GoDEX DT2x Barcode Label Printer

Printing Performance:

• Printing Method: Utilizes thermal transfer printing, employing a ribbon to transfer ink onto the label for increased durability and resistance to chemicals, moisture, or abrasion. This makes them suitable for labels on products, assets, or items in demanding environments or requiring long lifespans.
• Print Resolution: Models within the DT2X series typically offer two resolution options:
  • 203 dpi (dots per inch): Provides a good balance between print speed and readability for most applications with text-based labels and basic barcodes.
  • 300 dpi (on some models): Ideal for applications requiring sharper details in barcodes, graphics, or small fonts.
• Print Speed: Print speeds can vary depending on the model and resolution chosen. They generally range from 4 to 6 inches per second (ips), ensuring efficient printing for moderate to high-volume tasks.
• 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: The DT2X series 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.
• Easy Media Loading: 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.

Additional Features (may vary by model):

• 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.
• Durability: Built to withstand demanding industrial printing environments.
• Optional Features: Some models may offer additional features like:
  • 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).
  • Security functionalities like password protection or encryption to safeguard sensitive printing data.

Model Variations (consider these as possibilities):

• GoDEX DT200: A core model offering the functionalities mentioned above, likely with a focus on 203 dpi printing.
• GoDEX DT230: This variation might offer the additional option of 300 dpi printing for higher resolution needs.
• Other variations: There could be other models within the DT2X series with specific feature variations like built-in label rewind/retake functionality or enhanced connectivity options.
