Toshiba B-FV4D and Toshiba B-FV4T Barcode Printers
Toshiba B-FV4D and B-FV4T barcode printers are entry-level desktop thermal barcode printers with an affordable price tag and several variants. They are ideal thermal label and barcode printers suitable for producing barcodes, labels, and tags for shipping, warehousing, manufacturing, transportation, logistics, courier, and pharmaceutical applications.
What are the Differences Between the Toshiba B-FV4D barcode printer and the Toshiba B-FV4T barcode printer?
The Toshiba B-FV4D barcode printer is the direct thermal variant in the series while the Toshiba B-FV4T barcode printer is the thermal transfer version. Direct thermal barcode printers do not use a ribbon and print black text and graphics. Thermal transfer barcode printers do use a colored ribbon and will print in whichever color the transfer ribbon is.
The Toshiba B-FV4D barcode printer weighs a little less than the Toshiba B-FV4T barcode printer and is also thinner, taller, and not quite as deep since it does not have to hold any ribbon roll.
The Toshiba B-FV4T can print both thermal transfer label media when used with a ribbon or direct thermal media without ribbon. However, the B-FV4D can only print direct thermal label media.
