Design, preview, print – all from your phone

Brady Corporation’s new M211 label printer is a lightweight, sturdy, and wearable device that prints both pre-sized and continuous labels to identify cables and components. It can create even complex labels, all of which can be designed, printed, and previewed from your phone.

The new M211 label printer can easily be clipped to any belt. It connects seamlessly to smartphones via Bluetooth and is driven by Brady’s Express Labels App. The app allows users to quickly design, preview, and print labels, as well as integrate data from spreadsheets.

“No other phone-driven label printer today matches the label design possibilities of the M211. In addition, designs can be saved and shared between colleagues, either in the field or at the office,” explains Christophe Nelissen, Brady Corporation’s regional manager of Middle East and Southern Africa.

Tested, quality labels

The M211’s ability to print on both continuous and pre-sized labels is quite unique for an entry-level portable label printer. “Brady offers M211 users more than 90 different label cartridges to choose from. These include general purpose and dedicated labels, designed for reliability in specific applications,” says Nelissen. “Brady has technical data sheets with label test results that evaluate adhesion to various types of flat and curved surfaces, and label print resistance to humidity, abrasion, heat, cold, weathering, and other influences.”

Resilient and easy to use

The new M211 label printer prints up to 300 labels on a single battery charge. Yet the system weighs only 0.5 kg, and has a compact design to make it extremely wearable. “At the same time, the M211 is a tough device,” adds Nelissen. “Tests indicate the tiny printer survives 1.8 m falls, 110 kg crushes, and military specification shocks. Next to its ability to survive almost any job site, the M211 features ‘drop-lock-print’ label cartridges designed for swift ‘on-the-job’ consumable switching.”
