Based on the 5r Multi-Technology Platform, the ThermaLine™ T5000r™ ENERGY STAR® family is an industrial thermal bar code printer designed to operate in challenging environments. Through leadership by design, the T5000r combines reliability, utility, power and flexibility for demanding environments and provides the open migration to RFID for future requirements. The T5000r supports the widest range of connectivity and control without sacrificing performance and provides the ability to meet new application and compliance requirements.

The T5000r integrates real world experience that readily adapts to emerging standards. The T5000r firmware can be upgraded to keep pace with new thermal bar code printing innovations and applications.

The T5000r delivers dependable and reliable bar code printing for compliance labeling and accommodates higher density bar codes, increased graphics or smaller text with snap-in print heads. When used in conjunction with ODV™ technology (Online Data Validation), the T5000r provides verification of scannable bar codes at the point of label creation. All T5000r printers are designed as RFID Ready and can easily be upgraded with Printronix patented MP2™ encoding technology to read and encode UHF RFID Smart Labels. Combining bar code compliance and RFID technology the T5000r links bar code and EPC data together for storage, retrieval, electronic audits and data synchronization.
