1.1 PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS
1-1
1. OUTLINE
1.1 PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS
1) High quality and resolution
• The resolution in the media feed direction is 1200 dpi, the highest resolution for label printers.
• This printer can precisely print on a 3-mm long label, also can peel off 10-mm long label.
• Prevents change of the ribbon tension which causes ribbon wrinkles.
• Prevents an imbalance contact of the print head with the media and blurred print at the media edges.
2) Interface
• Use of the printer driver eliminates the need of learning any printer specific commands. Also, it is
possible to develop a general-purpose system according to the standard specification.
• Bi-directional communication feature and status monitor API enable the host application to correctly
obtain a end of print job status even when using the printer driver.
• For network printing, the standard print protocol (LPR, Raw) has been adopted.
Bi-directional communication feature of Raw enables obtaining an end of print job status via network.
Like the USB interface model, it realizes complete management of print jobs. Network printing can
be performed without any special printing software.
3) User friendliness
• Very easy supply loading due to the pop-up mechanism of the print head block.
• Easy-to-understand operation menus enable user intuitive operations.
• Large LCD panel displays the printer status or operating procedures. (Language is selectable
between Japanese and English.)
• Print head and platen roller can be replaced without any tools.
• Simple driver installer enables easy and secure installation of the printer driver.
4) Safety and environment consciousness
Interlock switch:
While the cover is opened, printing operation is stopped and the power supply to the print head is shut
down.
User protection:
This printer is designed so that users cannot touch the moving parts such as the platen roller or the cutter
unit.
EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility):
Emission of electromagnetic noise, which influences other electronics devices, is reduced. Also, the
immunity to electromagnetic noise generated by surrounding devices is enhanced.
No use of hazardous chemical substances
Compliance with EU RoHS directive
5) Option
A variety of options are provided to meet your needs.
• Cutter module (Factory option)
• Strip module (Factory option)
• Network adapter (Factory option)
Network interface: 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX (Automatic sensing), Protocol: TCP-IP
Notes:
1. B-SX600 Series does not support TPCL (TEC Printer Command Language).
2. Printable bar code, two-dimensional code, and font type depend on PC’s operating environment and
application software.
3. In the Low Power Mode, the fan motor pauses as a proper operation.
4. When the power is on, the ribbon motor works for applying proper tension to the ribbon.

(2) Strip Mechanism (HH11/HH12 model)
When an factory optional strip module is attached, a label is stripped from the backing paper by the strip
shaft, and the backing paper is drawn into the strip module. The nextlabel will not be printed until the
preceding label is removed, as a presence of the label at the strip shaft is monitored by the strip sensor.
