GoDEX G530 Barcode Label Printer in Mersch

Description:

The GoDEX G530 is a mid-range thermal transfer and direct thermal barcode label printer. It's well-suited for retail and industrial applications due to its ability to handle various specialty labels with its "Twin-Sensor Technology." With a print speed of 4 inches per second and a resolution of 300 dpi, it balances performance and affordability. The G530 can accommodate labels up to 4.16 inches wide and features a maximum ribbon length of 300 meters for less frequent changes.

Features:

Printing Performance:

• Printing Method: Utilizes 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 suitable for labels on products, pallets, or large items in harsh environments or industrial settings.
• Print Resolution: Likely offers both 203 dpi (dots per inch) for good readability and speed, and 300 dpi for high-resolution printing of intricate barcodes, graphics, or small fonts. This caters to applications with varying needs for balance between speed and detail.
• Print Speed: Speeds might range from 6 to 8 inches per second (ips), ensuring efficient printing for high-volume tasks. The exact speed may vary depending on the chosen resolution (300 dpi typically being slower).
• Maximum Print Width: Accommodates labels up to 4.23 inches (107 millimeters) wide, with the potential for wider printing capabilities (up to 6 inches) on some models for specific applications.

Media Handling and Usability:

• Industrial Design: Likely features a robust construction with a full metal casing, built for reliable operation in harsh industrial environments and demanding printing jobs.
• Extra-Large Media Capacity: Holds a significant amount of media, reducing media changes and increasing productivity (exact capacity may vary depending on media roll size).
• Automatic Media Sensors: Sensors automatically detect label gaps, media presence, and ribbon tear for smooth operation and timely identification of potential issues.
• User-Friendly Design: Likely features an easy-open clamshell or top-feed design for simplified media loading, even for large media rolls.

Connectivity and User Experience:

• Multiple Interface Options: Likely 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.
• Enhanced User Interface: The "530" in the model name might indicate an improved user experience. This could include a larger or higher-resolution LCD display and a more intuitive keypad for easier configuration and operation.
• Emulation Capabilities: Likely supports 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 unknown) 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 the wear and tear of heavy-duty printing environments.
• Optional Features (potentially including some or all from the G500 series):
  • Linerless label compatibility (reducing waste and label costs).
  • Cutter mechanism for automatic label separation after printing (improving workflow efficiency).
  • Peel-off mechanism for automatic label removal after printing (improving workflow efficiency).
  • Ribbon rewind/retake functionality for better management of ribbons, especially for larger or specialized ribbons.
  • Security functionalities like password protection or encryption to safeguard sensitive printing data.
