Owner's Manual

X S - B
Fast, reliable, easy and compatible
at a lower total cost of ownership
Speed
High-speed printing is, of course, the
norm. But the overall throughput is
enhanced by a fast 32-bit RISC CPU
(SH-3 88 MHz), 8/16 MB DRAM image
buffer, and 4 MB Flash Memory for
programs and large data file storage.
The B-SX4 and B-SX5 combine
ease-of-use with a very low
total cost of ownership making
them the ideal choice of
flexible industrial printers.
UHF RFID Antenna
Ease of use
Access to print head, platen, paper
path and sensors is made quick and
easy by the wide-opening mechanism.
A CD-ROM is provided with the
printer that includes the Owners
Manual in several languages, technical
manuals (Programming, Supply, etc.),
BarTender TEC UltraLite label printing
software and Windows drivers - which
all make the user’s life easier.
High Print Quality
TOSHIBA’s very own print heads -
203 dpi on the B-SX4 and 306 dpi
on the B-SX5 - make these machines
unique in the market. Innovations
provided by the use of these print
heads include high-precision, heat-
history control in 7 stages, a new
hyper-heater mechanism and
improved alpha protection layer.
The superb clarity of these print heads
is further enhanced by the new linear
torque control of the TOSHIBA double
ribbon motor system. The on-the-fly
ribbon save function allows ribbons to
be saved without a detrimental effect
on throughput (an option on the B-SX4).
The TOSHIBA print heads also extend
the print head life (100 km lifetime).
Reliability
A field-proven heavy-duty steel
cabinet and a robust inner mechanism
combine to ensure the incredible
reliability of the B-SX4 and B-SX5.
Several technological advances mean
more performance and functionalities
at a competitive price.
Full compatibility
Software and supplies are compatible
with TOSHIBA’s previous models - the
B-X printer range produced under the
TEC Brand.

Enhanced Features
Internet, E-mail, FTP, SML, RFID
and BCI
The enhanced functions offer many
advantages including:
• remote printing and technical support
• less costly software integration thanks
to standardized XML data exchange
• remote label format installation
and updating (web print spooling)
• efficient notification of errors and
events
• data manipulation and processing
using the BCI
Basic Command
Interpreter
The BCI can run basic programs allowing
the manipulation of incoming print data
to generate the correct label formats.
This allows the printer to be connected
to existing legacy systems eliminating
the need for costly software changes.
The BCI can also communicate with
external devices allowing the easy
integration of other technology systems.
Easy connectivity
The B-SX4/SX5 printers have an
array of interface options:
1 External RS232C port
1 Internal RS232 port
for RFID
Standard
Optional
EPC parallel port
(Centronics)
Expansion I/O
Wireless LAN 802.11b card
2-slots PCMCIA interface board
Built-in LAN board 10/100 Base
USB v1.1 port
RFID Enabled
RFID
RFID Technology satisfies the growing
requirements of supply chain management.
Data, text, barcodes and graphics can still
be printed on labels in the usual way, but at
the same time, complementary information
is stored on integrated circuits utilizing radio
frequency, ready for future reading or editing
as required. In fact, these printers treat the
addition of RFID data as just another
barcode. So, for the user or programmer,
no knowledge of RFID is necessary. Just
send the data as part of a label format and
the printer does the rest.
UHG 869.5
The B-9704-U1-QP option enables the
printer to encode chips at 869.5 MHz.
Current supported chips are EPC Class 0,
Clas 1 and ISO-18000-6-B. EPC Class 0+,
GEN2 will be available in the near future.
