Ground-breaking New Brother RJ-4200 Mobile Printer Range

SYDNEY - Oct. 18, 2018 - PRLog -- Brother Australia has raised the bar in mobile printing, releasing the innovative new RJ-4200 series that is designed to speak to all your mobile devices, and transform logistics workflows across the country. The ultra-compact and ergonomic RJ-4200 series raises the bar on functionality and is engineered to deliver major improvements in performance, ruggedness, connectivity, integration, deployment, battery power and mounting options to enhance Brother's existing range of mobile solutions. Mobile Deploy ‒ another market first from Brother ‒ comes standard with the new series – an innovative, cloud-based app that facilitates fast, easy deployment of printers by enabling remote updates at the touch of a button.

David Molloy, Mobile Print Specialist at Brother Australia, notes: "Our goal with the RJ-4200 series was to set a new, higher industry standard on mobile printers' ease of use and integration, ruggedness, drop protection, connectivity, battery size and capacity. We set out to dramatically improve performance metrics and user experience as well ‒ and it has exceeded expectations in beta trial and early deployments. We think that users across market sectors such as route accounting, transportation, public safety, field service, manufacturing and warehouse operations will immediately recognise the value."

Resounding Success in Trials

Heather Burnett, Head of Distributor Sales for VIP (Vermont Information Processing), a leading provider of route accounting, data collection, warehouse management, and sales execution applications for the beverage industry, adds: "When we participated in the beta release of this product it became evident that the RJ-4200 would meet the stringent requirements of even our toughest and most technologically advanced beverage distributors." Burnett further comments: "We're particularly impressed that this printer is so rugged and durable, and the compact, high-capacity battery is a real bonus."

David Krebs, Industry Analyst and Executive Vice President of Enterprise Mobility at VDC Research Group believes the new series fills an important void. "The Mobile Deploy feature gives enterprises and fleets of all sizes remote management and support capabilities for business-critical field assets such as mobile printers. In addition, Mobile Deploy addresses many of the functionality gaps found in standard mobile device management solutions when supporting unique devices such as Bluetooth® printers."
Shawn Sicking, Vice President of Technology Sales for Saltus Technologies, developer of digiTICKET ecitation software for the public safety sector comments that, "Printer size, power and mounting configurations are of paramount importance in the police car, and the active docking station available with the RJ-4200 series resolves a key space issue faced by police departments nationwide."
