Description:

The X-2300 is a high-performance, flexible, and easy-to-use industrial barcode printer.
The durable X-2300 features direct thermal/thermal transfer printing with 203dpi print resolution, up to 6ips printing speed, and for heavy duty labelling demand. A 32-bit CPU, 8MB Flash and 16MB SDRAM onboard memory assure high quality printing. Communication interfaces include parallel port, RS-232, USB, PS/2 keyboard and Ethernet(optional) for easy connectivity. An SNMP trap function allows the monitoring of network attached devices in real-time. The X-2300's standard PS/2 interface connects an input device such as a keyboard or scanner for stand-alone operation.
The multilingual LCD offers easy installation and operation, and a built-in RTC lets you print times on labels. 

Features:

Printing Performance:

• Printing Method: Supports both direct thermal and thermal transfer printing methods:
  • Direct thermal uses heat to activate a special coating on the label, suitable for paper labels that don't require extreme durability.
  • Thermal transfer utilizes a ribbon to transfer ink onto the label, producing more durable prints for applications like plastic, fabric, or weather-resistant labels.
• Print Resolution: Offers a good resolution of 203 dpi (dots per inch), providing a balance between print speed and readability for most applications.
• Print Speed: Delivers labels at a rate of up to 6 inches per second (ips), ensuring efficient printing for high-volume tasks.
• Maximum Print Width: Accommodates labels up to 6.0 inches (152.4 millimeters) wide, ideal for larger labels with significant data or complex graphics.

Media Handling and Usability:

• Durable Construction: The X-2300 boasts a robust metal housing for reliable operation in industrial environments and continuous printing.
• Large Media Capacity: Handles up to 300 meters of media, minimizing media changes and downtime.
• Adjustable Media Sensors: Includes both reflective and transmissive sensors for automatic media detection and adjustment, ensuring accurate printing on various media types and thicknesses.
• User-Friendly Design: Features a clamshell design for effortless media loading and a peel-off bar for easy label removal.

Connectivity and User Experience:

• Multiple Interface Options: Provides connection flexibility with Ethernet (optional), parallel port, RS-232, USB device, and PS/2 keyboard for wired connections. This allows for integration into wired networks, direct computer connections, or even connecting an external keyboard for added functionality.
• Standard Controls: Includes LED indicators for status monitoring (power, printing, errors) and a feed button for manual label feeding if needed. An LCD screen may be included on some models for enhanced user interaction.

Additional Features:

• Memory: Equipped with 8MB Flash ROM and 16MB SDRAM memory for buffer storage of fonts, graphics, and formats used for printing.
• Real-Time Clock (RTC): Allows you to print timestamps directly on labels for better record-keeping.
• SNMP Trap Function: Enables real-time monitoring of network-attached devices for proactive management.
• Ribbon Handling: Features efficient ribbon rewind/feeding mechanisms to optimize the use of thermal transfer ribbons.
• Media Calibration Function: Ensures consistent and precise printing quality by automatically calibrating the print head for different media types.
• Emulations: Supports various printer language emulations (PPLA/PPLB/PPLZ) for compatibility with existing printing software.
