DESCRIPTION
HOW IS IT BUILT?
Ermes Smart Printer is built by an additional module integrated in the Evolis printer that allows you to connect the printer to the internet world. In this way the user can use the services made available by Ermes or independently develop services that allow you to automatically print the card directly from mobile devices. It supports all operating systems that have the use of a browser available.
PRINTING PROCESS
The graphic processing of the badges takes place on the web server which sends the bitmap to be printed to the printer.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Ermes Smart Printer is based on an ARM microprocessor with Linux on board, it is preconfigured at the factory, the only prerequisite is an Ethernet line with internet access via DHCP (dynamic IP configuration protocol).
Ermes Smart Printer automatically takes the IP address and starts "talking" to the server to find out what to do.
The communication protocol with the web server is free and can be provided to those customers who intend to develop their own web server.
WHICH PROCESSES DO YOU CONTROL?
Ermes Smart Printer is able to check the operating states of the printer such as:
- Card presence
- Ribbon presence
- Lid opening
- Ribbon capacity
- Card missing on cleaning
