BIXOLON SLP-TX400 Desktop Barcode Label Printer – Direct Thermal & Thermal Transfer

High-Performance Industrial Labeling in a Compact Desktop Design

The BIXOLON SLP-TX400 is engineered for businesses that require high-volume, reliable barcode labeling without sacrificing workspace. Capable of printing at speeds up to 7 inches per second (178 mm/s), this robust desktop printer handles complex graphical data, vector fonts, and dense 1D/2D barcodes with ease. Whether you need durable thermal transfer shipping tags or quick direct-thermal receipt labels, the SLP-TX400 provides flexible dual-mode operation for every application.

Smart Media Detection™ & Large Capacity Support

Say goodbye to tedious manual paper calibration. BIXOLON’s proprietary Smart Media Detection™ automatically senses media gaps, black marks, and short-length media with a simple push of the Feed button. To keep your workflow uninterrupted, the printer accommodates large ribbon rolls up to 300 meters in length (compatible with wax, wax/resin, and resin ribbons), significantly cutting down on supply replacement cycles during busy shifts.

Universal Emulation & Seamless Software Integration

Integrating the SLP-TX400 into your existing infrastructure is plug-and-play simple. It features built-in market-leading emulations, including SLCS™, BPL-Z™ (ZPL II), and BPL-E™ (EPL). Additionally, every unit comes bundled with BIXOLON Label Artist™—a powerful design program enabling database linkage, custom barcode layout creation, and font customization right out of the box.
