Questions about this item

Which hopper configuration should I choose for the Evolis Quantum 2 QTM306GRH-BS?

The printer ships without a locking system and with short hopper doors. With hoppers fitted the unit measures 22.32" wide, 11.81" deep and 33.46" high and weighs 47.8 lbs; without hoppers it is 8.46" wide and 40.3 lbs. Choose the hopper version that fits your available bench space and card-volume needs.

What does the 150 cards-per-hour color rating mean in daily use?

That figure applies to single-sided YMCKO printing. In a real workflow you can expect roughly 150 full-color cards each hour; dual-sided color drops to 115 cards per hour, while monochrome single-sided runs at 1000 cards per hour and dual-sided monochrome at 320 cards per hour.

What interfaces does the QTM306GRH-BS provide and what speeds do they support?

The printer includes USB 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 (cable supplied) plus Ethernet TCP-IP at 10BaseT and 100BaseT with traffic LEDs. USB 3.0 gives the highest host throughput, while the Ethernet link caps at 100 Mbps for network printing.
