Brother’s RuggedJet 2 a Mobile Label and Receipt Printer
The RuggedJet 2 series is a mobile printer that has the capability of printing both labels and receipts. The RuggedJet 2 continues what made the RuggedJet family a popular choice among the mobile printer community, durability and reliability. With a smaller size and a rugged construction this makes the Brother printer best suited for mobile applications in multiple environments such as retail, parking, labs, public safety, pharmacies, hospitals, warehouses, and a wide variety of other environments. The RuggedJet 2 is available in four models, two of which (the RJ-2050 and RJ-2150) feature Apple MFi certification and Apple AirPrint compatibility making it the first mobile printer in the 2-inch category to include both of those features.
“Clearly, any business that is equipping a mobile workforce wants the printers they purchase to be compact, durable, easy to use, and truly mobile.” Said David Crist, President of Brother Mobile Solutions “They also want power options, connectivity options, and smooth interoperability across diverse operating systems – all at a competitive price. We believe the new RJ-2 Series more than exceeds those expectations.”
Brother Redefines Mobile Printing with New RuggedJet 2 Series
Brother has announced the launch of the new RuggedJet 2 Series, two-inch mobile label and receipt printers. The company’s first 2-inch format printers are the most compact, lightweight, and notably versatile printers in their class, incorporating the rugged durability and rock-solid reliability which have made the existing RuggedJet lineup popular.
Designed to wirelessly print both labels and receipts, the RuggedJet 2 was engineered to meet the varied and rigorous demands of today’s mobile environments. Available in four models, the printers support Bluetooth and Wi-Fi technology, in addition to iOS, Android, Windows mobile and Windows operating systems capability. Of special significance is the IP54 certification and 8.2 ft. drop protection, and advancements in speed and power further differentiate the new series.
The RJ-2050 and RJ-2150 models are the first in the 2-inch category to feature both Apple MFi certification and Apple AirPrint compatibility – allowing easy wireless printing from iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
Brother’s RuggedJet Series Now Apple Certified
Brother has announced that its RuggedJet 4 Wi-Fi handheld receipt and label printers now support Apple AirPrint wireless technology. AirPrint from Apple allows users to wirelessly print from iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch devices directly to RuggedJet 4 printers with ease.
Built-in AirPrint compatibility allows instant printing from iOS devices without the need to download or install drivers or interfaces and simplifies the RuggedJet user experience, making the thermal printer even easier to use. Moreover, all existing RuggedJet 4 Wi-Fi printers are backward compatible with AirPrint via a simple, free firmware update available from Brother.
With AirPrint support built in, an organization’s application developers benefit in that they do not have to spend time programming the printers or dealing with installation and set-up. Businesses and government agencies benefit as well by gaining device flexibility and the agility to future-proof their technology investments.
With the RuggedJet 4 certification complete the RuggedJet 2 will be the next MFi certified printer in October 2016 followed by the RuggedJet 3 in December.
