IBM SUREMARK 1ND - Manual (Page 4)

A new world standard for retail receipt printers
and peripherals color changes. Snap-in
interface adapters, USB, RS-232 and
RS-485 make migration to new system
platforms easier and cost effective.
Usage statistics are not only available
locally but can be acted upon remotely
by RMA and can be used to extend
printer life with proactive servicing and
wear leveling to minimize downtime.
Fewer service trips translate into sav-
ings in travel and valuable employee
time and less impact on the
environment.
Supremely Green! Saving the environment
and your bottom line!
IBM sets new world standards in eco-
friendly POS technology with new
SureMark single-station printers.
Extending the IBM commitment to envi-
ronmental stewardship, IBM SureMark
printers are the first designed to use
polymer film, an emerging advanced
receipt media that is fully recyclable.
The new receipt material has multiple
layers of polymer film for strength and
opacity but is much thinner than
standard paper media. Each roll is
19% longer than a paper roll, meaning
less environmental impact, fewer
roll changes and less printer and
employee downtime. In fact, using an
IBM SureMark printer with polymer
receipts on a larger roll reduces envi-
ronmental waste and total cost of own-
ership significantly more than printers
with two sided receipt media (2ST).
Minimum impact at end of life reduces
costs and waste
IBM SureMark printer packaging is
100% recyclable, including box and
inserts. The high-density polyethylene
(HDPE) inserts are made from recycled
post-consumer waste and can be
stacked in very little space, reducing
transportation and packaging disposal
costs. Printer plastics and metal parts
are also recyclable, minimizing the envi-
ronmental impact of disposal when the
product reaches end of life. For environ-
mentally conscious recycling and dis-
posal options, IBM Asset Recovery
Solutions3 offers a fully compliant,
enterprise-wide asset disposal
program.
Newly designed packaging includes high-density polyethylene (HDPE) inserts made from recycled post-
consumer waste, saving space for energy and cost-efficient shipping and disposal. Box and inserts are
100% recyclable
