ALGE's new P5 printer has arrived. This is a slick little printer for use with the COMET, S4, etc. It does not work with the S3 due to the protocol issues. Imagine the printer half of the new TIMY with a signal cord to attach to the timer.

The P5 uses the new paper and has a feed button to advance the paper. The P5 has the same external power input as the TIMY when used with the COMET or timer that does not output enough power.

Prices for the P5 will be:

Printer P5 $525.00 NLG 13A power supply (use for COMET) $100.00 PST COMET/P5/pc/display adapter to use with COMET for sanctioned races $75.00
Roll of paper $3.00

Testing will be complete by the end of this week and they will offered for sale.

Printer options for the S4 timer remain:

Seiko Dpu 414 (thermal) system with battery, charger, cabling that allows the S4 to use alkaline batteries

$500.00

ALGE P5, (thermal) direct plug in but you must have the S4 plugged into to an external power supply.

$525.00

ALGE P4, (electrostatic, silver) direct plug in but you must have the S4 plugged in to an external power supply and use NICAD batteries.

$885.00

The P5 printer is in stock as a regular item. Testing was very successful and very good responses have been received from our initial customers.
