Toshiba TEC B-472 Direct Thermal or Thermal Transfer Bar Code Label and Tag Printer
NOTE: Toshiba TEC B-SX4 was built to succeed the B-472 Model.
The Toshiba TEC B-472 direct thermal or thermal transfer bar code label and tag printer features the latest design in print head technology. Toshiba TEC's exclusive, patent pending, FETHRä (Floating Edge-Type Head Revolution) permits lighter head pressure to print on a wide range of face stocks from thin to thick, and on various smoothness of papers. This revolutionary FETHR thermal head adjusts automatically and does not require mechanical changes. Print quality is not dependent upon pressure with the platen, and there is less abrasion and wear on the print head. Minimum pressure with the print head extends print head life well beyond other print manufacturers.
The Toshiba TEC B-472's unique straight-through paper path allows the printer to automatically adjust to print on various thickness of label and tag materials. It also makes media loading easy.
Rugged Industrial Design
The Toshiba TEC B-472's rugged stainless steel construction is designed for the harshest environments, yet is attractive for office and store environments as well. The internal media supply protects it from dust and dirt.
