Toshiba Tec Launches High-Performance 8-Inch Wide Label Printer "BX820T-TS02-S"

Toshiba Tec Corporation (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President: Hironobu Nishikori; hereinafter "Toshiba Tec") will launch "BX820T-TS02-S," a new high-performance 8-inch wide label printer, on June 1, 2026. This product is utilized in various workplaces such as manufacturing in the automotive, steel, chemical, and materials sectors, as well as logistics warehouses. The "BX820T-TS02-S" is equipped with the A-BRID architecture (*1), which applies technologies cultivated by Toshiba Tec in the multifunction printer field to label printers, improving basic functions, operability, and expandability. High-Performance 8-Inch Wide Label Printer "BX820T-TS02-S" In recent years, manufacturing and logistics sites have seen an increase in the complexity of management tasks, such as the need for printer driver re-settings and version updates when PC operating systems are updated, in addition to labor shortages. Furthermore, some sites have limited workspace where PCs cannot be permanently installed, requiring flexible operational systems. To meet these needs, the "BX820T-TS02-S" is equipped with standalone printing, which allows direct connection of external devices and printing from the printer alone; exclusive control that supports simultaneous reception from multiple systems; and direct printing, which can print PDF files directly from core systems. These features are expected to enable effective use of workspace, reduce the number of PCs, and alleviate the burden of printer driver compatibility work during OS updates. Furthermore, the new control panel with a 4.3-inch LCD and 11 keys improves operability, and by controlling a PATLITE USB warning light (*2) via command, it notifies errors with sound and light, thereby accelerating anomaly detection on site and contributing to shorter line downtime. Toshiba Tec will continue to provide products and services that contribute to improving operational efficiency in various workplaces and promote DX.

1. Improved Expandability and Operability with A-BRID Architecture The A-BRID architecture allows the printer to process PDFs and images, and external devices such as scanners and keyboards can be directly connected and used with the printer. The adoption of a 4.3-inch LCD and an 11-key control panel has improved screen visibility and operability. 2. Supports Direct Printing of PDF Files, Reducing Management Burden during OS Updates PDF files generated by core systems can be printed directly without using a printer driver. A4 portrait PDF files can be output at actual size, and since the printer processes PDF data, the time until printing starts is shortened. This also eliminates the need for driver updates during OS updates, contributing to reducing the burden on administrators (*3). 3. Standalone Printing and Exclusive Reception Control Improve On-site Operations It supports standalone operation, allowing external devices to be connected for printing directly from the printer alone, enabling efficient operation even in workplaces where PCs cannot be permanently installed (*4). Additionally, exclusive control, which enables simultaneous reception from multiple systems and interfaces and printing in the order received, allows consolidating tasks traditionally performed by multiple label printers into one device (*5). * Product Name: "BX820T-TS02-S" * Release Date: June 1, 2026 * Price: Open Price * Sales Region: Nationwide * Planned Sales Volume: 4,000 units / 5 years * Sales Target: Automotive industry, steel industry, chemical industry, logistics warehousing industry, etc.

* Thorough Chemical Substance Management To reduce environmental impact after disposal, bromine has been reduced by adopting halogen-reduced materials for some of the casing plastic, printed circuit boards, and harnesses. It also complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive (2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863) regarding the use of specific hazardous substances. Toshiba Tec conducts environmental design assessments from the development and design stages regarding the product lifecycle (parts and material procurement → manufacturing process → distribution → customer use → recycling of used products). (*1) A-BRID is an architecture that adopts a dual OS configuration combining a real-time OS and an embedded OS, achieving both printer control stability and expandability for external device linkage. (*2) The PATLITE USB warning light "LR6-USB" must be purchased separately. (*3) No image conversion software license fee is incurred when printing PDF files directly. (*4) Built-in applications "AutoPrint" and "CopyPrint" are available for anyone to use. Program development employs general-purpose languages, allowing customization by many system integrators.
