Printer Overview

The IBM SureMark printers are high-performance, high-function printers. The
SureMark is available in several models:
v Models TI5 and TG5 feature a thermal customer receipt station and an impact

document insert station. The dual printheads enable quiet, fast printing at the
customer receipt station while providing the capability to print and frank checks
and to print multipart forms through the document insert station.

v Models TF7 and TM7 are single-station thermal printers. They contain no

document insert station. These models cost less, weigh less, and have a smaller
footprint than the Models TI5 and TG5 printer. Models TF7 and TM7 have been
designed for wall mounting, if desired by the retailer.
