Mount Laurel, NJ, (February 19, 2014) – OKI Data Americas announces its participation in the 2014 Annual Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Conference & Exhibition taking place February 23-27 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL. Sharing booth #918 with Howard™ Medical, a leading provider of custom mobility solutions and specialized hardware technologies for healthcare professionals, OKI Data will be demonstrating the LD640 from its award-winning line of thermal transfer/direct thermal label printers. Together, OKI Data and Howard Medical provide cost-effective and innovative solutions for hospitals, pharmacies and laboratories with mobile print technologies through mobile carts or workstations on wheels equipped with external devices like bar code scanners and OKI Data’s label printers.

In addition to its customized mobile print solutions, OKI Data will be exhibiting its on-demand barcode label printers using DataRay™ technology to provide a specialized patient identification solution for the healthcare industry.

Whether mobile or positioned at the workstation, OKI Data’s label printers allow healthcare professionals to quickly, easily and automatically print patient wristbands as well as important patient labels for bedside ward collect and morning draw, charts, document identification and folders, helping healthcare facilities increase productivity and enhance workplace efficiency.
