Toshiba Tec launches new thermal barcode printer series

Toshiba Tec has launched its new BV400D thermal barcode printer series, which the company says are desktop printers that are the most powerful devices that Toshiba has ever designed.

The BV400D series features Toshiba technology previously exclusively reserved for mid-range or industrial printers only, such as smart LCD and print speeds up to 7 inches per second. The printers offer high print quality and performance, which the company says can “rival most mid-ranged printers.”

“The BV400D is a design collaboration between Toshiba Tec barcode and POS engineering with the aim to develop a unique series of printers that meets the expectations of modern customers,” said Deyon Antoine, product manager at Toshiba Tec. “These printers are incredibly versatile; the high-speed printers are ideal for transport and logistics where shipping labels are printed with exceptionally reliable quality. With extended connectivity features, such as wireless printing, they are also the perfect match for the retail and food and beverages sectors – to name a few.”

The BV400D series integrates into a variety of IT environments through its multiple connection options. The printers are MFi certified and work with iOS devices, which makes them suitable for use in the e-commerce sector.

The new operating system in the BV400D series enables the printers to be entirely controlled from handheld devices that run Toshiba apps in iOS, Android or Windows. Toshiba supports a variety of SDKs to develop unique workflow applications on various systems. Additional functions, including the simple receipt mode, enable automatic saving of paper when using continuous material.
