Compact Printers couple wireless capability with expanded ribbon capacity. <\/em><\/p>\n

Irvine, CA, December 7, 2015<\/em> \u2014\u00a0Toshiba America Business Solutions<\/a>\u00a0today introduces its desktop BFV-4 thermal barcode printer series<\/a>\u00a0for on-demand labels in any transportation\/logistics, healthcare and retail environment.<\/p>\n

The printers\u2019 compact and top-loading, clamshell design \u2013 weighing in at less than 5 \u00bd pounds \u2013 facilitates sharing between departments, dedicated to a single station or any place where space is limited. \u00a0Available in both thermal transfer (BFV-4T) and direct thermal (BFV-4D) formats, both printers come standard with USB and Ethernet connectivity with optional wireless 802.11 b\/g and Bluetooth allowing for label printing from other locations without cables or wiring. Toshiba\u2019s wireless configurations will be available beginning in Q1 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cVDC forecasts high single-digit growth for desktop printers as these take share away from industrial alternatives due to increased demand for low-to-mid volume barcode labeling in healthcare, logistics, and retail,\u201d said Richa Gupta, senior analyst at VDC Research. \u201cToshiba\u2019s competitively priced BFV-4 line is designed to address this demand while also potentially giving the company access to new accounts with its brand-agnostic approach to printer emulation.\u201d Users will also appreciate the BFV-4T printer\u2019s expanded ribbon capacity as the model is capable of using a high-capacity 300 meter ribbon for optimal efficiency. \u00a0The BFV-4T is also backward compatible with its predecessor, Toshiba\u2019s popular B-EV4 printer \u2013 which holds smaller 100 meter ribbons \u2013 thereby providing customers with consumable options.<\/p>\n

With a maximum speed of 6 inches per second, the B-FV4 series deliver up to 57 four-by-six inch labels per minute to accommodate even the busiest of environments. \u00a0Toshiba\u2019s latest thermal barcode printers additionally feature emulations such as ZPL\u00ae<\/sup>, EPL\u00ae<\/sup>, DPL\u00ae<\/sup>and IPL\u00ae \u00a0<\/sup>for seamless and efficient integration within any organization\u2019s existing operation. \u00a0Users may easily switch emulations via Toshiba\u2019s settling tool utility.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe introduction of our BFV-4 series provides the necessary complement to our existing thermal barcode printer line,\u201d Bill Melo, Toshiba America Business Solution\u2019s chief marketing executive. \u00a0\u201cThe availability of our new thermal barcode printers now enables us to fully address our customers\u2019 desire for added mobility and efficiency while also providing a fairly compelling TCO.\u201d<\/p>\n

The BFV-4T and BFV-4D are now available for purchase through authorized Toshiba dealers. \u00a0To learn more about Toshiba thermal barcode printers or to locate an authorized Toshiba dealer in your area, visit www.business.toshiba.com<\/a>. \u00a0Toshiba\u2019s BFV-4 series features a one-year standard return to depot warranty.<\/p>\n
