We have designed the solution to grow with every additional requirement.\u201c <strong>J\u00f6rg Weber<\/strong>, Managing Director of the Mediaform Group<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>With the Covid-19 vaccine labelling vial, a <strong>MH240T label printer from the manufacturer TSC Auto ID Technology Co.<\/strong> with integrated label dispensing module for an efficient and reliable printing process.<\/p>\n<p>The scan-to-print solution for Covid-19 vaccine labelling syringe and documentation consists of a 2D barcode scanner and the compact <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaform.de\/produkte\/etikettendrucker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-schema-attribute=\"\">Label printer<\/a> of the type Primas 300T from Mediaform<\/strong>. The high-performance thermal transfer printer is particularly suitable for printing small fonts and 2D data matrix barcodes.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201eTo ensure the rapid delivery of the 64 scan-to-print syringe and documentation printers required for the vaccination centre in the Hamburg exhibition halls, our colleagues from Sales, Technology and Support quickly set up a dedicated <em>Production line<\/em> in our logistics building in Reinbek.\u201c <strong>J\u00f6rg Weber<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Because for their important use, the devices first had to be <strong>genuine out-of-the-box systems<\/strong> converted, i.e. assembled, wired and provided with labels, colour ribbons and the corresponding software.<\/p>\n<p>\u201eOur printers, scanning and barcode printing systems were fully operational straight away,\u201c says a delighted J\u00f6rg Weber. Another advantage: the solution is <strong>can be successively expanded as demand grows. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This means that additional printers as well as scanning and barcode printing systems (scan-to-print) can be installed and immediately put into operation regardless of location and without a connection to an IT network. In this way, the solution can also be used for mobile vaccinations.<\/p>\n<p>Source: Mediaform<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Germany's largest coronavirus vaccination centre has opened its doors in Hamburg.
