The ML600 Series is designed to handle printing needs ranging from continuous multi-part forms output to fine business correspondence to point of sale. The new SIDM series is ideal in the most demanding environments in key industries such as healthcare, education, government, retail, hospitality, finance and insurance, and manufacturing and warehousing.
