TSC Alpha-2R
Print receipts and tickets on demand with the two-inch TSC Alpha-2R mobile printer. It is TSC’s smallest and most affordable mobile receipt printer, with essential features and a broad range of accessories.
The Alpha-2R is the third printer in TSC’s affordable, rugged Alpha mobile range, now offering two-, three- and four-inch printers. Light and easy to carry, it suits mobile applications requiring quick receipts or tickets.
The Alpha-2R delivers more without sacrificing functionality or performance.
Designed for demanding environments, the standard Alpha-2R has an IP42 rating; an optional protective case raises dust and water protection to IP54.
Compact and lightweight, it can be carried comfortably throughout a shift. USB 2.0, RS-232, Bluetooth 4.0, Bluetooth 4.2 with Apple MFi, NFC and 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless options connect laptops or smartphones for readable receipts and labels throughout the day.
NFC simplifies direct pairing with compatible devices. This short-range wireless technology establishes a connection between an NFC-enabled phone or tablet and the Alpha-2R for printing or scanning without network access or sign-in.
