GEC NEWS WIREEvolis introduces a new touch screen color option for its range of desktop card printers: Primacy, Zenius and Elypso. First of his generation to be installed on direct-to-card printing systems, it enables the user to interact in real time with the printer without being in front of the PC.
Set in 16 languages, the touch screen of 2.4 inches by Evolis is ideal for desk applications (transport, banking, retail) and any other use for which the card printer is far from the computer. This new option is a real time saver for the users because he or she can set the printer directly from the touch screen, start or cancel a print job, view the status of ribbons and cards, or can even trigger a cleaning.
Evolis has given special importance to the readability and understanding of the information from the screen. The icons have been studied to be as explicit as possible. In addition, a visual step by step wizard guides the user through the printer cleaning. Help messages appear to solve common problems, and a beep sounds when an error occurs.
“We developed the touch screen to meet the special needs for autonomy of some users. It actually makes managing the printer easier, particularly when the latter is far from the computer that is usually the driver”, said Agnes Puel, Product Manager at Evolis.
