FAQ
What slide types are compatible with the RD-T10?
The RD-T10 is compatible with standard microscope slides with frosted ends, commonly used in pathology, histology, cytology, and microbiology laboratories. The thermal transfer printing process produces clear, permanent text and barcodes on the frosted area without affecting the clear viewing area of the slide.
What is the difference between RD-T2 and RD-T10?
The RD-T10 is the higher-capacity model with expanded loading hopper and collection bin compared to the RD-T2. Both use the same thermal transfer ribbon technology for permanent, chemical-resistant slide marking. The RD-T10 is designed for high-throughput histology laboratories requiring continuous, unattended batch printing.
How often does the thermal transfer ribbon need to be replaced?
Ribbon replacement frequency depends on print volume and the amount of information printed per slide. Under typical laboratory usage with standard patient identifiers and barcodes, a single ribbon roll supports thousands of slides. The RD-T10 provides a ribbon-low indicator to alert operators before the ribbon runs out.
Can the RD-T10 handle different barcode formats?
Yes. The RD-T10 supports multiple barcode symbologies including Code 128, Code 39, QR codes, and Data Matrix. Combined with LIS/HIS integration, the printer can automatically produce the correct barcode format based on your laboratory's information management system requirements.
