Brother PJ-823 A4 Mobile Printer (PJ823Z1)

The Brother PJ-823 is a compact A4 mobile thermal printer from Brother's PJ-800 series for full-page documents on the go – delivery notes, invoices, service reports, contracts and forms – without ink, toner or ribbons. Measuring just 255 × 55 × 30 mm and weighing 480 g, it prints on A4, A5, Letter and Legal cut sheets as well as roll, perforated and fan-fold paper at up to 13.5 pages per minute, uses USB Type-C for data and charging, and supports Raster, ESC/P, P-touch Template and ZPL II emulation. It runs on the optional Li-ion battery (about 600 A4 pages per charge) or an AC or car adapter, and accessories from the PJ-700 series, including the battery, remain compatible. This version, PJ823Z1, is the 300 dpi model with USB Type-C and a simple two-button panel – sharper small text, logos and barcodes when printing from laptops and in-vehicle computers.

Key Features

• Full-page A4 printing anywhere – A4, A5, Letter and Legal cut sheets plus roll, perforated roll and fan-fold paper, with a 203.2 mm print width.
• No ink, toner or ribbons – with direct thermal printing, thermal paper is the only consumable, so there are no cartridges to run out in the field.
• 300 dpi at up to 13.5 pages per minute – sharp small text, logos and barcodes for contracts, invoices and reports.
• USB Type-C for data and charging – a single cable connects the printer to laptops, tablets and in-vehicle computers; drivers for Windows, macOS and Linux.
• Pocket-sized and light – just 255 × 55 × 30 mm and 480 g (610 g with battery), small enough for a laptop bag or a vehicle mount (PA-CM-500).
• Flexible power – the optional 1,750 mAh Li-ion battery (PA-BT-002) prints about 600 A4 pages per charge and recharges in about 2 hours via AC adapter, USB-C adapter or car adapter.
• Easy upgrade from the PJ-700 – PJ-700 series accessories, including the battery, remain compatible; Raster, ESC/P, P-touch Template and ZPL II emulation, 256 MB of RAM and free SDKs simplify integration.
