Call Aid UK Specifies the Star Micronics TSP654

Nottingham based electronics design and manufacturing company Call Aid UK have specified the Star Micronics TSP654 from DED Limited for use in all their waiting room patient call systems in Health Centres and Doctors Surgeries across the UK. Committed to delivering innovative solutions with easy to use systems, Call Aid UK is the preferred supplier for a number of Primary Care Trusts across the UK and are renowned for providing systems that use the latest available technology.

The TSP654 is an integral part of the waiting room patient call system on offer from Call Aid UK, being used to print tickets for patients as they register their arrival at the doctor’s surgery reception. Ensuring that an orderly system is maintained, each ticket contains a unique patient number and information on where to go when that number is called.

Thanks to its compact footprint, the TSP654 can be positioned right on the reception desk so that patients can take their tickets easily. Ron Gretton, Managing Director of Call Aid UK commented, “we chose the TSP654 for a number of reasons, primarily because of the small footprint, which is ideal for counter top use in reception areas. Of course we were also impressed with the drop in paper loading, auto cutter, excellent value for money and the interchangeable interfaces on the TSP654, which have proved extremely useful, as not all applications use the same system/network standards.”

The TSP650 series addresses the market's need for the lowest cost receipt printer with high end superior functions. It offers fast, silent, quality thermal performance at a matrix price with impressive processing speed resulting in a true print speed of 150mm per second. As well as the standard auto cutter version, a unique tear bar version has been included in the range offering an even lower cost option. The TSP650 series offers a host of other features including two colour printing, logo store, interchangeable interfaces, wall and desk mount brackets and drivers for most operating systems.
