TransAct Introduces RESPONDER MP2™ All-in-One Mobile Printing Solution to Address Large M2M Technology Opportunity

TransAct Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq: TACT), a global leader in market-specific solutions, including printers, terminals, software and other products for transaction-based and other industries, announced today its RESPONDER MP2™ mobile printing solution. Developed for installation in a wide variety of fleet vehicles – including fire trucks, police cars, emergency medical vehicles, insurance fleets and delivery vehicles, among others – the RESPONDER MP2 capitalizes upon machine-to-machine (M2M) technology while delivering full-page printing from a fully integrated printer and paper source. With the continued rise in use of cloud-based systems and applications, the RESPONDER MP2 is a critical component for users looking for a state-of-the-art device that will produce reliable, quality output while on the road.

“The introduction of the RESPONDER MP2 reflects TransAct’s ability to leverage our expertise and understanding of printing and software technologies to identify opportunities in largely untapped markets where we can develop value- added solutions that allow customers to operate more efficiently,” said Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TransAct Technologies. “Various industry estimates place the value of the M2M market (inclusive of hardware components, technologies and related applications) at nearly $86 billion by 2017, and that 18 billion M2M connections will take place globally by 2022. As the need for mobile printer applications continues to grow with more vehicle fleet operators embracing mobile computing platforms like tablets and laptops and installing these devices across their fleets, the RESPONDER MP2 offers mobile printing functionality that is not currently available. While vehicle fleets across many industries, including medical and emergency, have long struggled with reliable on-demand mobile printing, the flexibility of our new RESPONDER MP2 uniquely addresses this challenge with an easy to implement solution. In creating an all-in-one printing solution that can be easily mounted anywhere in a vehicle, we believe we are bringing the industry’s most flexible, easiest to use mobile printer to market, opening up another unique new opportunity for TransAct.”

The RESPONDER MP2 leverages M2M technology to print information sent from a Web-connected device (such as a laptop or tablet) via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Users may also send information via a direct connection to the printer. Featuring a compact, low-profile, all-in-one configuration that integrates both the thermal paper roll and printing unit, the RESPONDER MP2 is designed for use in virtually all fleet vehicle implementations. This integration dramatically simplifies use of the printer in the field, removing the hassle of paper feeding and allowing users to continuously print once a paper roll is loaded.

Further, the TransAct RESPONDER MP2 offers fleet operators with a nearly unlimited array of mounting options – including vertical, horizontal, and upside-down roof installations – and can even be used without a fixed installation, allowing for placement on a vehicle seat or floor. The RESPONDER MP2 prints on thermal paper rolls with widths of up to 8.5 inches and the thermal printer design removes the need for messy and inconvenient ink cartridges.
