Frequently Asked Questions: Brady BMP61 Industrial Handheld Printer (Discontinued)

Q: How does the Smart-Cell RFID technology work in BMP61?

Brady cartridges contain an embedded RFID microchip that automatically communicates label dimensions, material type, remaining quantity, and recommended printhead burn temperature to the printer. This enables zero calibration waste—the first label printed is 100% perfectly aligned.

Q: Can I print heat-shrink wire sleeves (B-342) on this printer?

Yes, as long as the sleeve size fits within the maximum print width (2.0" (50.8 mm)). Portable models like the M210 use drop-in M21- series PermaSleeve cartridges, while high-volume benchtops (i3300, i7100) support roll-fed 3:1 sleeves up to 1.5" diameter.
