High Print Quality

Fitted with a 200 dpi printhead as
standard and with the flexibility to
easily upgrade to 300 dpi, these
machines are unique in the market.

Fully Compatible

Software and supplies are compatible
with TOSHIBA’s previous range topping
models - the B-452 and B-431 printers,
existing media stocks and grades do
not need to be changed.

The B-SA4 really is the perfect

‘Total Solution’ for any printing

application, with high-quality

output, industrial performance,

versatile design, advanced

functionality including RFID

options and the backing of

a globally recognised quality

the B-SA4 the printer of choice

for any quiet office situation,

whilst the superior quality

output and exceptional

perfectly with robust industrial

environments.

The B-SA4 facilitates simple user mainten­ance with easy access to main service parts.
The snap-in printhead and quick change
platen roller can be replaced by the oper­ator without engineer intervention, lowering
the total cost of ownership.

Ease of Use

The graphical LCD display and simple
to follow menu, ensures the user can
set up and operate the B-SA4 with
ease. The open-access front-loading
feature, with a space saving ergonomic
design, allows trouble-free drop-in
media loading with a moveable sensor
adaptable to a wide range of different
types of media.

Compact and Robust

With a footprint close to A4 in size, the front
opening, top loading design ensures the
B-SA4 is compact, whilst the choice of
casing (plastic or metal) guarantees the
printer is ergonomic for the office or robust
enough for harsh operating environments.
This provides the flexibility to configure
the printer to suit most applications, from
desktop to industrial. Extras such as peel-off
and cutter modules fit neatly inside the front
cover, ensuring the printer remains compact.

Network Management Suite, that allows
the user to:

● manage all the SNMP printers in the

network through their IP address and
serial number

● update and format firmware across the

network simultaneously

● view the status of each individual printer

in real-time with real-time alerts, including
instructions for troubleshooting.
