Printer Interface Unit

Sabtech (Yorba Linda, CA) has announced its new Printer Interface Unit™ (PIU). The technology allows any commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) printer to be used in place of a militarized PT-540 or compatible printer. Sabtech’s PIU has passed U.S. military environmental qualification tests, including shock, vibration, temperature, humidity, electromagnetic interference (EMI), airborne noise, altitude, and drip.

A PT-540 printer can be connected directly to the compact, fanless unit via USB or the built-in Ethernet port, and can be located on a network with appropriate configuration. Input power and data connectors are plug-compatible with those on the PT-540 printer, allowing existing cables to be easily connected. Power to the printer is provided from the PIU, eliminating the need to run new cabling at the installation site.
