Each device offers a highly reliable, user friendly, thermal label printing solution that is backed by a Two-Year Advanced Overnight Exchange Warranty[i].
Within its booth, OKI Data will also demonstrate how retailers can reduce costs by printing in-store and on-demand, as well as how to improve efficiencies by deploying multifunction printers within stores and using Scan-to-Email document management tools. Attendees will learn how they can enable IT staff to more productively manage their print devices and control print cost across their operation with tools like PrintSuperVision, and Color Access Policy Manager (CAPM), OKI Data will also demonstrate solutions that provide a portable, secure and cost-effective way to print from mobile devices.
