BOURNE END, England, April 15, 2010 - Zebra Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: ZBRA) today announces the release
of the KR403 kiosk receipt printer, the first product in its new KR400(TM)
series. The new KR403 offers a range of printing solutions for self-service
customer kiosks and can be utilised across a number of application needs such
as loyalty coupons, bill payment, self-ordering at supermarkets and
entertainment kiosks.
Designed for easy integration, the KR403 has a compact footprint ideal
for space-restricted applications, and it offers a wide range of printer and
media mounting configurations. This model also includes expanded memory,
increased driver support and Zebra Programming Language command language that
allows for expanded integration capabilities. The KR403 is the only kiosk
printer on the market offering Unicode-compliant encoding for international
character printing and has the most fonts and bar code sets than any kiosk
printer - including the GS1 databar barcodes required in retail.
"Kiosks are the best option for staff-constrained retailers focusing on
implementing new initiatives to increase customer loyalty and satisfaction,"
said Peter Gooding, Customer Applications Team Manager, Zebra Technologies
Europe Ltd. "Zebra has recognised the increase in demand from both retailers
and customers for self-service applications to improve store efficiencies,
and created the KR400 series to facilitate those companies looking to invest
in this growing trend."
