Half-Page Military Cockpit Printer

The RTP40 ARINC cockpit printer is a half-page, monochrome, hardcopy output device designed for use in military aircraft applications. It incorporates the most advanced ruggedization and thermal printing technology available. This equipment is constructed using environmental management techniques that protect internal components from the effects of shock, vibration, and electromagnetic interference.

The RTP40M can support graphics printing with the built-in Ethernet print server option. The paper loading process for the RTP family of cockpit printers is the simplest and easiest of any printer on the market. Paper is held securely in the middle of the door and exits the printer at the top of the door opening. Paper loading can be accomplished in very dim ambient light. RITEC cockpit printers incorporate anti-jamming technology that virtually eliminates paper delivery problems. The printhead and paper-path mechanism do not require any calibration or adjustment. External power and data interfaces are provided through a single connector. Separate connectors are available as an ordering option.
