The TSC Alpha-30L is a rugged 3-inch mobile label printer for enterprise professionals on the move – built for shipping and receiving, direct store delivery, warehouse and manufacturing labelling and retail shelf-edge work. It prints sharp 203 dpi direct thermal labels, tags and receipts up to 72 mm wide at up to 127 mm/s, takes rolls up to 67 mm in diameter, and its 3030 mAh smart battery lasts a full shift. IP54 sealing, 1.8 m drops and MIL-STD-810G vibration ratings keep it working on forklifts and in delivery vans. This version, A30L-A001-0012, connects via MFi Bluetooth 5.0, USB-C and NFC tap-to-pair and comes with the factory-fitted linerless kit for liner-free labels; battery, power adapter and belt clip are included.
