TSC Alpha-30L 3-Inch Mobile Label Printer overview
The Alpha-30L is TSC's 3-inch mobile label and receipt printer for staff on the move. It prints 203 dpi direct thermal labels up to 72 mm wide at up to 5 inches per second. It is IP54 rated and tested for 1.8 m drops and 1.0 m tumbles, or 2.5 m drops in its protective case.
The printer comes in two connection configurations, both with USB Type-C and NFC tap-to-pair: Apple MFi-certified Bluetooth 5.0, or dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi with fast roaming plus Bluetooth. A built-in peeler and a factory linerless option suit different labelling jobs, and a 2.3-inch colour LCD shows printer status.
The smart Li-ion battery reports its health to TSC Console and SOTI Connect for fleet management. TSC offers vehicle mounts, battery eliminators, cradles and chargers, so the printer can also be used on forklifts.
