The easiest option and the fastest way to set them is will be the USB 3.0 port.

Better Printers like, Need Better Inks

New smarter inks have been developed for the Rena AS-450, AS-650, and AS-850. For instance, the printers know which ink you have installed in the pen slot. It then automatically makes a few adjustments to the pen to optimize it for that ink. Therefore, you can mix and match if needed! So if you need UV Ink (EASYInk UltraUV ASINKHPUUV) in one slot and Invisible Ink – (EASYInk Invisible ASINKHPINV) in another, it’s not a problem. Insert them and the printer will optimize the settings for you! Click here to see the full line of new inks designed for the Rena AS-450, AS-650, and AS-850. Please note! The new printers only work with the new inks and will not work with the older inks. And the older printers will not work with the new inks.

Below are some samples of what you can do with a Rena AS-850. The AS-650 would have 1 less print height and the AS-450 would have 4 inches of print height.

Mechanical Improvements

One of my favorite improvements was how the head height thickness was handled. In some older models, the head height was largely electrical and over time the rheostats would fail. Causing the heads to bounce around or not adjust at all. All the electronics of the height adjustment are gone! Replaced with a reliable mechanical adjustment system. In conclusion, it’s nice when a mailing equipment company listens to end-users and technicians!
