Toshiba America Business Solutions' new bar-code printer duo presents businesses with 6-inch industrial label printers powering round-the-clock label applications for horticulture, transportation, warehouse, manufacturing and retail professionals.

Ratcheting Up Industrial Labeling

Toshiba's rugged and high-performance BX610T and BX620T bar-code printers feature intuitive and vibrant LCD interfaces while delivering high-resolution, large-format (6-inch) labels. The flexible and cloud-powered label printers additionally equip businesses with compelling systems for legacy product upgrades.

A dual-core processor, propelling both real-time and Linux operating systems (OS), ignites the label printers' A-BRID ecosystem. Toshiba's A-BRID platform integrates MFP technology with high-tech-laden hardware, enabling accelerated print speeds (up to 14 inches per second) and advanced IT applications to deliver a premium labeling experience.

Toshiba's 6-inch industrial label printers tout advanced technology that creates operational efficiencies while enhancing the user experience in the following ways.

24/7 Performance & Productivity

• Native PDF direct printing offers full-function, driverless PDF processing, and auto-scaling and rotation while creating such variable data as bar codes, QR codes and serialized text. Such functionality is ideal for e-commerce shipping, pharmaceutical serialization and just-in-time manufacturing.
• Cloud connectivity and remote management, integrating with Toshiba's Elevate Sky MFPConnect and SOTI Connect, enables 24/7 IoT fleet monitoring, automatic firmware updates, counters and logs.
• Auto-emulation detecting ZPL II, IPL, SBPL, DPL and TPCL allows drop-in replacement of outdated printers for seamless legacy upgrades.

Intuitive, Efficient & Secure User Experience

• Customizable, full color 4.3-inch LCD with QR code functionality connects professionals to mobile tech support and self-help videos.
• Label near-edge detection and Toshiba's Ribbon Save technology (specifically on the BX610T) reduce downtime while optimizing label media. Near-edge detection perfectly suits horticulture professionals by easily printing thicker media such as plant stakes and tree wraps.
• Printer cloning replicates configurations to simplify print fleet deployments.
• Embedded apps enable standalone printing from barcode scanners or keyboards.
• Tested and certified applications help ensure data compliance across all markets.

"Toshiba's BX600 series couples the innovative and industry-leading functionality of our popular A-BRID platform systems with the capability to print thicker, larger-format labels," said Bill Melo, vice president of marketing and strategic business development, Toshiba America Business Solutions. "By increasing flexibility, accelerating workflows and lowering total cost of ownership, our 6-inch industrial label printers provide businesses with a cogent reason to upgrade their existing fleets."

Toshiba's newly introduced 6-inch industrial label printers are now available from the company's authorized resellers, starting at the manufacturer's suggested retail price of $4,379 for the BX610T and $3,659 for the BX620T.
