Brady’s new BradyPrinter i4311 is designed to bridge the gap between stationary benchtop label printer power and mobile flexibility. A well-known limitation for most mobile label printers is the maximum width of the label. The i4311 marks the new maximum label width at 101.60 mm for connected label printing systems that retain true portability. The larger print width brings a lot more applications into the mobile label printing range, including perforated work-in-progress tags, common size rating plates and larger cable tags, wraps, sleeves, asset labels, component labels and GHS-compliant chemical labels.
Cut the cord
The printer is powered by a battery that can handle 5000 large labels on a single charge. Swapping batteries has been made easy and they can be charged in 3.5 hours.
The new BradyPrinter i4311 can print labels from phones, tablets and laptops, and even from central company systems using Brady’s software development kit or ZPL support. In addition to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, the i4311 also features ethernet and USB-C connections.
Large internal memory for templates
The printer’s on-board 7’’ (17.78 cm) touch screen offers both on-device support as well as the capability to print labels directly from the printer. Users can store on average different 85.000 label templates in the printer that can be completed with an on-board ‘fill in’ option, fully responsive to your touch. Some printer features were developed with close involvement from long-standing customers. As a result, the printer’s footprint was limited to 23 x 23 x 33 cm and 5.9 kg and the device’s easy-to-grip handle was optimised. A battery-saver was also added for when the printer is not in use and battery-swapping was made even easier.
Compatible with more than 1300 Brady label parts, the i4311 can print on a majority of Brady’s reliable, laboratory-tested label materials. Just like other Brady printers the i4311 includes LabelSense technology to automatically set label material burn, size and pre-print settings as soon as a label roll is loaded.
The label printer also works with a host of free Brady Express Labels mobile apps. These enable users to select text in an image file for example, and import it for printing on a label. Or to read barcodes with a phone and send them to the printer. Labels can even be printed completely hands-free, using BradyVoice, a smartphone microphone and the BradyPrinter i4311.
