4-Inch Mobile Printing

The RJ-4235B is designed for mobile applications requiring wider labels and receipts than conventional 2-inch or 3-inch portable printers.

Its maximum print width is:

104 mm

This makes the printer suitable for many compatible 4-inch-class mobile applications including:

• Shipping labels
• Warehouse labels
• Delivery labels
• Inventory labels
• Product labels
• Mobile receipts
• Service documentation
• Transportation labels
• Field identification labels

Direct Thermal Printing

The RJ-4235B uses:

Direct Thermal Printing

Compatible heat-sensitive media is printed without requiring:

• Ink
• Toner
• Thermal-transfer ribbon

This can simplify consumables management for mobile workforces.

Compatible direct thermal media is required.

203 dpi Print Resolution

The RJ-4235B provides:

203 dpi

This resolution is suitable for many mobile applications involving:

• Text
• Numbers
• 1D barcodes
• 2D barcodes
• QR Codes
• Graphics
• Product information
• Shipping information
• Tracking references

Print quality and barcode readability depend on media quality, print settings, barcode dimensions and environmental conditions.

Up to 127 mm/s Printing

The RJ-4235B can print at speeds up to:

127 mm/s / 5 inches per second

under applicable Brother test conditions.

Fast mobile printing can help workers generate labels or receipts directly at the point of activity rather than returning to a stationary printer.

Maximum Print Width

Maximum Print Width: 104 mm

This provides sufficient printing area for many logistics, warehouse, transportation and field-service label applications.

Bluetooth Connectivity

The Brother RJ-4235B provides Bluetooth wireless connectivity for compatible mobile devices.

This can support mobile printing from suitable:

• Handheld computers
• Smartphones
• Tablets
• Mobile terminals
• Business devices

The refreshed RJ-4235B platform uses Bluetooth Dual Mode, supporting mobile workflows without requiring the printer to join a Wi-Fi network.

Compatibility depends on the host device, operating system, business application and Bluetooth implementation.

USB Type-C

The RJ-4235B also provides:

USB Type-C

USB-C provides a modern wired connectivity and charging option for applicable deployments.

This can simplify charging and data connectivity compared with older proprietary or legacy USB connections.

The exact charging method and required power accessory should be confirmed according to the intended deployment.

Important Wi-Fi Clarification

The Brother RJ-4235B does not provide Wi-Fi connectivity.

Its primary communication options are:

• Bluetooth
• USB Type-C

If the deployment requires the mobile printer to connect directly to a wireless LAN, consider the:

Brother RuggedJet RJ-4255WB

The RJ-4255WB adds Wi-Fi capability while retaining Bluetooth and USB connectivity.

Rugged Construction

The RuggedJet RJ-4235B is designed for demanding mobile environments where equipment can experience greater physical stress than a conventional desktop printer.

Brother specifies:

IP54 Protection

and drop resistance from approximately:

2.1 metres / 6.9 feet

under applicable controlled test conditions.

This makes the printer suitable for mobile workers operating in environments such as:

• Warehouses
• Distribution centres
• Delivery vehicles
• Logistics facilities
• Retail stockrooms
• Field-service operations

These ratings should not be interpreted as meaning the printer is waterproof or indestructible.

IP54 Protection

The RJ-4235B is specified with:

IP54

protection.

This provides defined resistance against dust ingress and splashing water under the applicable IP test conditions.

IP54 does not mean the printer can be submerged in water.

Drop Resistance

Brother specifies drop resistance of up to approximately:

2.1 metres / 6.9 feet

under controlled test conditions.

Actual resistance to damage can depend on:

• Impact surface
• Drop angle
• Printer condition
• Installed accessories
• Repeated impacts
• Environmental conditions

Rechargeable Smart Li-ion Battery

The RJ-4235B supports Brother's rechargeable Smart Li-ion battery system for mobile operation.

The smart battery platform provides battery-status information that can help mobile workers manage charging requirements during daily use.

Battery performance depends on:

• Print volume
• Print coverage
• Bluetooth usage
• Temperature
• Battery age
• Media
• Printer settings
• Charging history

The exact battery supplied with a particular configuration should be confirmed before ordering.

Docking & Charging Options

Applicable RJ-4235B configurations can support Brother docking and charging solutions.

Depending on the exact printer package and deployment, options can include:

• Charging conductor plate
• Compatible docking stations
• In-vehicle charging
• Workspace charging
• Battery charging solutions
• DC vehicle adapter

These accessories can be useful for fleets where printers are returned to a vehicle or workstation for charging.

They should not be assumed to be included with every RJ-4235B configuration.

Carrying & Mounting Accessories

Brother offers optional mobility accessories for compatible deployments.

These can include:

• Belt clips
• Shoulder straps
• Carrying solutions
• Mounting solutions
• Vehicle mounting accessories
• Charging docks
• Battery chargers
• Vehicle power accessories

The required accessories should be selected according to how the printer will be carried, mounted and charged.

RJ-4235B vs RJ-4255WB

The most important difference between these two Brother RuggedJet models is connectivity.

Brother RJ-4235B

Designed for applications requiring:

• Bluetooth
• USB Type-C
• Rugged mobile printing

Wi-Fi: No

Brother RJ-4255WB

Designed for applications requiring:

• Wi-Fi
• Bluetooth
• USB connectivity
• Rugged mobile printing

Wi-Fi: Yes

Choose the RJ-4235B where Bluetooth and USB-C are sufficient.

Choose the RJ-4255WB where direct wireless LAN connectivity is required.

Buyer Guidance

The RJ-4235B is a strong option where the mobile worker prints directly from a Bluetooth-connected handheld device, smartphone or tablet and does not need the printer itself connected to the organization's Wi-Fi network.

Before purchasing, identify:

• What device will send the print job?
• Is Bluetooth sufficient?
• Is Wi-Fi required?
• What label width is needed?
• What media will be used?
• How will the printer be charged?
• Will it be carried or vehicle-mounted?
• Is a docking station required?

These questions can help avoid purchasing unnecessary connectivity or missing required accessories.

Things to Verify Before Ordering

Please confirm:

• Exact model: Brother RJ-4235B
• Required quantity
• Label or receipt application
• Required media width
• Host device
• Operating system
• Bluetooth compatibility
• USB-C requirement
• Business application
• Barcode requirements
• Battery requirement
• Charging method
• Docking requirement
• Vehicle charging requirement
• Carrying or mounting accessories
• Current availability
• Applicable warranty

If Wi-Fi is required, specify this before ordering because the RJ-4235B is a Bluetooth/USB-C model rather than a Wi-Fi model.

Compatibility

Mobile-printer compatibility depends on the complete system.

Before deployment, verify compatibility between:

• Brother RJ-4235B
• Host device
• Operating system
• Business application
• Bluetooth implementation
• Printer commands
• Label design
• Media dimensions
• Barcode requirements
• Charging accessories

For larger deployments, testing the exact printer, media, host device and application combination before rollout is recommended.
