NEW - Toshiba B-EX4

Low total cost of ownership

Toshiba has built a reputation in reducing the total cost of ownership on any of its products. The B-EX4 continues this practice with low energy use, ribbon save technology and user replaceable long life print heads.

Print speed 14 inches per second

With a print speed of up to 14 inches per second the B-EX4 is one of the fastest 4-inch label printers and is over 44% faster than the B-SX4.

Change your own printheads without an engineer

Snap-in printhead and platen rollers allow you to perform routine maintenance without the need for a service engineer saving both time and money. Hinged printhead block provides access to the feedpath for easy cleaning, maintenance or just to remove a jammed label. Automatic printhead detection means the B-EX4 will always use the right settings without the need to re-conifgure each time.

Compatible with Zebra ZPL II

Advanced emulation technology enables the B-EX4 printer to work with ZPL II® data streams with no software changes required.

Connect with USB or Ethernet Built-in
