Brady BMP61 Scan to Print — How It Works
Brady's Scan to Print feature lets operators scan an existing barcode — from a wire, panel, or component — and the BMP61 automatically generates and prints a matching identification label. This eliminates manual data entry errors and significantly speeds up labeling workflows in electrical panel building, wire marking, and asset tagging.
