The mobile wireless devices can print up to 8ppm and are available with a carry and mount case, while also having Freedom Architecture software to ensure compatibility for smartphones, tablets and PCs across the board.
The latest series features out-of-the-box ready models, while Apple AirPrint is now available with the PJ-773 and Bluetooth with the PJ-763MFi, Business Wire reported. The “smartly engineered” carry and mount case provides IP54 rated construction for a four-foot drop protection, while an anti-curl mechanism ensures flat documents.
Brother has also created a series of bundles, or ‘kits’, for the new printers, including a vehicle kit, for vehicle or fleet operators that need vehicle-mounted/powered printers; and a workforce kit, which is a light kit for everyday use by the typical professional.
There is also a developer’s kit, for application or software developers who need more than the basics to refine their designs; and a basic kit, which provides the essential for the professional looking to print from laptop or PC. The printer has been released for the US market, but is yet to be made available in Europe.
Aimed at the OEM’s core mobile customers in home health care, transport, public safety and other professional fields, the new range purportedly maintains Brother’s offering as the “smallest, most compact, technologically advanced full-page mobile thermal printer”.
Ravi Panjwani, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management for Brother Mobile Solutions, said: “By combining smart design with in-depth knowledge of today’s evolving mobile workforce, we have eliminated the last existing obstacles of mobile platform compatibility and connectivity.
“Mobile professionals can print from any iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, smartphone, tablet or PC, and in just about any physical configuration that a customer’s work environment requires – mounted in a vehicle, transportable to a jobsite, carried in a case, or simply stowed in a backpack.
“Plus, there are no ink cartridges, ribbons or toners to deal with.”
