For more than five years, AMT Datasouth has sold portable printer solutions. Its latest M series portable printers feature the most current technology in a compact package at an attractive price. 

Coupled with PAL, the M3 and M4 are particularly well suited for printing applications where the printer needs to interface with legacy systems or where changing systems to support new applications is not practical. 

So, what are the benefits of AMT Datasouth’s proprietary PAL printing and programming language to users? They are numerous. Users can easily interpret, translate, filter, add-to and format almost any data stream sent from any host running any application. Vertical markets served by PAL include: healthcare, pharmaceutical, warehousing, safety and service among others.

The Fastmark M3 printer is rugged, durable and lightweight. It weighs only 19 ounces with the battery, is easy to carry and has an optional belt clip or shoulder strap. An easy-to-load design handles paper rolls up to three inches wide and prints up to four tips. 

The Fastmark M4 can handle media up to 4.4 inches wide, and offers both Bluetooth and WiFi interfaces simultaneously. It’s also available with an optional LCD. Both models offer vehicle chargers, RTC and are Windows and ZPL compatible.

PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS INCLUDE:

You already know that AMT Datasouth’s printers featuring the PAL proprietary programming language interpret virtually any data stream in any hospital, but now with the PALSECURE ON DEMAND solution healthcare employees can print secure data on labels and wristbands anywhere in the hospital, even without a network connection.

With a PALSECURE ON DEMAND printer a master 2D barcode label can be made upon patient check-in. The PALSECURE ON DEMAND solution automatically encrypts the patient data when it gets bar-coded to ensure the data remains safe and human unreadable, even by a barcode scanner. But when the scanned image is fed to another PALSECURE ON DEMAND printer anywhere in the hospital – no network connection necessary—a decrypted, approved proper label is produced.

The PALSECURE ON DEMAND solution eliminates the vulnerability of exposing patient private information that now exists with on demand label solutions. No longer will a master 2D barcode or other patient wristbands and labels reveal private patient information when looked at with a scanner, smartphone or tablet. With data breaches making so many headlines these days, coupled with the many patient privacy concerns, the PALSECURE ON DEMAND solution is sure to be a welcome addition to the hospital’s privacy protection program.

In addition to security, PALSECURE ON DEMAND labels save money, time, and makes things easier for busy hospital staff. Using traditional methods, healthcare professionals have to use costly sheets of labels – hopefully shredding what they waste – when they only need one or two labels at a time. With the better standard thermal printer approach, a static workstation is needed to produce the copies, taking hospital staff regularly away from the patient’s side, while leaving the label security issue unresolved.

Now imagine how much simpler and easier the PALSECURE ON DEMAND solution is; they just print what is needed (on demand) wherever they are in the hospital right at a patient’s side, nurse’s station, or wireless cart – with just a printer, scanner and a data Secure master. This provides economics and security to an otherwise chaotic and risky process.
The PALSECURE ON DEMAND solution is available for all AMT Datasouth Fastmark Thermal Printers: from the small M1 wristband printer and our mobile M3, M4, and PT-1 printers to the versatile M5 desktop and even our high-powered M6 Plus, M7, and M8 printers – providing so many solutions for your customers.

The PALSECURE ON DEMAND solution– secure, cost effective, and makes the healthcare professional’s job easier and allows them to focus more on job one – the patient.

EQ2, LLC and AMT Datasouth Corp Announce They Have Integrated Their Teams to Optimally Serve the Hospital Market

Resulting synergies are numerous for teams that provide customized solutions for CMMS, printing and downtime solutions

PDF: AMT and EQ2 Integrate Teams

Burlington, VT – EQ2 – a leader in hospital computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) and AMT Datasouth (AMT) – a leader in printing and downtime solutions for hospitals and other markets, have completed the integration of their formerly standalone management, service, sales and marketing teams. The resulting synergies allow both brands to have focused efforts in supplying hospitals with unique, customized solutions.

EQ2 was acquired by AMT in September 2013 and at first maintained separate service, sales and marketing teams. After identifying numerous synergies for reaching healthcare organizations that both businesses have long track records of serving, the two groups are now a fully combined team. Kim Stovall, Director of Sales and Marketing for EQ2 and AMT, said “Both companies have always provided customized solutions to our hospital clients. So, the synergies we’re experiencing are natural and a good fit for us and our clients.”

EQ2’s customers include Biomedical/Clinical Engineering and Facilities/Plant Engineering departments for asset tracking and management. EQ2’s CMMS has several modules that integrate to meet each customer’s specific needs for managing everything from work orders, to maintenance schedules on medical devices and facilities equipment, to compliance inspection preparation. The “HEMS®” CMMS was first developed in 1983 as a collaborative effort of the University of Vermont, ASHE (American Society for Healthcare Engineering), and the Kellogg Foundation. Then in 1993, EQ2 was formed as a private company to manage the continued growth of HEMS.

AMT’s roots also go back to 1983 and has provided printing solutions for hospitals, pharmacies, airlines, lotteries, auto dealerships, and backroom-warehouse-workshop applications. In healthcare AMT customizes patient wristband and label solutions for each hospital and also offers AMT Process 24/7® software for downtime patient admittance and administration.

Vishal Malhotra, EQ2’s Chief Technology Officer, has spent many years developing HEMS and said, “It’s been exciting working with the integrated team. We have already released new product offerings and enhancements, new pricing models, and a redesigned website at EQ2.com for a better user experience.”

AMT Process 24/7® already available as an off-the-shelf Windows-based (desktop or laptop) software solution for downtime patient admittance administration as well as for labeling at bedside, the lab, and pharmacy  is now available as a mobile application.

Simply use your tablet and a regular or portable printer to print your patient labels and wristbands. The application connects wirelessly to a printer utilizing either Bluetooth or via WiFi to a network-connected printer. No need for a separate scanner, allowing for a completely cord-free experience.

Downtime in a Hospital

When a hospital’s HIS goes down either unexpectedly or more commonly for scheduled maintenance that could last a few hours or perhaps an entire weekend, patient intake, bedside and lab labeling, and pharmaceutical labeling can’t wait for the system to return to uptime. Rather than performing these tasks manually, a software solution is ideal. And a solution that allows for mobility with wireless capability so that labels can be created easily at bedside and elsewhere in the hospital and not just at the patient intake station has several advantages.

 
The Solution to Downtime: AMT Process 24/7 for Mobile

AMT Process 24/7 for Mobile addresses these needs with a Windows-based HIPAA compliant solution that allows labels to be created on demand while also allowing for patient data capture on intake and for the data to be easily output to the HIS when it comes back online. 

Our application for tablets has all of the benefits of the desktop version, plus it connects wirelessly to a printer utilizing either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and has a built-in scanner. By eliminating the need for cords and scanners, it makes the healthcare professional extremely mobile.

Like the desktop version, AMT Process 24/7 for Mobile encrypts patient data, allows the hospital to design and modify patient labels and wristbands with as many fields and barcodes as needed, has one button reprints, and is easy to use.

Labels can be printed or reprinted easily via either a Bluetooth or a Wi-Fi connection to any of our many wireless capable thermal printers. To allow healthcare professionals all of the advantages of mobility, bundle AMT Process 24/7 with small portable printers like the Fastmark M3 or Fastmark M4.

The application also has the capability to use the tablet’s photo taking application to add a picture to the record if desired. And just like the Windows version, the following features come standard:

• Virtual Form Designer: quickly create the desired print formats for patient wristbands and labels
• Customizable Data Entry Fields: build forms that capture exactly the data needed in the proper format
• Security Filters
• Barcode (linear & 2D)
• Graphic Logo
• Automatic Data Encryption: HIPPA compliant and patient data is encrypted and only accessible under administrator password control
• Multiple Form Support
• Select from multiple printers at the touch of a button
• Re-print Feature: print records saved from earlier at the touch of a button
• Import/Export to and from the hospital’s HIS via Excel file format

US Auto Sales: an example showing that if you’ve been using either a 9-pin or 24-pin printer and are looking for a versatile alternative with high quality printing and paper handling, the new Documax 5380 referenced below or the high-end ACCEL 7450 already used in many other dealerships, can be customized to specifically what you’re looking for.

US Auto Sales, Inc. was founded in 1992 and today has 17 locations in Georgia and South Carolina. With over 12,000 customers and 1200 vehicles*, and extending credit while handling all of the financing themselves, there is a lot of paperwork to be completed when a sale is finalized.

Each of the locations uses title reassignment forms when certified pre-owned vehicles are purchased. In the past, team members would have the customer sign a blank form and then the Title Department would handwrite the rest of the title reassignment form.

The Need: An Upgrade for Multi-part Forms Printing

The team at US Auto Sales was looking for a better solution that would allow for a multi-part form to be printed out with specific customer and car information included that the customer would then sign from there, resulting in the requisite copies that need to go to all the appropriate parties: customer, US Auto, the state, etc. This would give a more professional look to the title reassignment form and also would save the Title Department and sales team valuable time when completing the deal.

Customized Firmware

Jeff Hintz who is the IT/Facilities Coordinator for US Auto Sales, began to look at options and found AMT Datasouth printers which are known for emulations that allow them to read data streams from numerous different types of existing applications – making transitioning printers easy and straightforward. In this case, the firmware would read data from an existing 9 pin Oki application.

The technical team at AMT Datasouth analyzed a data capture provided by US Auto Sales and then customized the firmware on the 24 pin Documax 5380 to meet the specific data print requirements for US Auto Sales. This resulted in the six part title reassignment forms being printed exactly as they needed – a standardized, professional looking (and now high resolution) form every time.

High Quality Printing and Paper Handling

The 5380 is an ideal printer for consistent cut sheet and tractor-fed forms handling, this impact printer handles the six part title reassignment form easily. The 24-pin printhead produces high quality prints but requires only minimal desktop space. The zero tear-off design of the 5380 means that forms are not wasted and the ease of use for both the control panel and ribbon replacement, allows team members to stay focused on job one – the customer.

And since the 5380 is relatively inexpensive, it meant the new printing solution could be deployed at all 17 locations – allowing for standardization and quality throughout the organization.

One on One Support

When it was time for implementation, AMT Datasouth’s US-based technical team worked with Jeff to test the new printers and the emulation to make sure the title reassignment forms came out exactly as desired. This included the initial setup as well as testing. This personal approach allowed Jeff to be assured that installation was successful at all locations.

Happier End-Users and Customers

So now that the new solution is up and running, what do the end-users think? “A big benefit that I hear from the sales managers, is that being able to easily print the title reassignment forms gives a nice professional touch to the customer experience. Whereas before, they would have the customer sign a blank form, then the Title Department would have to fill the rest out.” – Jeff Hintz.

From printers to software to our partnerships with other leading organizations that support healthcare all over the U.S., AMT Datasouth offers solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing hospital systems. Read more about some of our solutions here (PDF) and below:

Mobile Printer Bedside Lab Labeling Solution

While at a patient’s bedside, Healthcare Professionals can now print labels for patients using the mobile Fastmark M4 by connecting wirelessly to the print file of a physician’s order for blood draws. Using our proprietary PAL programming, the M4 can scan the print file for the same Medical Record Number and Patient name that was scanned from the wristband and the healthcare professional can then verify this information on the M4 screen and print out the correct amount of labels with all the pertinent Lab label information, including the accession number. The need for a handheld computer is eliminated…….READ MORE (PDF)

On Demand Labels: Right at a Patient’s Side, Nurse’s Station or Wireless Cart

Until now, healthcare professionals only had two options for printing patient labels – use costly sheets of labels and replace toner often – or use thermal printers. Both of these solutions require a static workstation, taking them away from the patient’s side costing time and efficiency.

Now there is a third option – using any 2D scanner plugged directly into the low profile Fastmark M5, a healthcare professional can scan the 2D barcode on the patient’s wristband or chart label – out will immediately print the exact same information as what you just scanned…….READ MORE (PDF)

PALSECURE ON DEMAND™

Mobile Disaster Victim Identifier and Triage Solution

In a disaster situation, the quick identification and triaging of victims is critical. Using the Mobile Disaster Victim Identifier and Triage Solution featuring the Fastmark M3, first responders like police and fire can scan the 2D barcode on the back of the victim’s driver’s license, which pulls personally identifiable data like name, DOB, gender, and driver’s license number. They would also then scan the appropriate 2D barcode associated with a certain triage level (typically 1 through 4) from a color-coded triage guide. From scanning both the driver license and the triage level, a label will print out immediately that can be attached to a wristband which will be put on the victim…….READ MORE (PDF)

EQ2 LLC Moves Headquarters from Vermont to North Carolina

New Location Gives CMMS Company a Presence in the Healthcare Market in the South While Creating Synergies with Parent Company AMT Datasouth

PDF: EQ2 Move to Charlotte Press Release 

Charlotte, NC – EQ2, LLC – a leader in hospital computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS), announced today it is moving its headquarters from Burlington, VT to Charlotte, NC effective July 5, 2016. The move co-locates EQ2 with parent company AMT Datasouth’s operations center leading to several good outcomes for both companies.

Joe Eichberger, EQ2’s CEO, said, “By moving to Charlotte, EQ2 and AMT Datasouth will be able to share certain facilities and overhead operations that will benefit both companies. Additionally, Charlotte will provide EQ2 a broader base from which the company will more easily be able to find people to help it continue to grow”.

The company is also anticipating opportunities for growth by gaining a presence in the South, where it can partner with numerous hospital systems there that can benefit from the HEMS CMMS which was designed for and has always been focused on hospitals, particularly their biomed and facilities operations. Shortly after the move, EQ2 will be connecting with local biomedical professionals in their new home state at the 38^th Annual North Carolina Biomedical Association (NCBA) Symposium in Pinehurst, NC. The Symposium features educational sessions, networking, and an exposition over the three days of August 24 – 26, 2016. EQ2 has many CMMS modules and dashboards designed specifically for the biomed department and will be showcasing them during the expo at booth #25 on Thursday, August 25.

The HEMS CMMS is designed for both the everyday user (for example a “Technician” who performs maintenance activities and addresses compliance needs) and leadership (such as members of the C-suite who need advanced reporting and dashboards) to be able to make running their hospital operations significantly more efficient and cost-effective.

HEMS was created at the University of Vermont in 1983 as a collaborative effort of the University of Vermont, ASHE (American Society of Healthcare Engineering), and the Kellogg Foundation. Then in 1993, EQ2 was created in Burlington, VT to manage the continued growth of HEMS and all of its associated products. In 2013, EQ2 was acquired by AMT Datasouth – which serves several market sectors including healthcare, where it provides customized patient wristband and label solutions for hospitals as well as software for downtime patient admittance and administration. See www.eq2llc.com for more info.

PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS INCLUDE:

When you need a durable printer that produces sharp images at a low cost for challenging environments such as logistics, warehousing, packaging, and asset management among others, the Fastmark Inkjet Pro fits the bill like no other. This type of industrial ink jet solution has a unique design, incorporating a combination of features which allow you to save time, hassle, and money.

This is a “plug and play” printer with a print driver that reads data streams from popular label generating software, shipping software, and Windows applications. It can help you automate a process and/or work within a current infrastructure to improve it.

Easy to Use Precision Printing

It is a quiet and fast printer delivering high resolution printing (up to 1200 x 1200 dpi) with a good contrast. Operation is easy with a control panel featuring touch sensitive buttons. The ink cartridges are a snap to replace.

The Tractor Feed: Continuous Printing on an Inkjet?

It features a flatbed tractor feed – unheard of in inkjets – which means fast media handling that avoids jams and has a strong throughput. A helpful tear bar allows you to print and tear continuous media as you need to and keep right on printing, avoiding waste. You can choose between front and rear feeding for a smooth paper feed and only have to load the media once per box or roll, saving time and effort. And, you won’t see the typical laser latency delays when printing starts: it’s ready to go when you are – every time.

So in addition to high quality barcode and label printing, large sheets and bills are printed easily and labels can be configured to the application such as pre-printed in part for logos, etc. and in the size needed.

Saving Money, Especially on Durable Media

Compared to monochrome laser, cost savings on supplies can be significant. No need to waste an entire sheet of labels when you only need a few at a time. Ink on just the number that you need, what can be easier!

The acquisition cost is low and ink costs vs. thermal or laser printing are very favorable. And the ink cartridge is substantial. At 100 ml it holds enough ink to print up to 6,000 pages in economical mode – allowing you to save money plus the hassle of replacing cartridges often. The pigment based ink used is water, sun, and alcohol fast, so no fading and storage concerns. Labels can be procured to meet your needs – paper for low cost, poly if tough long lasting requirements are needed, narrow (down to 3 inches), or wide up to 8 inches or two, three or 4-up to match your needs.

AMT Datasouth Introduces Two New Specialty Printers Designed Specifically for Industrial Applications at WestPack 2017

The Versatile and Cost-Effective Fastmark Z5 Makes Its Debut Along With the Resilient Ink, No Waste, Low Cost of Ownership Fastmark Inkjet Pro

Camarillo, CA – Long time specialty printer manufacturer AMT Datasouth introduces two new models to meet specific industrial needs at the WestPack 2017 event February 7 – 9, 2017 in Anaheim, CA. These are the Fastmark Z5 – a compact low cost thermal printer versatile enough to handle numerous applications and the Fastmark Inkjet Pro – an inkjet printer designed specifically for industrial environments with a continuous feed, 6,000 page ink cartridge, and ink that is water, sun, and alcohol resistant. Both fall under the Fastmark® brand name with its strong reputation for personalized customer service both during setup and for the life of the product – unique in a market known for big name printers with limited service and no custom solution options. Fastmark printers are often used in barcode and other labeling applications.

Also on display at the AMT Datasouth booth (#5598) will be other Fastmark thermal printers that are ideal for industrial applications, especially those that require barcoding and labeling: the high volume and fast M7XPd and the M8X with high resolution precision and the small M3 and M4 mobile printers for labeling on the go. And for forms (especially multi-part) that can’t be done “electronically”, or where a signature or two are needed, or for really tough environments, there are the low-cost Documax 5380 and the high-powered Accel 7450. To date sales of Documax and Accel printers have exceeded half a million.

Solutions Addressed by the Inkjet Pro and Z5

AMT Datasouth has designed the two new printers with applications in inventory, shipping, logistics, warehousing, process control, product identification, food, retail, asset management, government, and industrial/manufacturing in mind. These printers can help automate a process and/or work within a current infrastructure to improve it.

Fastmark Inkjet Pro

The Inkjet Pro features a flatbed tractor feed – unheard of in inkjets – which means fast media handling that avoids jams. It also has a tear bar so that continuous media can be printed and torn as the user needs, avoiding waste and leading to a strong throughput.

The Inkjet Pro uses a pigment based ink that is water, sun, and alcohol fast, so no fading and storage concerns. It prints on plain paper, or if needed, on tough poly paper. It performs high resolution printing (up to 1200 x 1200 dpi) that produces graphics and barcodes with a good contrast. The 100 ml cartridge holds enough ink to print up to 6,000 pages in economical mode – allowing significant cost savings plus reducing the hassle of replacing cartridges often.

Fastmark Z5

The Fastmark Z5 accepts ZPL (Zebra) data streams and is available in 203 or 300 dpi models. It has several standout features that are standard in a marketplace that typically charges more for them, making it a real value for budget conscious users. These include an LCD display, Ethernet connection, 64 MB of memory, and an adjustable media sensor.

About AMT Datasouth

For over thirty years, AMT Datasouth has been providing heavy-duty and reliable impact, inkjet and thermal printers.

The AMT Datasouth team provides individualized customer service both for new installs and for ongoing support. If needed, our technical team can analyze a data stream from an existing application and prepare printer resident firmware to permit printing and formatting as needed, perhaps creating barcodes where none existed in the data stream. This personalized approach assures that users are satisfied with the results.

Printers come with poplar emulations such as Zebra, Eltron, Datamax, Oki, etc. and our Smart Printers utilize our proprietary PAL® programming language. AMT Datasouth Smart Printers with a PAL app can print almost any data stream that an organization uses.

Trends In Barcoded Patient Identification and Their Impact On Patient Safety

Thursday, April 20

1:00 pm Eastern

AMT Datasouth and Identification Systems Group

Hosted by: NAHAM – the National Association of Healthcare Access Management

In spite of broad implementation of barcoded patient ID, there are many additional steps that hospitals need to take in order to improve patient safety through positive patient identification. These steps enable hospitals to improve the barcode scan rates to 99%, prevent clinician work arounds, and reduce the hospital’s legal budget. Also discussed will be other time and money savings considerations.

Learning Objectives:

• How to eliminate scan errors
• The differences between laser and thermal printing of wristbands and labels
• 2D barcodes vs. linear barcodes
• All of the parts that make up an effective patient ID system and how they can work together effectively as part of an integrated system

When you need a durable printer that produces sharp images at a low cost for challenging environments such as logistics, warehousing, packaging, and asset management among others, the Fastmark Inkjet Pro fits the bill like no other. This type of industrial ink jet solution has a unique design, incorporating a combination of features which allow you to save time, hassle, and money.

This is a “plug and play” printer with a print driver that reads data streams from popular label generating software, shipping software, and Windows applications. It can help you automate a process and/or work within a current infrastructure to improve it.

Easy to Use Precision Printing

It is a quiet and fast printer delivering high resolution printing (up to 1200 x 1200 dpi) with a good contrast. Operation is easy with a control panel featuring touch sensitive buttons. The ink cartridges are a snap to replace.

The Tractor Feed: Continuous Printing on an Inkjet?

It features a flatbed tractor feed – unheard of in inkjets – which means fast media handling that avoids jams and has a strong throughput. A helpful tear bar allows you to print and tear continuous media as you need to and keep right on printing, avoiding waste. You can choose between front and rear feeding for a smooth paper feed and only have to load the media once per box or roll, saving time and effort. And, you won’t see the typical laser latency delays when printing starts: it’s ready to go when you are – every time.

So in addition to high quality barcode and label printing, large sheets and bills are printed easily and labels can be configured to the application such as pre-printed in part for logos, etc. and in the size needed.

Saving Money, Especially on Durable Media

Compared to monochrome laser, cost savings on supplies can be significant. No need to waste an entire sheet of labels when you only need a few at a time. Ink on just the number that you need, what can be easier!

The acquisition cost is low and ink costs vs. thermal or laser printing are very favorable. And the ink cartridge is substantial. At 100 ml it holds enough ink to print up to 6,000 pages in economical mode – allowing you to save money plus the hassle of replacing cartridges often. The pigment based ink used is water, sun, and alcohol fast, so no fading and storage concerns. Labels can be procured to meet your needs – paper for low cost, poly if tough long lasting requirements are needed, narrow (down to 3 inches), or wide up to 8 inches or two, three or 4-up to match your needs.

The Z5 Series printer is perfect for your label, tickets or continuous paper printing needs. It is full featured yet has a

low price point. The two-year warranty demonstrates its reliability.
