We just went through an evaluation for cassette printers that produce a 2D bar code. Top features we looked for:
Print Accession#, last name/first initial, and 2D bar code under 10 seconds a cassette Minimal jamming/defects of printed cassettes, 1 defect/100 cassette or less Tubed or taped cassettes for hoppers for quick and easy loading Cost of cassettes available for use time and complexity of daily, weekly, monthly maintenance of instrument Ease of use by employees Interfaced to multiple LIS Compatible with work flow software and vendor supported We found that the cassette printers fell into three are types of printers available, tape/ribbon transfer, ink jet and laser etching. All three types have there pluses and minuses.
