Bixolon launches XQ-840ll desktop label printer

Bixolon Europe has launched the XQ-840ll integrated all-in-one tablet and desktop label printer, developed to enhance label printing and improve the productivity across a range of sectors and functions including retail, manufacturing, hospitality and healthcare.

The XQ-840II printer supports diverse labelling needs across a number of industries. In retail, it can help with store management and weigh labeling. Within hospitality environments, it can enhance food safety labeling. Healthcare applications include improved pharmacy and asset management; while in manufacturing, the device enhances inventory tracking, materials handling and facilities management.

The new printer integrates a GMS (Google Mobile Services) certified 8in tablet, with advanced security features and touchscreen functionality. Its auto-focus camera enables barcode scanning; while 4 GB RAM and 64GB flash ensure fast data processing.                                                      

The XQ-840II prints at speeds of up to 6in/sec (152 mm/sec) at 203 DPI and allows users to develop Android apps leveraging the open-source nature of the OS. The printer supports media roll diameter of up to 130 mm, with optional auto-cutter and a peeler for high volume operations that supports higher productivity.

The XQ-840ll has been engineered with a space-saving and waterproof design, and runs the Android 13 operating system and provides a high level of manageability for a diverse range of applications through the Google Play Store.

Jay Kim, managing director of Bixolon Europe, said: ‘The XQ-840II overcomes many challenges related to using a separate tablet device and label printer setup. This includes the typical high total cost of ownership, wasted space, connectivity issues, and power management inefficiencies that come with managing multiple devices. By combining a tablet and a printer in one compact device, the XQ-840II device saves space, prevents tablet theft, and offers  reliable, seamless connectivity options. Further, it enhances the entire label printing process for organisations.’
