Zebra Technologies Corporation today announces the release of the KR403 kiosk receipt
printer, the first product in its new KR400 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."
