Rugged, Easy to Use; USB, Serial Port or Bluetooth on board

TOKYO, August 2010 – TOSHIBA TEC today added the wide web MD-480I in-vehicle printer to its printer range. Building on 30 years of producing high-quality dot printers, the MD-480I is the pinnacle of this technology, offering 24-pin high resolution printhead and a host of options that add flexibility to route sales businesses operations.

The Toshiba MD-480I dot matrix printer is a vehicle-mounted printer designed to enable delivery staff to produce either single sheet or multi-part invoices (Max: 7-ply), delivery notes or other forms at the point of need. With continuous form or single sheet forms (paper size is 102 x 267 mm width) and a print speed of up to 400 characters/sec, documents can be produced quickly and easily to suit the application of the customer.

“Let me point out two examples of the newest addition to our mobility solutions that just show the high standards we bring daily to your sales teams,” Angel de Juan said: “The 180-degree printer cover opening enables safe and easy replacement of the ribbon cassette; secondly, there is no need for any battery as the MD-480I operates either on an AC adapter or directly from the vehicle DC power circuit. Obviously, every Toshiba printer is both RoHS and WEEE compliant.”

Rugged, the printer excels in being a low-maintenance workhorse for your mobile sales force. Combined with industry-leading applications from our partners, our mobile printer range capture, move and manage data at the point of business activity, so your sales staff has exactly what they need to make the most of every face-to-face encounter.

The Toshiba MD-480I mobile dot printer is available now through TOSHIBA TEC’s channel network in North America and Europe.
