I-Class Mark II printers are offered with a wide variety of options and accessories to meet the needs of many industrial applications.  A complete list of options and accessories are available on the partner center.  The most commonly used options are listed below:

	Thermal Transfer A printing method that uses ribbon to produce exceptional image clarity, as compared to most direct thermal media types. The 4-section split-hub design allows for lower torque on narrow ribbons. This option can be used with either coated-side-in or coated-side-out ribbons.
	Present Sensor An output control device that allows subsequent printing to occur only after the removal of a previously printed label.
	External Rewinder The external rewinder (up to 4.5" wide and 8" OD roll) is used for rewinding labels onto a roll as they are printed. This allows for batch printing large continuous rolls of labels or tags and distributed for use.
	Peel & Present An internally "overdriven" design for heavy duty requirements using aggressive adhesive or polyester type media. Minimum label length is 1.5 inches (38 mm).
	Cutter Plug-and -play: attach the cutter and it is auto detected during power up. The rotary style mechanism is capable of cutting media from 0.0025” to 0.0100” (0.0635mm - 0.254mm) thick, and has a minimum lifespan of 500,000 cuts.
	Internal Rewind A heavy-duty label rewind option to tightly rewind a partial 5.5" roll of labels and backing onto a 3" diameter core.
	Internal LAN (Ethernet) Port allows for network connectivity, sharing and management. LAN connectivity provides more efficient use of the printer.
	GPIO Option (applicator card) The GPIO signals provide the Applicator (external device) the ability to control the printer using TTL logic.
	Wireless LAN Option has the same benefits as the LAN port with the additional benefit of not requiring a wired connection which allows for mobility and eliminates investing in network wiring expansion. Two USB Host Ports allows for connecting and hosting input devices like scanners, keyboards, and memory sticks. This allows the printer to be used in a standalone application eliminating the need for a computer. SDIO Memory Option provides a removable memory option for the printer. This memory may hold labels, fonts, fir ware and graphics. The user can use this memory to transfer these types of files to the printer’s internal memory or leave the memory inserted for real time access to the SDIO memory files.

In addition to the above field installable options, I-Class Mark II is offers the above mentioned LAN, W-LAN, 2 USB Host Ports & SDIO as options that can be installed in the field by certified technicians.
