The Bixolon XD5-40d is a 4-inch (104mm) direct thermal label printer with a built-in peeler, designed for businesses that print and apply labels all day. It prints directly onto thermal label stock with no ribbon to load or replace, at 203 dpi and speeds of up to 7 ips (178 mm/s), so it keeps pace with busy retail counters, warehouse benches and dispatch areas. The integrated peeler separates each label from its backing as it prints, so labels are presented ready to peel and apply. With USB, USB Host, Serial (RS-232) and Ethernet on board, the XD5-40d drops straight into wired POS and back-of-house setups without relying on wireless.

Print and apply, all day
Load a roll of 4-inch direct thermal labels, connect over USB or Ethernet to your POS or label software, and the XD5-40d peels each label off its liner as it prints. Instead of pulling labels from a strip, staff simply lift the next ready-to-apply label and press it onto the product, parcel or shelf, which keeps product labelling and pricing moving quickly. Because it is direct thermal, there is no ribbon to manage, and the adjustable media guide and media holder keep rolls tracking straight through long runs. The compact clamshell body and on-board menu buttons make day-to-day operation and roll changes simple at the counter or on the bench.

Frequently asked questions
Does the XD5-40d use a ribbon?
No. It is a direct thermal printer, so it prints straight onto thermal label stock. There is no ribbon to buy or load, you just fit a roll of compatible direct thermal labels.
What is the peeler for?
The built-in peeler separates the backing liner from each label as it prints, so the label is presented ready to peel and apply. This makes it ideal for product labelling and any job where staff apply labels by hand, one after another.
Does this model have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth?
No, this model is wired only. It connects via USB, USB Host, Serial (RS-232) and Ethernet. If you need wireless, the XD5-40d Auto-Cutter model adds Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
What label width does it print?
It prints up to 4 inches (104mm) wide, which covers shipping, product, price and barcode labels.
How fast does it print?
The XD5-40d prints at up to 7 ips (178 mm/s) at 203 dpi, so it keeps up with busy retail, warehouse and dispatch labelling.
What software does it work with?
It supports BIXOLON Label Artist and Seagull BarTender for label design, plus XPM and XCM web-based printer management. Twin Function lets you copy printer settings and data between units via USB.
What is the difference between the peeler and the cutter model?
This model peels each label off its backing so staff can apply it by hand, which suits peel-and-apply product labelling. The Auto-Cutter model instead cuts each label off the roll. Choose the peeler for hand application and the cutter when you need individually cut labels.
Not sure which model is right for you?
