Description:

The CAB Squix4 is a versatile industrial label printer ideal for a wide range of applications. Available in two print resolution options, 300 dpi and 600 dpi, it delivers high-quality printing for everything from basic text labels to intricate graphics and barcodes. With a maximum print width of over 100 millimeters, it accommodates a variety of label sizes. The Squix4 is built tough with a durable design and offers optional features like a built-in cutter and peeler for streamlined label handling. It boasts user-friendly operation, allowing connection to a PC or even standalone operation with peripherals for maximum flexibility.

Features:

Printing Performance:

• Printing Method: Primarily utilizes thermal transfer printing, employing a ribbon to transfer ink onto the label for maximum durability and resistance to chemicals, moisture, or abrasion. Ideal for labels on products, assets, or items in harsh environments or requiring long lifespans. Some models may also offer direct thermal printing as an option for paper labels that don't require extreme durability.
• Print Resolution: Offers options of 203 dpi (dots per inch) or 300 dpi, allowing you to choose between a balance of speed and readability or higher resolution for intricate details in barcodes or graphics.
• Print Speed: Delivers labels at a rate of up to 5 inches per second (ips), maintaining efficient printing for moderate to high-volume tasks.
• Maximum Print Width: Accommodates labels up to 4.56 inches (116 millimeters) wide, ideal for printing wider labels often used in industrial applications.

Media Handling and Usability:

• Industrial Design: Features a robust metal construction for reliable operation in harsh industrial environments and continuous printing jobs.
• Large Media Capacity: Holds a significant amount of media, reducing media changes and increasing productivity (exact capacity may vary depending on media roll size).
• Center-Aligned Print Head (Key Feature): Ensures consistent and even pressure distribution across the entire width of the label, regardless of media width. This is crucial for maintaining high-quality printing on wide or thick labels.
• Automatic Media Sensors: Sensors automatically detect label gaps, media presence, and ribbon tear for smooth operation and timely identification of potential issues.
• Optional Peel-off Feature (on some models): A built-in peel-off mechanism for automatic label separation after printing, improving workflow efficiency.

Connectivity and User Experience:

• Multiple Interface Options (depending on model): Provides connection flexibility with interfaces like Ethernet, USB device, and RS-232 for wired connections to integrate with networks or computers. Some models may include additional options like parallel ports.
• Standard Controls: Includes LED indicators for status monitoring (power, printing, errors) and a feed button for manual label feeding if needed. An LCD display and keypad may be included on some models for enhanced user interaction and configuration.

Additional Features (may vary by model):

• Memory: Equipped with memory for buffer storage of fonts, graphics, and formats used for printing.
• Software Compatibility: Likely supports a variety of barcode label design software programs for creating and managing your labels.
• Durability: Built to withstand demanding industrial printing environments.
• Optional Features: Linerless label compatibility (reducing waste and label costs), security functionalities like password protection or encryption for sensitive printing data.

Model Variations (consider these as possibilities):

• CAB SQUIX 4 M: Focuses on wide or thick label printing with its center-aligned print head.
• CAB SQUIX 4 MT: Offers both thermal transfer and potentially direct thermal printing capabilities.
