Mobile Printers
RP Series
Rugged Mobile Printers
The RP Series mobile printers offer the most rugged and reliable
performance for route accounting, direct store delivery, citation
printing, car rental return receipts and field service workers. Frequent
drops, vibration and exposure to dust and water are just a few
examples of the regular abuse that mobile printers endure. The RP
Series printers are designed to withstand these harsh conditions
and give you years of reliable thermal receipt and label printing.
The RP Series mobile printers are built for the most rugged environments
with a wide temperature spec and IP54 rating for dust and moisture
ingress. They are optimized for all-day receipt printing at up to five
inches per second and are designed for label printing as well. The
RP Series comes in different print widths to match your particular
application, and each version can print a range of print widths as well.
All versions come with a rechargeable battery that can be charged
inside or outside the printer and was designed to last a full shift
for most use cases. When a battery needs to be changed during a
shift, it is hot-swappable. The printer can run for 20–120 seconds
(depending on wireless communications) without a battery and not
lose connectivity or need a restart, thus enhancing productivity.
For applications where the printer is permanently mounted in a
vehicle and to power, a battery eliminator option is available.
The printer also tracks its health and provides analytics related to
the battery age, printhead condition and any unusual or extreme
environmental conditions the printer has encountered. This allows
you to manage your fleet of printers and get the maximum uptime.
The RP2 and RP4 are fast mobile thermal
printers for use in the most rugged
environments. They feature the latest
wireless technology for easy, untethered
use, increasing worker productivity.
Accessories include a variety of mounting
solutions to meet your application requirements.
The RP Series printers use the same mounting
attachment as the widely used MFxT printers
to allow the printer to drop into current
installations with a retrofit adapter. The
printers are also compatible with all popular
thermal printer languages and protocols.
