Data pick-up via USB stick
Up to 1,022 punches can be assigned with the value of the numbering counter/ time / date and will be recorded in the memory. The data can be loaded into the USB memory stick and transfer to a PC for further analysis.

Lighted print area and back-lit graphic display
The print area is not only marked by a red printing mask on the platen but now also illuminated by white LED lighting.
