Usability Continuing on from the easy operation of the SX range, the B-EX range also incorporates a user-replaceable snap-in printhead and platen roller, further reducing maintenance costs. The unique intuitive graphical LCD 'helpdesk' display improves usability and prompts even the novice user to take immediate corrective action where necessary, keeping user training to a minimum. Durability Toshiba has packed the superior design elements of the market-leading B-SX4 into the matt-black B-EX4 to provide customers with a high-end industrial product at a mid-range price. Features include: side opening; double ribbon motor control; automatic center media loading; near-edge or flat printhead; optional ribbon save; BCI (Basic Command Interpreter) compatibility. (Toshiba uses Basic Command Language to control the printer's interface.) Fast and flexible With a speed of 14 ips, the B-EX4 boasts a 40 % improvement in productivity on the SX range (10 ips). Ethernet and USB 2.0 are standard with options for parallel, serial and wireless LAN. It is fully compatible with the B-SX range, allowing for the swift migration of legacy printers. In addition, advanced processing capabilities facilitate high throughput. Enhanced functionality The B-EX range boasts further sophisticated features: data logging function; internal file storage; automatic thermal printhead DPI detection; LAN address display; simple LAN set-up; graphical sensor threshold on display; auto-home position function; firmware update via external memory; RFID ready. Emulation functionality The emulation functionality enables Toshiba printers to work with ZPL II data streams allowing you to enhance your labels without modifying your current system. No software changes are required, just install the printer and start working. Free yourself from the restrictions of your legacy systems, protect your future investments and lower the total cost of ownership (also available for other datastreams). Low TCO Toshiba technology has enabled a dramatic reduction in operating costs, further lowering an already legendary low 'total cost of ownership' (TCO). B-EX is equipped with the world-class green technology ribbon saving function (optional), with a nearly 70% overall lower power consumption on stand-by power compared to its predecessor. Ribbon wrinkle canceling also reduces paper and ribbon wastage. These special features reduce operating costs whilst assisting environmental conservation. Toshiba designs Combining 'Voice of the Customer' with state-of-the-art research and design allows Toshiba to produce superior, robust and reliable solutions that provide the functionality and operability needed for today's demanding industrial environments.
