cab Printer Is A Solution  
Many VARs are in search of solutions to provide their customers to differentiate themselves from the competition. The cab printer can be your solution.

cab offers the best solution for any application needing an operator to generate a static label or any variable label. It eliminates the PC to generate a label which reduces the cost and space needed for the label print station. This will increase the areas a label print station can fit and the types of harsh environments it can withstand without the added cost of protective enclosures.

Complex ODBC (open database connectivity) applications can be performed by the printer utilizing cab's powerful native language, J-script. cab printers can interface directly with host, WMS (warehouse management system) or ERP (enterprise resource planning) system without middleware.

Lock out all of your competition by creating solutions no printer can duplicate. Create applications that are repeatable across multiple vertical markets utilizing the power of cab printers.
