TEC

b-sx4 RFId printer

The new TOSHIBA TEC B-SX4 & B-SX5 thermal transfer / direct thermal printers extend the tradition of technical innovation of the TOSHIBA TEC high-class industrial printers. Built to succeed the very popular B-472 and B-572 machines, they provide superior performance and reliability in a variety of industries including manufacturing, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, textiles, electronics & telecoms.

Improved ease-of-use as well as a very low total cost of ownership make these the ideal choice as flexible industrial printers.

Suitable Applications

Auto Industry
Chemical Industry
Pharmaceutical Industry
Textile Industry
Electronic Industry
Telecommunication
Food Sector
Retail Distribution
Transport and Logistics
Healthcare
Utilities
Government

Speed

Maintaining the high speed printing of its predecessors, 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 printhead, platen, paper path and sensors is improved by the development of a new wide opening mechanism.

High print quality

Fitted with TOSHIBA’s very own printheads - 203 dpi on the B-SX4 and 306 dpi on the B-SX5 - makes these machines unique in the market. Innovations provided by the use of these printheads include high-precision heat history control in 7 stages, a new hyperheater mechanism and improved alpha protection layer. The superb clarity of these printheads is further enhanced by the new linear torque control of the TOSHIBA TEC double ribbon motor system. The new on-the-fly ribbon saving function allows ribbons to be saved without a detrimental effect on throughput (an option on the B-SX4).

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 on the new B-SX4/SX5 printers. The new TOSHIBA printheads give a much greater printhead life (3 million inch/76 km life time).

Easy connectivity

The B-SX4/SX5 printers have an array of interface options:

Standard
1 external RS232C port, 1 internal RS232 port for RFID
ECP Parallel port (Centronics)
Optional
Expansion I/O
USB v1.1 port
Built-in LAN board 10/100 Base
2-slots PCMCIA interface board
Wireless LAN 802.11b card
RFID

Full compatibility

Software and supplies are compatible with TOSHIBA TEC’ s previous models - the B-X72 & B-X82 printer ranges.

Enhanced features: Internet, E-mail, FTP, XML and BCI.

Advantages include: remote printing, updating (web print spooling), efficient notification of errors and events, remote technical support, data manipulation and processing using the BCI

FTP - The FTP server enables files to be transferred to the printer via the Internet using File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
Internet - B-SX printers have in-built Internet servers allowing you to remotely update printer firmware, view printer status and maintenance counters, edit parameter settings and of course print labels by sending files or filling in Internet-based forms.
XML - XML documents can be received and linked to the correct label formats by the printer automatically.
E-mail capacity - The printer can receive e-mails to print labels and reply when the print job is completed. It will also send any error messages to nominated people.
Basic Command Interpreter (BCI) - 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.
