BIXOLON XD5-40t — 4-inch thermal transfer desktop label printer, 203 dpi
Thermal Transfer203 dpiUp to 152 mm/sUSB & USB Host
The BIXOLON XD5-40t is a 4-inch desktop label printer that prints by thermal transfer (with direct thermal mode) at 203 dpi and up to 152 mm/s (6 ips), made for shipping and courier labels, warehouse and stock labels, and retail product or shelf labels.
It connects over USB 2.0, USB Host. Its BPL-Z and BPL-E emulations accept ZPL II and EPL label formats, so most labels created for Zebra printers print without rework. It is a compact, single-user or workgroup printer for counters, packing benches, back offices and small warehouses rather than a 24/7 industrial line printer.
In practice it sits between a PC or POS terminal and a roll of labels: you design labels in label software such as BarTender, or print them straight from your ERP, WMS, e-shop back office or courier portal. Label size, gap and darkness are set once in the driver or by a quick media calibration, and after that every print lands in the same place on the label.
Before you order: Thermal transfer printing needs a ribbon (wax, wax/resin or resin) at least as wide as your label, on a 12.7 mm (½") or 25.4 mm (1") core. Ribbon and labels are consumables and are ordered separately. Without a ribbon it can still print on direct thermal labels.
What's in the Box
- XD5-40t label printer
- AC/DC power adapter and power cord
- USB cable
- 2 ribbon holders and paper cores for ½-inch and 1-inch ribbons
- No labels or ribbon — media is ordered separately
What It Means in Practice
- Labels from 15–118 mm wide on rolls up to 127 mm outside diameter — standard 100 × 150 mm (4 × 6 in) shipping labels fit.
- At up to 152 mm/s (6 ips) a 150 mm long label prints in roughly 1.0 seconds, so batches of a few hundred labels are a matter of minutes.
- With USB 2.0, USB Host only, it prints from the PC it is cabled to; to use it from several PCs, share it from that PC or choose the network version.
- With a ribbon, prints resist heat, rubbing and light far better than direct thermal — suitable for asset tags, outdoor parcels and long-term stock labels.
- The USB Host port takes a barcode scanner or keyboard for stand-alone jobs, and BIXOLON's Twin Function copies settings and stored data from one printer to another over USB — useful when you roll out several identical printers.
What Will Not Work
- Media wider than 118 mm or rolls larger than 127 mm outside diameter.
- Ribbons with the wrong core size (it takes 12.7 mm (½") or 25.4 mm (1") cores) or longer than 300 m.
- Colour printing, photos or ordinary A4 office printing — it prints one colour (black) on label media.
- Network or wireless printing — this configuration has no Ethernet, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
Key Features
ZPL II and EPL emulation
BPL-Z and BPL-E accept Zebra-format labels; BPL-D (DPL) and XML are available as options. Works with BarTender and BIXOLON Label Artist-II.
Smart Media Detection
The printer recognises gap, black-mark, notched and continuous media automatically, so a new roll type does not need a manual calibration routine.
Two ribbon sizes
Accepts 74 m ribbons on ½-inch cores and 300 m ribbons on 1-inch cores — buy the cheaper short ribbons for low volume or the long ones to change less often.
Field-installable options
A peeler and an auto cutter can be fitted later in the field, and memory can be expanded, so the printer can grow with the job.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
The XD5-40t is BIXOLON's mid-range thermal transfer desktop: faster than the entry XD3 (6 ips), with automatic media detection, two ribbon sizes and field-fit cutter or peeler. This USB version suits a single workstation. For a wired network connection, use a patch cable from our network cables range.
✓ Buy it if you need durable 4-inch labels at a higher daily volume from one PC.
✕ Skip it if the printer must be shared on the network — choose an Ethernet model.
→ Also consider BIXOLON XD5-43tOEK (300 dpi, LCD and Ethernet) or XD5-40dK (direct thermal, 7 ips).
