Toshiba TEC B-872 Thermal Transfer or Direct Bar Code Label Thermal Printer

Eight inch thermal transfer or direct thermal bar code label printer

The Toshiba TEC B-872 Thermal Transfer or Direct Thermal Printer continues TEC's tradition of producing printers that lead the market in price and performance. Featuring 305dpi (12 dots per mm) and print speeds up to 8 inches per second (200mm/second) this printer also incorporated ribbon save and the ability to handle a wide range of media types. Printer performance may be enhanced through the addition of options which include cutter and peel-off options.

The Toshiba TEC B-872 features the latest design in print head technology. Toshiba TEC's exclusive, patent pending, FETHRä (Floating Edge Type Head Revolution) permits lighter head pressure to print on a wide range of face stocks from thick to thin, and on various smoothness of papers. This revolutionary FETHR thermal head adjusts automatically and does not require mechanical changes. Print quality is not dependent upon pressure with the platen, and there is less abrasion and wear on the print head. Minimum pressure with the print head extends print head life well beyond other printer manufacturers.

The Toshiba TEC B-872's unique straight-through paper path allows the printer to automatically adjust the printer to print on various thickness of label and tag materials. It also makes media loading easy.
