Deploys like a receipt printer, prints like a label printer. BXL and POS
emulation, two drawer ports, USB, and the paper taken sensor fitted from the
factory.

If you already run a thermal receipt printer in the lane, the awkward
part of adding labelling is usually not the hardware. It is the driver stack, the
drawer kick, and finding bench space for a second machine with its own power brick.
The SRP-S300TX is designed to sidestep all three: it emulates the printer class your
software already knows, it keeps the power supply inside the case, and it drives the
drawers you have.
What it emulates and what drives it
The printer speaks BXL and POS emulation, so most point of sale
packages that can already send to a thermal printer can send to this one without a
bespoke integration. Bixolon supplies Windows, OPOS and JPOS drivers, Linux and Mac
CUPS drivers, and a virtual COM driver over USB or Ethernet for software that expects
a serial port. For anything built in house there are iOS, Android, Windows and Linux
SDKs.
Barcode support is handled on the printer rather than in your
application: Codabar, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, EAN-8, EAN-13, ITF, UPC-A and UPC-E
for linear symbols, with Data Matrix, PDF417 and QR Code for two dimensional ones.
There is 256 KB of non-volatile image memory for a stored logo, a 4 KB receive buffer
and 12 KB of user defined buffer.

Built around linerless media
No backing to discard
The adhesive is on the label
itself, so a roll of a given diameter carries more printable length and leaves nothing
behind at the counter.
Back-feed before each label
The media is drawn
back so the gap above each label falls from 14.6 mm to 4.6 mm, which is around a fifth
off the length of a 50 mm job.
Paper saving mode
Tightens the spacing around a
printed receipt and can take up to 25 percent off its length.
Replaceable cutter
The guillotine is designed to be
changed without a service call, which matters when every label is a cut rather than
every sale.
The taken sensor, and why it is fitted
The sensor is an option across the SRP-S300 range and it is present on
this build. It detects whether the previous label is still sitting in the exit slot
and holds the next one until the slot is clear, which stops two adhesive labels
meeting each other and binding the path.
In practice that means a queue of print jobs stays a queue. Orders
emerge one at a time in the order your software sent them, which is the behaviour you
want when a second person is collecting labels while a first is still serving. The
built-in B-Melodist can announce an error in speech and sound a single or repeating
alarm when a job is ready.

A desktop label printer is still the right answer when you need a fixed
label shape every time, such as a die cut shipping label. The linerless machine wins
where the length changes with the order.
Matching consumables
The roll bay takes 80 mm media up to 103 mm in diameter at a thickness
of 0.06 to 0.09 mm. We hold
80 mm linerless sticky rolls in 82 m and
80 mm continuous linerless label stock with black
marks, both in the right width and diameter for this bay. Linerless adhesives are
not all the same class, so confirm the grade against your application before ordering
in volume. Our team is on 1300 026 062.
Three things. That your media is a linerless extreme grade rather than a
sticky or re-stick one, that USB suits the lane because this build has no network
port, and that you have 156 mm of bench width and 210 mm of depth at the position you
have in mind.
Does it need a separate power brick?
No. The 24 V supply is housed inside the printer, so only the mains lead
leaves the case. That is one reason the body is deeper than a comparable label
printer.
Can it drive our existing cash drawers?
It has a drawer output that splits into two ports with a y-type adaptor,
so a pair of drawers can be triggered from the one printer. Standard RJ-type drawer
cabling applies.
Is there a wireless or Ethernet version?
The range is built around an interface option card covering serial,
parallel, Ethernet, wireless, Bluetooth and powered USB. The build listed here is the
USB one. Call 1300 026 062 with what you need and we will confirm availability before you
place the order.
How long does the print head last?
Bixolon rates the thermal print head on this variant at 75 km of media.
Head life is consumed by distance printed rather than by hours powered on, so the
figure scales with your label length and daily volume.
Will it survive a wet bench?
A water resistant cover protects the main board and carries an IP21
rating, which covers vertically dripping water. It is not rated for being washed down
or for standing water, so treat it as splash tolerant rather than
waterproof.
What is the warranty?
24 Months Return to Base. If something fails inside the term it comes back to us and
we handle the return with the manufacturer.
Delivered Australia wide from POS Sales. If you are standardising a
group of sites and want the same printer in every lane, talk to us about volume before
you buy the first one.
