The software can even be set to send email alerts or SMS, making easier remote maintenance operations. The multi-position paper roll holder can be located above, behind or below the printer. It is ideal for Self service Kiosks, ATMs & Banking machines, Gaming machines, Parking Pay, Vending machines and other similar applications.
With its ARM processor, the VKP80II ETH is twice as powerful as the standard version, offering unique performance as a kiosk and ATM printer. The great innovation is the Ethernet interface with integrated web server and IP address that assures the remote monitoring of the device, for full diagnostics of the printer conditions in real time.
A further advantage of the VKP80II ETH Ethernet interface is the possibility to eliminate the PC card installed on the self-service kiosk, with savings in terms of both costs and maintenance: everything can be controlled by the central server via Ethernet! Thanks to its integrated client mailing, the VKP80II ETH automatically sends an e-mail to inform you of any problem, or let you know that you are running out of paper. The integrated server also allows for remote planning: it is possible to install applications, updates and configurations in real time, via the web!
