The BIXOLON XL5-43CT (XL5-43CTOBG/BEG) is a 4-inch direct-thermal desktop label printer built for linerless labels – no backing paper, no liner waste and up to 40% more labels per roll. It prints at 300 dpi and up to 127 mm/s (5 ips), cuts every label cleanly with its full-width guillotine cutter, and its label-taken sensor waits until the previous label has been removed before printing the next. Rolls up to 127 mm on 1.5" or 1" cores fit inside, standard linered labels and fan-fold media are supported too, and BPL-Z™/BPL-E™ emulation speaks ZPL II and EPL. It connects via USB and a USB host port plus Bluetooth 4.2 (Classic + LE, MFi) and has a 200 × 100 pixel LCD with menu buttons. Power adapter, EU power cord and USB cable are included – ready to print.
