The BIXOLON XD5-40tR (XD5-40tREK/MEA) is a robust 4-inch desktop label printer for RFID, thermal-transfer and direct-thermal printing at 203 dpi and up to 152 mm/s (6 ips). Its built-in UHF RFID encoder prints and encodes RFID smart labels in a single pass. It takes label rolls up to 127 mm on 1" or 1.5" cores, speaks ZPL II and EPL via BPL-Z™/BPL-E™ emulation and connects via USB, USB host, RS-232 and 10/100 Ethernet, with a 200 × 100 pixel LCD and menu buttons for easy set-up. Power adapter, power cord and USB cable are included – ready to print. This is BIXOLON's regional MEA (Middle East & Africa) edition of the XD5-40tR.
