Toshiba B-EX6T
The Toshiba B-EX6T is a 160 mm print width industrial label printer designed for high-volume manufacturing and logistics environments that require wide-format thermal printing. This hardware solution utilizes both direct thermal and thermal transfer technologies to produce durable labels for shipping, inventory management, and product identification. The unit is engineered for heavy-duty applications, featuring an industrial-grade chassis that weighs 20 kg and measures 331 x 460 x 310 mm to ensure stability during high-speed operation.
Production-grade throughput is a primary feature of this model, which achieves a maximum print speed of 305 mm per second (12.0 ips). This speed allows for rapid processing of large print jobs, supported by a maximum print length of 1490 mm. The device operates at a print resolution of 203 dpi, providing sufficient clarity for standard logistics barcodes and text. To minimize downtime during media changes, the system accommodates a ribbon length of 600 metres and a maximum ribbon width of 170 mm, reducing the frequency of consumable replenishment compared to smaller desktop alternatives.
Media handling capabilities allow for significant versatility in label selection and application. The printer supports a media width ranging from 50 mm to 165 mm and can process materials with a thickness between 0.08 mm and 0.25 mm. For data processing and integration, the system utilizes the ZPL II command language and includes a graphic LCD display with 10 keys for manual configuration. Internal software supports a wide array of 1D barcodes, such as EAN128 and Code 39, alongside 2D barcode formats including Data Matrix, PDF417, and QR Code.
Connectivity and environmental specifications ensure the device fits into modern industrial infrastructures. The unit features built-in Ethernet with LAN 10/100 Base and IPv6 support, as well as USB 2.0 and USB Host/RTC interfaces for local data transfer. It is designed to operate in temperatures between 5 and 40 degrees Celsius and maintains performance in non-condensing humidity levels ranging from 25% to 85%. Font support is extensive, covering Bitmap, Outline, Price, TTF, and OTF formats to meet diverse branding and regulatory requirements.
Industrial logistics managers and warehouse supervisors requiring wide-format labels for pallet identification or chemical drum marking will find this printer suitable for their high-output demands. The B-EX6T is an ideal choice for facilities that need to print labels up to 160 mm wide at speeds exceeding 10 inches per second. Organizations that exclusively require small-format 2-inch laboratory labels or those operating in environments with extreme sub-zero temperatures would be better served by a specialized compact or ruggedized mobile printing unit.
