Toshiba B-SX4 & SX5

High End High Quality Industrial Printers

The new TOSHIBA TEC B SX4 & B SX5 thermal transfer / direct thermal printers extend the tradition of technical innovation of the TOSHIBA TEC high class industrial printers. TEC provides superior performance and reliability in a variety of industries including manufacturing, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, textiles, electronics & telecoms.

Speed
Maintaining the high speed printing of its predecessors, throughput is enhanced by a fast 32 bit RISC CPU (SH 3 88 MHz), 8/16 MB DRAM image buffer, and 4 MB Flash Memory for programs and large data file storage. Their improved ease of use as well as a very low total cost of ownership make them the ideal choice as flexible, industrial printers.

Ease of use
Access to printhead, platen, paper path and sensors is improved by the development of a new wide opening mechanism. A CD ROM is provided with the printer that includes the Owners manual in several languages, technical manuals (Programming, Supply, etc.), BarTender TEC UltraLite label printing software (for OF model) and Windows drivers which all make the user’s life easier

High print quality
TOSHIBA’s very own printheads 203dpi on the B SX4 and 306dpi on the B SX5 make these machines unique in the market. Innovations provided by the use of these printheads include high precision heat history control in 7 stages, a new hyperheater mechanism and improved alpha protection layer. The superb clarity of these printheads is further enhanced by the new linear torque control of the TOSHIBA TEC double ribbon motor system. The new on the fly ribbon saving function allows ribbons to be saved without a detrimental effect on throughput (an option on the B SX4).

Reliability
A field proven heavy duty steel cabinet and a incredible reliability of the B SX4 and B SX5. Several technological advances mean more performance and functionalities at a competitive price.
