Frequently Asked Questions
Does the BMP51 come with Wi-Fi built in?
Wi-Fi and Ethernet are optional add-ons for the BMP51 — they are not included standard. The printer ships with USB connectivity. Contact MTE Solutions for optional wireless module availability.
What label materials are compatible with the BMP51?
The BMP51 supports 190+ Brady label stock types including vinyl, polyester, nylon, heat-shrink tubing, and self-laminating labels. Brady M-series and MC-series cartridges up to 1.5" wide are compatible.
What power options does the BMP51 support?
The BMP51 can run on AC power (adapter included), the included Li-Ion rechargeable battery pack, or 8 AA batteries (not included) — making it suitable for both desk use and field applications without power access.
How does the BMP51 compare to the BMP71?
The BMP71 supports wider labels (up to 4") and more advanced software features, making it better suited for larger format industrial labeling. The BMP51 is more compact and portable, ideal for wire, cable, and panel labeling where label width up to 1.5" is sufficient.
