Bixolon XD5-43t — 4-inch thermal transfer and direct thermal label printer, 300 dpi
300 dpiUp to 102 mm/s105.7 mm print widthUSB, LAN, Serial, Wi-Fi
The Bixolon XD5-43t (XD5-43TOEWK/BEG) is a 4-inch desktop label printer that prints with a ribbon (thermal transfer) or without one (direct thermal) at 300 dpi and up to 102 mm/s, built for shipping and logistics labels, warehouse, retail and product labelling.
This configuration connects via USB, USB Host, Ethernet 10/100, RS-232 serial and dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz, 802.11a/b/g/n). 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: This model uses OUTSIDE-wound (ink side out) ribbons only, 33–110 mm wide, up to 300 m on a 1-inch core (74 m on a 0.5-inch core). Inside-wound ribbons will not print.
What's in the Box
- Bixolon XD5-43t printer
- External AC/DC power adapter (24 V DC, 2.5 A) and power cord
- USB cable
- Quick manual
- Ribbon core holders for 0.5-inch and 1-inch cores
- No labels or ribbon — 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 102 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, RS-232 serial and dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4/5 GHz, 802.11a/b/g/n). Wireless lets tablets, phones or mobile carts print without a cable to a host PC.
- 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
- Inside-wound ribbons, or ribbons outside 33–110 mm / up to 300 m.
- 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.
- Bluetooth pairing — this configuration has Wi-Fi, not Bluetooth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
The XD5-43t 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 need durable labels (synthetic, asset, outdoor, long-term storage) or want ribbon and direct thermal in one printer.
✕ Skip it if you only print short-life shipping labels — the direct-thermal XD5-40d is simpler and needs no ribbon.
→ Also consider Bixolon XD5-40d (direct thermal, up to 178 mm/s) or the 300 dpi XD5-43t for very small text and codes.
