MP Series

Desktop Industrial
Label Printers

The MP Series printers are a unique series of small-size industrial

printers. The MP Compact 4 Mark III and MP Nova Mark II

printers provide label-printing solutions that offer great customer

benefits despite their small size. The MP Series printers are

manufactured to the highest standards and feature a die-cast

frame and metal cover for protection, making them durable and

reliable in demanding industrial environments.

For tight spaces and limited workspaces, the small footprint of

the MP Series printers takes up little room in smaller, crowded

areas and can be conveniently mounted on walls, manufacturing

lines and mobile trolleys. A special “Mobile” version of the

MPCompact can also be mounted directly onto forklifts, which

allows for a substantial increase in labour efficiency, reduced

errors and faster workflows. In comparison, they occupy less

than half the space of traditional industrial label printers, allowing

operators to retain valuable workspace.

The MP Series printers can be used in almost any orientation,

including upside down. Their large, easy-to-manage levers,

single-handed media removal and open covers make the MP

Series printers the next generation in ergonomic printer

engineering and save time, money and space.

The optional 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless LAN makes it easy to

connect to networks and to use mobile printing operations such

as a forklift.

MP Compact is a small industrial label printer with mobile
and wireless capabilities, ideal for work environments
where space is an issue.

MP Nova is a high-speed, 102 mm (4 inch) or

152 mm

(6 inch) tabletop printer with large label roll capacity and
either direct thermal or thermal transfer print capability.

The MP Series Printers are easy to use, rugged and do as

much as large industrial printers, yet need only a fraction
of the space. The all-metal casing makes the printers
ideal for harsh industrial environments but quiet and small
enough to operate in low-noise environments such as an
office or hospital.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Label retrieval time is
reduced when the MP
Compact is mounted on
a forklift.
