Empower your
workforce to
print labels and
receipts at any
location

Brother provides a comprehensive range of RuggedJet
mobile thermal printers. Ready to use straight from the
box, they have impressive print speeds and a rugged
build quality to fit the requirements of a wide range of
vertical market applications. Bluetooth, wireless and
USB connectivity options make it possible for busy
mobile workers to print on site or in the field.

RuggedJet mobile
thermal printers

Rugged design

Due to the nature of many mobile applications, printers may be exposed to a range of
outdoor conditions which can affect the print operation or cause damage e.g. traffic warden
printing in the field. However, RuggedJet carries IP54 certification offering that extra peace
of mind for such environments. In addition, The RuggedJet Series is drop tested up to

2.5 metres to provide extra credibility in terms of toughness and reliability.

thermal printers to take
on every application

Retail

Increase efficiency for retailers with
lightweight, durable and easy to use
mobile printers. Provides employees
with a simple and accurate labelling
and receipt solution, perfect for pricing,
promotions and queue-busting to
increase customer satisfaction.

Transport and logistics

Agents need to be equipped with a
seamless solution to help streamline
their workflow and minimise downtime.
Mobility and integration are key,
so agents have access to systems
providing pricing, invoicing, inventory
control, and customer information,
making it easier to produce invoices
on-site.

Field service

Whether there's a need for receipts
or smaller format labels, without a
mobile print solution, handwritten
documents are time consuming and
prone to error. That’s why businesses
are empowering their workforce with
mobile technology, allowing them
to complete tasks on the move,
professionally and on schedule.

Applications include:

• Shelf edge labels

• Queue busting receipt printing

• Mark down or discount labels

• Price labels

• Food traceability labelling.

Applications include:

• Sales orders and confirmations

• Returned goods receipts and labels

• Customer receipts

• Delivery receipts.

Applications include:

• Receipts and invoices

• Repair estimates

• Statements of work

• Work orders

• Estimates and quotations

• Maintenance and service reports.

Public service

Warehousing

Increase operational efficiency by
allowing law enforcement officers and
emergency staff to document and
report incidents more accurately and
efficiently, at the point of interaction.
With their rugged design, fast print
speed and reliable operation, the range
offers a competitive combination of
performance and features.

Applications include:

• Parking violations

• Recording of accidents and
crime scenes

• Electronic citations and fines

• Warning notices.

Efficient warehousing operations and
worker productivity are critical to the
success of many companies. Using
wireless connectivity, the RJ mobile
printer range provides the ability to
print barcode labels on-demand, at
the point of application. This saves
time and reduces potential errors
caused by mislabelling.

Applications include:

• Work-in-progress labels

• Bin and shelf labels

• Shipping and despatch labels

• Inventory pick and return tickets.
