BEAR Purchase Epson's EU-T432

December 2004

Bear Solution's are one of Australia's leading developers and manufacturers of card-and-account based financial systems. Bear Solutions supplies Cash Card Terminals to university campuses where by students are able to purchase new cards or add credit for services such as photocopying, printing, automated library lending systems and boom gate operation. The EU -T432 has many features that have been beneficial for the Card Cashiers, least of which is it has simply allowed the Card Cashier to be more visually high -tech and is reliable and robust suitable to rough treatment. The EU-T432 provides sensor technology which alerts the Card Cashier's on-board computer when the paper is running low or at the end of a roll triggering a predetermined and configured alert response. This same sensor is able to adjust printing and cutting distance as required. Due to the small form factor of the EU-T432, BEAR was able to accommodate a larger paper roll reducing maintenance visits and additionally increasing the ease of loading a new role. The EU-T432 has a 'print-then-feed' system avoiding printer jams and the paper feeds in barely a few seconds. The EU-T432 provides all of these benefits at an extremely competitive price.
