiprinters.com, a globally recognized leader in thermal
printer technology, today introduced three high-performance additions
to its APU-9000 line of kiosk printers. The new C series kiosk
printers deliver unsurpassed performance and reliability, with
blazingly fast 250 mm/sec print speeds, a minimum 150 kilometers total
output, and over one million cuts. With support for extreme
temperatures -- from -20C to +60C -- the printers are an ideal choice
for indoor and outdoor kiosk deployment. A very small footprint and a
choice of 2-, 3-, and 4-inch print width models give significant
design flexibility, ensuring easier integration in retail,
self-checkout, healthcare, hospitality, and banking self-service
applications.

"These new high-performance kiosk printers demonstrate our
commitment to providing innovative solutions for the growing
self-service sector," said Kaz Onishi, Vice President and General
Manager, Seiko Instruments USA. "The new C series models offer an
unbeatable combination of speed, reliability, and design flexibility."

The new C series printers extend the existing Seiko Instruments
APU-9000 kiosk printer line. The 2- and 3-inch print width models are
available now, and a 4-inch model is planned for Q4 this year. The
printers are based on the industry's leading direct thermal printer
mechanism: the Seiko Instruments CAP9000. The rugged CAP9000 was
developed specifically for the demanding requirements of
high-performance indoor and outdoor kiosk applications. The
unsurpassed performance and reliability of the CAP9000 directly
improves self-service application user experience, reducing wait time
while receipts print and lowering kiosk operating costs.

Measuring 5.5" (wide) by 6.5" (deep) by 5.2" (high), the small
footprint of the 2- and 3-inch printer models eases integration. The
printers offer 203 dots per inch (dpi) resolution, accommodate a wide
range of media thicknesses, and can operate as a ticket printer or
receipt printer. USB, Serial, and Parallel connectivity are supported,
and an optional looping presenter further improves reliability.
