Speed, Ease of use, High Print Quality, Reliability

The B-SX4 and B-SX5 combine ease-of-use with a very low total cost of ownership making them the ideal choice of ﬂexible industrial printers.

B-SX4 & B-SX5

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

RFID

RFID Technology satisfies the growing requirements of supply chain management. Data, text, barcodes and graphics can still be printed on labels in the usual way, but at the same time, complementary information is stored on integrated circuits utilizing radio frequency, ready for future reading or editing as required. In fact, these printers treat the addition of RFID data as just another barcode. So, for the user or programmer, no knowledge of RFID is necessary. Just send the data as part of a label format and the printer does the rest.

printer that includes the Owners Manual in several languages, technical manuals (Programming, Supply, etc.), BarTender TEC 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 provided by the use of these print heads include high-precision, heat- history control in 7 stages, a new hyper-heater mechanism and improved alpha protection layer.

The superb clarity of these print heads is further enhanced by the new linear torque control of the TOSHIBA 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 lifetime).

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’s previous models - the B-X printer range produced under the TEC Brand.

Enhanced Features

Internet, E-mail, FTP, SML, RFID and BCI

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)

•efficient notification of errors and events

•data manipulation and processing using the BCI

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.

Easy connectivity

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

Standard	Optional
1 External RS232C port	Expansion I/O
1 Internal RS232 port
for RFID

EPC parallel port	USB v1.1 port
(Centronics)

	Built-in LAN board 10/100 Base

	2-slots PCMCIA interface board

	Wireless LAN 802.11b card

	RFID Enabled

UHG 869.5

The B-9704-U1-QP option enables the printer to encode chips at 869.5 MHz. Current supported chips are EPC Class 0, Clas 1 and ISO-18000-6-B. EPC Class 0+, GEN2 will be available in the near future.
