TRANSACT INTRODUCES 10 BASE-T ETHERNET INTERFACE FOR ITS ITHACA® BRAND PRINTERS Ethernet Option Makes Printers IP Addressable Wallingford, CT, April 13, 2004 – TransAct Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq: TACT), a leading producer of transaction-based printers for customers worldwide under the Ithaca® brand name, today introduced the Company’s new 10 Base-T Ethernet interface for the POS market. This is an additional option to the printer interfaces currently available on the Ithaca® iThermTM 280, POSjet® 1000, POSjet® 1500 and BANKjet® 1500 printers. With this new Ethernet interface the printer becomes IP addressable, allowing it to be a shared device on an Ethernet network. TransAct’s Ethernet interface implementation provides a utility enabling users to conveniently use a web page to configure protocols, assign IP addresses, and update Ethernet firmware. TransAct also provides a driver to redirect an RS-232 serial communications port to an IP address, allowing users employing applications written for RS-232 serial to take advantage of Ethernet’s benefits without requiring potentially expensive application changes. Jim Stetson, TransAct Technologies Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing, said “We are committed to providing the technology that our customers need. As our customers begin to take advantage of the benefits of Ethernet connectivity, we have provided a solution that is both user-friendly and cost effective.” About TransAct Technologies Incorporated TransAct designs, develops, manufactures and markets transaction-based printers under the ITHACA® and MAGNETEC® brand names.
