The Newcastle mobile carts are designed to hold and power a computer, monitor, barcode scanner, label printer and office printer to print packing slips, bills of lading and other crucial paperwork allowing workers to immediately improve productivity wherever they do their jobs. According to Newcastle, one challenge for the mobile carts has always been the need to power laser printers that require heavy lead-based batteries built into the cart. With the Epson WorkForce® Pro WF-M5299 monochrome inkjet printer, Newcastle has discovered a solution that has dramatically reduced the cart’s power consumption, making battery-powered mobile workstations truly practical for 24/7 operations.
“With an Epson WF-M5299, a fully equipped cart can be powered with just one 11-pound lithium iron phosphate battery. The lithium batteries are fast charging and can be hot-swapped,” said Christine Wheeler, marketing director, Newcastle Systems. “Clients keep one battery in the charger and one in the cart for ultimate efficiency.”
