The BIXOLON XD3-40tEK/BEG is a professional 4-inch (118mm) desktop label printer that combines the durability of thermal transfer printing with comprehensive wired connectivity. Designed for UK businesses requiring long-lasting labels for shipping, asset tracking, or manufacturing, this "EK" variant features a triple interface—USB, Serial, and Ethernet—as standard for seamless network integration.

With its robust clamshell design and support for large ribbon capacities, it is a highly efficient solution for mid-volume labelling tasks.

Key Features

  • Thermal Transfer & Direct Thermal: Supports both ribbon-based printing for durable labels and ribbon-free direct thermal printing for short-term use.

  • Triple Interface Connectivity: Includes USB 2.0, RS232 (Serial), and Ethernet (LAN) ports, providing flexible options for standalone or networked setups.

  • High-Capacity Ribbon Support: Accommodates both 0.5-inch and 1-inch core ribbons with lengths from 74m up to 300m, reducing the frequency of media changes.

  • Fast & Reliable: Delivers a crisp 203 dpi resolution at print speeds of up to 127mm/sec (5 ips).

  • Smart Language Detection: Features "Smart Switch" technology that automatically recognizes and toggles between programming languages such as SLCS, BPL-Z™ (ZPLII), and BPL-E™ (EPL).
