Brother TD-2135NWB 2-inch Direct Thermal Desktop Label Printer, 300 dpi, USB, LAN, Wi-Fi & Bluetooth, Black

The Brother TD-2135NWB is a 2-inch desktop label printer that prints by direct thermal at 300 dpi and up to 152 mm/s (6 ips), made for product, price and small shelf labels, specimen and asset labels, and narrow receipts up to about 60 mm wide.

It connects over USB 2.0, USB Host, Ethernet 10/100, Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.2, RS-232C (optional adapter). ZPL II emulation lets it print Zebra-format labels, and AirPrint support means iPhones, iPads and Macs can print without extra drivers. It is a compact, single-user or workgroup printer for counters, packing benches, back offices and small warehouses rather than a 24/7 industrial line printer.

In practice it sits between a PC or POS terminal and a roll of labels: you design labels in label software such as BarTender, or print them straight from your ERP, WMS, e-shop back office or courier portal. Label size, gap and darkness are set once in the driver or by a quick media calibration, and after that every print lands in the same place on the label.

• Brother TD-2135NWB printer
• AC adapter and power cord
• USB cable
• Printed setup guide
• No labels — media is ordered separately

• Labels from up to 63 mm wide on rolls up to 127 mm (drop-in, no spindle) outside diameter — typical 25 to 58 mm product labels and 58 mm receipt rolls fit; 100 mm shipping labels do not.
• At up to 152 mm/s (6 ips) a 50 mm long label prints in roughly 0.3 seconds, so batches of a few hundred labels are a matter of minutes.
• On the network (Ethernet or Wi-Fi) several PCs can print to it, so one printer can serve a packing bench or an office.
• No ribbon to buy or change: running cost is the labels only, and loading a new roll takes seconds.
• Drop-in media loading: the roll simply drops into the printer without a spindle, so changing labels takes seconds even for occasional users.

• Media wider than 63 mm or rolls larger than 127 mm (drop-in, no spindle) outside diameter.
• Ribbons and thermal transfer-only labels — this model has no ribbon mechanism.
• Colour printing, photos or ordinary A4 office printing — it prints one colour (black) on label media.
• A screen out of the box — status is shown by LEDs; the touch-panel display is an optional add-on.
