Description

About the Bryce / Secap 13K

The Secap 13K — also known as the Bryce 13K — was the world’s leading address printer of its time. It prints up to 13,000 #10 envelopes per hour in draft quality and 12,000 per hour in 600-dpi executive quality, laying down the return address, delivery address and a marketing message all in one pass for a customized mailpiece that gets opened and looked at.

It offers print resolutions of 150, 200, 300 or 600 dpi horizontal (600 vertical), with draft, letter and executive print modes. It supports all Windows TrueType fonts plus 12 internal fonts, prints USPS, Planet Code, EAN-13/UPC-A and any TrueType barcode, and handles media 3″ to 12.25″ wide, 5″ to 15″ long, up to 1/4″ thick (a 9.4″ x 15″ image area). It connects via Centronics parallel, serial RS-232C or USB (with conversion cable), uses HP 51645A / C8842A 45A-style cartridges, measures 13″W x 19″D x 17″H, weighs 50 lbs, and is UL/CSA certified.

Parts Support from All For Mailers

The 13K is no longer in current production, but All For Mailers still supports it with ink, feed rollers, separators and parts. For a current address printer we can point you to today’s Rena models.

Straight talk: buy a Bryce / Secap 13K for parts only. This was a tank — an excellent machine that earned its reputation, and the mechanics on a good one could keep working for decades. But the electronics are the limit: the boards are no longer available at any price. Once one fails, the machine is done, however good the rest of it is. We don’t recommend buying one to put into production.

Protect what you have. These machines were built to last, and the mechanics will outlive the electronics every time. If you’re running one, put it on a quality surge protector, and add static protection — especially in dry winter air or on high-speed paper handling. Power spikes and static are what kill boards, and on these machines a board may not be replaceable at any price. It’s the cheapest insurance there is for equipment you can’t simply reorder.

Already own one and it’s running? Run it, and call us at 866-430-2874 — we’ll help you get every last mile out of it and tell you honestly when it’s time. SuppliesForMailers.com still stocks consumables.

Need a machine you can count on? The RENA AS-150, AS-450, AS-650 and AS-850, or the Formax AP2 (2in), AP3 (3in) and AP4 (4in in-line) — all current, all supported, all backed by our parts, service and lifetime phone support.

Also known as: this machine was also sold as the the W707, Pitney Bowes DA700 and DA70S, Secap SA3300, and the SA25 / WS71 series — same machine, different badge. Looking for one under a different name? Contact us: the same unit is often available wearing another brand’s model number, and parts, supplies, and service experience carry straight over.
