Thank you very much for purchasing TSC bar code printer.

Enjoy TSC’s reputation for cost-efficient, high durability printers with the Alpha-3R

economical receipt printer. The Alpha-3R is a comfortable, light-weight printer capable

of working with any mobile receipt printing application where you need quick, simple

receipts on demand. Our Alpha-3R is designed for a rough life, inside the IP54-rated

environmental case to resist dust and water and with its rubber over-mold design

prepared to take up to a five foot fall and keep printing.

These small and light printers can be worn comfortably for a full shift, without interfering

with the user’s tasks. Use USB, or optional 802.11 b/g/n Wireless or Serial to connect

to a mobile computer or even a smart phone and produce clear easy-to-read receipts

hour after hour.
