Smart Operating Mode
| Smart vs manual operation |
Smart Mode: When using i75-series label and ribbon rolls.
Manual Modes: When using non-i75-series label and ribbon rolls.
| | LabelSense Print Technology | Yes — using i75-series rolls the printer reads smart chip on supplies for no-waste printing; requires no calibration of blank labels; has pre-optimized heat and speed settings and features auto label setup in Brady software. | | Sensor, speed and heat adjustments | When using i75-series rolls no calibration required; no wasted labels. Sensor location, sensor mode, speed and heat settings are auto-set. | | Media loading / handling (Smart Mode) |
Labels: Open core roll with i75 smart chip, feed material into guides, 20-second changeover, no need to set sensor or calibrate.
Ribbon: On a cartridge, slides into place and always self-centers with ink facing label, 20-second changeover.
| | Media loading / handling (Manual Mode) |
Labels: Open core non-smart roll, feed material into guides, set sensor and calibrate out blank labels
Ribbon: Open core manual roll, slides into place. Must center, must check ink-side

0.125 in. to 12 in. (die-cut media)
0.40 in. minimum (cut label length)
User should test to the application. Print performance on small parts or parts smaller than a printer's minimum label dimension spec is dependent on multiple factors including print speed, quantity in print run, heat setting, and the size / layout of the printed elements

Options / Accessories
| Replacement printheads | Brady printheads (BradyID 300 dpi) | | Replacement print rollers | Variable widths to improve printhead protection with narrow supplies - field installable
To avoid excessive printhead wear, print roller should be wider than label media and ribbon should be wider than roller—this prevents exposed printhead against exposed roller.
| | Auto Cutter | Full-cut auto cutter and perf-cut auto cutter available; field-installable to front panel (BradyID) | | Label Taken Sensor (Peel config only) |
For auto advance and print on peel model printer Field installable to front of printer.
User should test any material for peel printing to the intended application. Print & peel performance on any label is dependent on multiple factors including auto-present characteristics of label material, peel offset distance, and print speed. (Spring 2025)
| | I/O Interface |
Field installable to rear of printer
