Bixolon XD5-43d — 4-inch direct thermal label printer, 300 dpi
300 dpiUp to 127 mm/s105.7 mm print widthUSB, LAN, Serial
The Bixolon XD5-43d (XD5-43DEK/BEG) is a 4-inch desktop label printer that prints directly on heat-sensitive media, with no ribbon at 300 dpi and up to 127 mm/s, built for shipping and logistics labels, warehouse, retail and product labelling.
This configuration connects via USB, USB Host, Ethernet 10/100 and RS-232 serial. It takes media from 15 to 118 mm wide and speaks SLCS plus the BPL-Z (ZPL II) and BPL-E (EPL) emulations, so it can usually replace a Zebra-language desktop printer without rewriting label templates.
Before you order: Direct thermal only — there is no ribbon. You need direct-thermal labels, and the print fades with heat, sunlight and abrasion. For labels that must last for years or outdoors, choose a thermal-transfer model instead.
What's in the Box
- Bixolon XD5-43d printer
- External AC/DC power adapter (24 V DC, 2.5 A) and power cord
- USB cable
- Quick manual
- No labels — order media separately; serial cable is an optional extra
What It Means in Practice
- 300 dpi gives sharper small text, small 2D codes and fine logos (electronics, pharmacy, jewellery labels); the trade-off is speed — up to 127 mm/s versus the 203 dpi version.
- Media from 15–118 mm wide on rolls up to 127 mm outside diameter (core 25.4–38.1 mm): gap, black-mark, notch, continuous and fan-fold stock — standard 100 × 150 mm shipping labels fit.
- Connections on this configuration: USB, USB Host, Ethernet 10/100 and RS-232 serial. It is a wired printer — share it over the network (if Ethernet is fitted) or connect it to one PC by USB.
- The BPL-Z (ZPL II) and BPL-E (EPL) emulations accept the label formats most ERP, WMS and courier systems already send to Zebra-language printers; Bixolon also supplies Windows drivers, Label Artist II and BarTender support.
What Will Not Work
- Ribbons — this printer has no ribbon mechanism.
- Media wider than 118 mm (maximum print width 105.7 mm).
- Peel-and-present or cutting — the peeler and auto cutter are separate options, not included.
- Wi-Fi or Bluetooth printing — this configuration is wired only.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
The XD5-43d makes sense when you want a compact, Zebra-compatible 4-inch printer without paying Zebra prices: the emulation lets it slot into existing label workflows, and Bixolon backs it with a 3-year warranty in Europe. Budget for the right media — we stock labels and can match the size and material to your application.
✓ Buy it if you print shipping, picking or product labels that are used within weeks and want ZPL/EPL compatibility at a lower cost.
✕ Skip it if labels must survive sunlight, heat, chemicals or years of storage — direct thermal fades; choose the thermal-transfer XD5-40t.
→ Also consider Bixolon XD5-40t (thermal transfer) for durable labels, or the 300 dpi XD5-43 versions for very small text and codes.
