The flagship of the O’Neil Family is the microFlash 4”
series of serial and wireless portable thermal printers.
For wireless applications, the new 4te enhanced
version comes with Bluetooth and 802.11b/g
connectivity options. It also boasts lighting fast
processing, external LED status indicators, an
external charging port and quick release battery
clamps. The original 4t is available in serial and IrDA
configurations only.
The 4t/4teseries offers the most reliable performance
available, printing outstanding quality 4” receipts,
proofs of delivery, labels and invoices. Small and
lightweight, the 4t/4teis simply the finest choice
worldwide for route accounting, direct store delivery,
field service, logistics, home delivery and pre-sales
systems. The 4t/4teprints direct thermal receipts and
invoices, as well as linered and linerless labels. It can
also print a condensed 80-column font receipt,
providing a lightweight portable alternative to larger
or vehicle-bound 80-column printers. Its reliable print
mechanism offers outstanding print clarity, allowing
the printing of graphics, bar codes and logos.
Rugged and Reliable. With uncompromising
standards, the 4t/4teis engineered throughout to
withstand even the most punishing portable
applications, and is the only portable 4” printer that
provides the durability required in the demanding field
mobile environment. Designed to take multiple 6’
drops to concrete, the unbreakable double-walled
polyethylene case protects your investment; taking all
the bumps and knocks inherent in the mobile
workplace.
Wireless Printing. When wireless is a necessity,
count on O’Neil to offer the most reliable solution. All
wireless 4teconfigurations feature advanced 32-bit
architecture RISC processor for light-speed
processing. Our wireless local area network solution
incorporates an integrated 802.11b/g module
connecting the printer to your wireless network. Our
Bluetooth®module offers the convenience of a
wireless personal area network, eliminating the need
for mobile workers to return to their vehicle to print
receipts or tickets. O’Neil was the first portable printer
manufacturer to incorporate the Bluetooth protocol in
Flash memory, eliminating the need for costly
software and hardware upgrades whenever the
wireless specification changes.
Power to Spare. Two Lithium-Ion batteries offer
maximum power capacity for a full 8-hour shift or
longer, even under the toughest conditions. The
4t/4tecan print as many as 13,440", that’s almost 2,240
– 6" receipts, on a single battery charge. Its automatic
“sleep” mode saves power and the fast four hour
recharging time, along with optional vehicle charger,
provides an ideal solution for long and intense printing
applications.
Flash Memory.As business changes, so might your
printer needs. We pioneered the use of Flash memory
many years ago allowing you to change fonts and
functions simply by connecting the printer to a computer.
No need to return the printer for an upgrade.
We Speak Your Language – Any Language. O’Neil
has eliminated the font and character limitations
found in other printers. In cooperation with
Bitstream®fonts, any international character set can
be added to the printer with a minimal setup fee.
Two Year Warranty. The 4t/4te’srock-solid print
mechanism is proven to provide years of service
where other printers fail. The full two year warranty,
even on the printhead*, offers peace of mind with our
promise to stand behind every product we sell.
