GoDEX GE330 Barcode Label Printer in Kilkenny

Description:

The GoDEX GE330 is a budget-friendly thermal transfer and direct thermal printer ideal for light to medium duty tasks. It offers both wired (Ethernet, Serial) and wireless (optional Bluetooth and Wi-Fi) connectivity for flexibility. With a print speed of up to 5 inches per second and a 300 dpi resolution, it delivers good value for basic barcode label printing. It uses standard, cost-effective labels and ribbons, making it a high-volume printing option.

Features:

Printing Performance:

• Printing Method: Likely 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, assets, or items in harsh environments or requiring long lifespans.

• Print Resolution: There could be two possibilities:

  • 203 dpi (dots per inch): A common resolution offering a good balance between print speed and readability for most industrial applications with text-based labels and basic barcodes.
  • 300 dpi (potentially available on the GE330): This would cater to applications requiring sharper details in barcodes, graphics, or small fonts.

• Print Speed: Speeds might range from 5 to 6 inches per second (ips), ensuring efficient printing for moderate to 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, offering flexibility for various label sizes commonly used in industrial settings.

Media Handling and Usability:

• Industrial Design: Likely features a robust construction with a metal casing, built 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).
• 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: Depending on the model, it might feature an easy-open clamshell or top-feed design for simplified media loading.

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 on some models 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.

Enhanced or Extended Features (potential additions to the G300 series):

• Memory: Equipped with potentially larger memory capacity compared to the G300 series for buffer storage of fonts, graphics, and formats used for printing, enabling handling of more complex printing tasks.
• Processing Power: The "GE" might indicate an enhanced processor for faster printing or handling of more intricate graphics and barcode elements.
• Connectivity Options: Could offer additional connectivity options beyond the standard ones, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth for wireless printing capabilities.
• Security Features: The "E" might also suggest an emphasis on security, potentially including features like password protection or encryption to safeguard sensitive printing data.
