Features:

Printing Performance:

• Printing Method: Primarily focuses on thermal transfer printing, employing a ribbon to transfer ink onto the label for maximum durability and resistance to chemicals, moisture, or abrasion. This makes it ideal for labels on products, assets, or items in harsh environments or requiring long lifespans.
• 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 4.1 inches (104 millimeters) wide, offering flexibility for various label sizes.

Enhanced Durability Features:

• Metal Construction: Features a robust, full-metal chassis for reliable operation in harsh industrial environments and continuous printing jobs.
• High-Durability Printhead: The printhead may be specifically designed to withstand the use of ribbons with tougher materials for extra resistance in harsh conditions.
• Optional Features:
  • High-Temperature Ribbon Compatibility: Some models may support ribbons designed for higher operating temperatures, allowing use in environments with extreme heat.
  • Specialty Media Compatibility: Compatibility with specific label materials like chemical-resistant or tamper-evident labels may be available on some models.

Media Handling and Usability:

• Industrial Design: Shares the core design principles of the CL-S700 series, emphasizing reliable operation in demanding settings.
• 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, crucial for 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: A built-in peel-off mechanism for automatic label separation after printing, improving workflow efficiency.

Connectivity and User Experience:

• Multiple Interface Options: Provides connection flexibility with Ethernet, USB device, and RS-232 interfaces 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 buttons for basic operations (feed, pause/cancel). An LCD display and keypad may be included for enhanced user interaction and configuration.
• Emulation Capabilities (on some models): May support various printer language emulations (potentially including Datamax® I-Class™, DMX400™, Zebra® ZPL-II®) for compatibility with existing barcode label design software programs.

Additional Features:

• Memory: Equipped with memory (capacity varies depending on the model) 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.
• Optional Features:
  • Linerless label compatibility (reducing waste and label costs).
  • Security functionalities like password protection or encryption to safeguard sensitive printing data.
