Toshiba B-SX5T

With over 20 years experience in producing barcode label printers the TOSHIBA B-SX4 and B-SX5 thermal transfer/direct thermal industrial printers provide world leading innovation and reliability. Built with the future in mind, the "RFID Ready" B-SX printers take the barcode label printer to the next level. Ideal for use in all heavy-duty industries including chemicals, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, textiles, electronics and telecom.

Speed

High-speed printing is of course the norm. But the overall throughput is enhanced by a fast 32 bit RISC CPU (SH-3 88 MHz), 8/16 MB DRAM image buffer, and 4 MB Flash Memory for programs and large data file storage.

Ease of use

Access to print head, platen, paper path and sensors is made quick and easy by the wide opening mechanism.

A CD-ROM is provided with the printer that includes the Owners manual, technical manuals, BarTender UltraLite label printing software and Windows drivers - which all make the user's life easier.

High print quality

TOSHIBA's very own print heads - 203 dpi on the B-SX4 and 306 dpi on the B-SX5 - make these machines unique in the market. Innovations include high-precision heat history control in 7 stages, a new hyper heater mechanism and improved alpha protection layer. The superb clarity is further enhanced by the new linear torque control of the TOSHIBA TEC double ribbon motor system. The on-the-fly ribbon save function allows ribbons to be saved without a detrimental effect on throughput (an option on the B-SX4). The TOSHIBA print heads also extend the print head life (100 km life time).

Reliability

A field-proven heavy-duty steel cabinet and a robust inner mechanism combine to ensure the incredible reliability of the B-SX4 and B-SX5. Several technological advances mean more performance and functionalities at a competitive price.

Full compatibility

Software and supplies are compatible with TOSHIBA TEC's previous models - the B-X printer range produced under the TEC brand.

Enhanced Features

The enhanced functions offer many advantages including:

• Remote printing and technical support
• Less costly software integration thanks to standardized XML data exchange
• Remote label format installation and updating (web print spooling)
• Notification of errors and events
• Data manipulation and processing using the BC

Basic Command Interpreter

The BCI can run Basic programs allowing the manipulation of incoming print data to generate the correct label formats. This allows the printer to be connected to existing legacy systems eliminating the need for costly software changes. The BCI can also communicate with external devices allowing the easy integration of other technology systems.
