Product Spotlight: Codonics EP1650 Printer

The EP-1650 Digital Printer is another version of the dye diffusion/direct thermal mode printer. The EP stands for “Economy Printer” because the product sacrifices some of the bells and whistles available on the NP models in an effort to keep costs to a minimum, company officials say. The network version supports up to eight media sizes and provides both Ethernet and Centronics compatible parallel interfaces. It outputs grayscale and color at 256 levels. Beyond these main products, Codonics offers the 1600 line of imagers, the predecessors to the 1660 line.
