mC-Label3 Multifunction Label Printer
The Star Micronics mC-Label3 is a multifunction label printer that supports linerless labels, die-cut labels, continuous labels, and receipts from a single device. Print barcode labels, food safety labels, restaurant and QSR labels, product labels, and receipts using multiple media widths and types. Cloud Ready and compatible with Star Micronics Cloud Services and Label Builder, the mC-Label3 supports One Touch Label printing, CloudPRNT™, SteadyLAN®, and TetherLAN technologies. Connect to iOS, Android, and Windows devices, while the CWBi model offers USB-C, Ethernet, WLAN, and Bluetooth connectivity in a single printer.
The mC-Label3 supports multiple labeling and printing workflows with a single device. Print repositionable and permanent linerless labels, die-cut labels, continuous labels, and receipts for food labeling, order fulfillment, inventory management, shipping, and point-of-sale operations. Support for multiple media widths enables everything from small barcode labels to larger product and shipping labels. The front multi-function button provides one-touch access to stored label templates and images through Star Cloud Services for fast, consistent printing.
Store up to three label or receipt templates directly on the mC-Label3 and print them with the press of a button. Quickly produce food safety labels, barcode labels, inventory labels, and product labels without a POS system, tablet, or PC. Templates remain stored on the printer, enabling label printing even without an internet connection.
Designed for busy labeling environments, the mC-Label3 simplifies printer maintenance with automatic maintenance alerts, color-coded components, and a tool-free design. When cleaning or service is required, the printer can generate a QR code that links directly to step-by-step maintenance instructions, helping staff perform routine upkeep quickly and confidently. The result is faster maintenance, reduced downtime, and reliable label printing performance day after day.
The mC-Label3 CWBi model supports USB-C, Ethernet, WLAN, and Bluetooth connectivity in a single device. SteadyLAN® provides network connectivity to connected Android and Windows devices, while TetherLAN allows a 4G or 5G mobile device to share its network connection with the printer. Combined with CloudPRNT™, the mC-Label3 supports cloud-based label and receipt printing for retail, restaurant, and mobile POS environments.
