TSC Alpha 3R Barcode Printer
Description:
The Alpha-3R barcode printer is a comfortable, light-weight printer capable of working with any mobile printing application where you need quick, simple receipts/labels on demand.
Our Alpha-3R barcode printer is designed for a rough life, inside the IP54-rated protective case to resist dust and water and with its rubber over-mold design prepared to take up to a five foot fall and keep printing.
These small and light printers can be worn comfortably for a full shift, without interfering with the user’s tasks. Use USB, or optional Bluetooth®, 802.11 b/g/n Wireless or Serial to connect to a mobile computer or even a smart phone and produce clear easy-to-read receipts/labels hour after hour.
