Description
ico-plus ico-minus

The Toshiba BX420D Label Printer is an industrial-grade, direct thermal (ribbonless) printing solution designed for high-volume labeling in logistics, warehousing, retail and healthcare environments. Built around a dual-core 1.0 GHz CPU and A-BRID dual OS architecture, the BX420D delivers reliable 203 dpi output with fast throughput for shipping labels, inventory tags and product identification. Its integrated peeler option, broad media compatibility and comprehensive connectivity simplify integration into distributed and cloud-managed deployments, while a robust chassis, intuitive full-color LCD and extensive barcode/code support reduce downtime and streamline label production for B2B and enterprise workflows.

Key Features

  • High-speed printing: Up to 305 mm/s (12 ips) throughput to accelerate packing, shipping and high-volume label applications.
  • Direct thermal, ribbonless operation: Simplifies media handling and reduces consumable management for applications where thermal labels are suitable.
  • Flexible connectivity & cloud-ready: Gigabit Ethernet, USB host, optional WLAN (802.11ac/ax) and cloud/fleet integrations enable remote management and easy integration with enterprise systems.
  • Wide media compatibility: Supports roll and fanfold media, multiple paper and synthetic substrates, and a broad backing width range to handle diverse labeling needs.
  • Operator-focused design: Full-color LCD, LED indicators and 11 keys plus an integrated peeler improve usability and reduce operator training and errors.
