About the BIXOLON XD5-40d

The BIXOLON XD5-40d (CEBK/AUS) is the wireless, auto-cutter configuration of BIXOLON's 4-inch direct thermal desktop label printer. It prints crisp 203dpi barcodes and labels at up to 7 ips, and its dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4/5GHz), Bluetooth V4.1 and wired Ethernet, Serial and USB let it drop into almost any counter, warehouse or mobile setup without being tied to one cable.
A field-installable auto cutter is included, so labels are cut cleanly to length for shipping, pick-and-pack and order fulfilment. With ZPL II (BPL-Z), SLCS and EPL emulation plus OPOS/JPOS, Windows, CUPS and BarTender UltraLite drivers, it slots into existing label workflows, including Zebra ZPL environments, with minimal changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work with my label software and ZPL?
Yes in most cases. The XD5-40d supports SLCS, ZPL II (BPL-Z) and EPL emulation, so it drops into many existing label workflows including Zebra ZPL environments, and it ships with Windows (Seagull/Europlus), macOS and Linux CUPS, OPOS/JPOS and BarTender UltraLite drivers. Because each POS or label platform certifies its own hardware, confirm the XD5-40d (or ZPL) is supported by your software, or call us on 1300 115 808 before ordering.
Do these labels need a ribbon?
No. The XD5-40d is a direct thermal printer, so it prints using heat with no ribbon, ink or toner. If you need long-life labels that resist heat and light, ask us about the thermal transfer XD5-40t model instead.
What label rolls does it take?
It handles media 15 to 118mm wide, rolls up to 127mm (5 inch) outer diameter on a 25.4 to 38.1mm (1 to 1.5 inch) core, and gap, black-mark, notch, continuous or fan-fold stock. Maximum print width is 108mm (4 inch).
Is this the wireless model?
Yes. This CEBK/AUS configuration includes dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4/5GHz) and Bluetooth V4.1 alongside Ethernet, Serial and USB, and a built-in auto cutter. If you only need wired connectivity and a peeler, the lower-cost XD5-40d with Peeler covers that.
What is the difference between the auto cutter and the peeler?
An auto cutter slices each label off the roll so you get a cleanly cut label, which suits shipping and fulfilment. A peeler separates the label from its backing so staff can pick it up and apply it in one motion, which suits product and address labelling. This model includes an auto cutter.
What warranty does it include?
The BIXOLON XD5-40d is covered by a 2 year Return to Base warranty. Contact our team on 1300 115 808 to confirm warranty and support options for your setup.
