Label printer Star Micronics MCL32CBI BK E+U Direct thermal 180 mm/sec Wired Wireless

The Star Micronics MCL32CBI BK E+U is a direct thermal label printer that supports linerless and traditional die-cut labels with adjustable widths from 25 mm to 80 mm and a maximum print speed of 180 mm/sec. It prints high-quality text, graphics and barcodes without ink or ribbon changes and offers multiple connectivity options for PC, mobile and cloud-based systems.

Advantages

The MCL32CBI provides versatile media compatibility including low-adhesive re-stick labels, high-adhesive permanent and semi-permanent linerless labels, continuous label rolls and receipt paper. It includes adjustable paper-width detectors, status LEDs and a paper-taken sensor to prevent multiple labels being issued before the previous label is removed. Integrated CloudPRNT and Star Cloud Services enable template storage and one-touch label printing. Connectivity options include USB-C, Ethernet LAN and Bluetooth (Apple MFi-certified on the MCL32CBI); WLAN is available via an optional adapter. The device requires no ink or ribbons and supports fast, reliable direct thermal printing.

Connect the printer to a host device via USB-C, Ethernet or Bluetooth, or enable WLAN using the optional adapter. Use the Star Cloud Services or CloudPRNT-enabled software to design and store label templates, then print directly from PC, tablet, mobile or cloud applications. The paper-taken sensor prevents multiple labels from dispensing before the previous label is removed.

Recommendations

Use recommended linerless or die-cut media within the specified width range (25–80 mm) and store labels in a cool, dry environment. For iOS devices choose the MCL32CBI model to ensure Apple MFi Bluetooth compatibility. For networked or cloud printing, verify CloudPRNT settings and firmware are up to date.
