Designed for Forklift and Vehicle-Mounted Applications
The logiJET TM4 supports 12V, 24V and 48V DC power, allowing it to operate directly from forklift truck power systems or industrial vehicles. This makes it ideal for integration into mobile warehouse operations.
The printer can also operate using standard 100–240V AC power, allowing it to be used in fixed installations such as packing stations or workbenches when required.
This flexibility allows the printer to move easily between mobile and fixed printing environments.
Flexible Integration with Warehouse and ERP Systems
The Microplex logiJET TM4 is designed to integrate easily with enterprise systems and warehouse management platforms.
The printer supports multiple industrial printer languages including:
• PCL5
• IPDS
• ZPL II
• PDF Direct Printing
• IGP and other industrial printer emulations
This compatibility allows the printer to communicate directly with ERP systems such as SAP and legacy platforms such as IBM AS/400.
The TM4 uses the Microplex MPC 8.x print controller, enabling complex print data to be processed directly inside the printer for reliable industrial printing
Wireless Connectivity for Mobile Printing
For mobile warehouse applications the logiJET TM4 supports optional WiFi connectivity, allowing the printer to receive print jobs directly from mobile terminals or warehouse management systems.
This allows forklift operators and warehouse staff to print labels directly from:
• forklift-mounted computers
• handheld terminals
• warehouse management systems
• ERP software platforms
Wireless connectivity ensures smooth logistics workflows without the need for fixed network connections..
Robust Metal Housing and Useful Accessories
Metal Housing
The logiJET TM4 is designed for demanding industrial environments. Its durable metal housing protects internal components from shock, dust and contamination during everyday warehouse operations.
The enclosed design protects the label roll from dust and dirt, helping ensure reliable printing and long service life even in harsh production and logistics environments.
Optional Mounting Plate
• Vehicle mounting solution – Optional mounting plate allows the logiJET TM4 to be securely installed on forklift trucks and mobile warehouse vehicles.
• Quick-release mechanism – The printer can be removed quickly for servicing or maintenance without loosening mounting screws.
• Tool-free removal – The printer can be detached from the mounting plate without the use of tools, reducing downtime during maintenance.
• Integrated vibration damping – Specially designed vibration dampers isolate the printer from shock and vibration generated by vehicle movement.
• Improved reliability – Protects the printer from impacts and vibrations during everyday warehouse and logistics operations.
• Flexible mobile deployment – Ideal for mobile workstations, forklift trucks and other vehicle-mounted printing applications.
Optional Cutter
• Optional automatic cutter – Cuts labels or documents either individually or at the end of a complete print job.
• Job-based cutting – Allows an entire batch of labels to be printed and cut automatically for efficient handling.
• Peel-off label dispensing – Automatically separates labels from the backing liner, allowing operators to remove and apply labels quickly.
• Glove-friendly operation – Labels can be removed easily even when operators are wearing protective work gloves.
• Improved workflow efficiency – Ideal for warehouse, packing and logistics environments where labels must be applied rapidly.
• Flexible configuration – Cutter and peel-off functions can be configured depending on the application requirements.
• Detailed specifications available – Further technical information can be found in the logiJET TM4 data sheet.
Printer Web Interface
• Built-in web interface – Configure and manage the printer easily through the internal web-based management system.
• Clear configuration pages – Printer parameters are organised on structured pages for quick and simple setup.
• Remote monitoring – Printer status can be accessed remotely via SNMP.
• Status-out functionality – Optional status-out feature provides real-time notification of print job completion and printer events.
• Centralised management – IT teams can monitor printer status from a central control location.
• Reduced downtime – Remote monitoring allows faults to be detected and resolved quickly without visiting the printer.
Industrial Design for Harsh Environments
The logiJET TM4 is built for demanding industrial environments where dust, vibration and continuous operation are common.
Key design features include:
• rugged industrial construction
• compact design suitable for forklift mounting
• reliable thermal transfer and direct thermal printing
• high 300 dpi print resolution
• print speeds up to 150 mm per second (6 inches per second)
The printer is designed to operate in temperatures between 5°C and 40°C, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial facilities.
Frequently Asked Questions – Microplex logiJET TM4 Mobile Forklift Printer
What is the Microplex logiJET TM4 and how does it differ to the other printers in the logijet range?
The Microplex logiJET TM4 is an industrial mobile thermal label printer designed for forklift trucks, warehouse vehicles and mobile workstations. It allows labels and documentation to be printed directly at the point of handling within warehouse and production environments.
What is a forklift-mounted printer?
A forklift-mounted printer is installed directly onto a forklift truck or industrial vehicle. This allows warehouse operators to print pallet labels, shipping labels and warehouse documentation without returning to a fixed printing station.
Mobile printing improves efficiency and reduces handling errors.
What are the advantages of mobile warehouse printing?
Mobile printing allows labels to be generated exactly where goods are being handled. This reduces unnecessary travel within the warehouse, improves productivity and ensures labels are applied immediately to the correct items.
It is particularly useful in large distribution centres where operators may travel long distances between work areas.
Can the logiJET TM4 be installed on forklift trucks?
Yes. The printer can be mounted on forklift trucks using an optional mounting plate. The mounting system includes vibration dampers that protect the printer from shocks and impacts caused by vehicle movement.
A quick-release mechanism allows the printer to be removed easily for servicing or maintenance.
Can the printer run from forklift power?
Yes. The logiJET TM4 supports multiple DC power inputs including 12V, 24V and 48V. This allows the printer to operate directly from forklift truck power systems or other industrial vehicles.
Can the printer also be used at fixed workstations?
Yes. In addition to DC vehicle power, the printer can operate using a standard AC power supply. This allows it to be used at packing stations or workbenches when required.
What printing technologies does the logiJET TM4 support?
The printer supports both thermal transfer printing and direct thermal printing, allowing organisations to choose the most appropriate printing method for their label materials and application requirements.
