Accessories for label printer XD4
Cutter
Used to cut paper labels, self-adhesive labels, cardboard, textile or synthetic materials as well as heat shrink tubes.
Perforation cutter
Enables the perforation of the material for later manual separation.
Stacker with cutter
Printed materials are cut and stacked. The print job is stopped as soon as the maximum stack height is reached. Even stiff or curved materials may be processed. We recommend to have your material tested at our facilities.
Print rollers for small and thin materials
Outside the material width the printhead rubs against the print rollers. By using small print rollers feeding errors and wear on print head and print roller due to rubbing are avoided. Three different standard widths are available from stock.

White backlight for optimum readability.
2. Ribbon holder
Simple, centered insertion of the ribbon with three-part tightening axles. Imprinted rule simplifies ribbon positioning.
3. No print head adjustment
The print head is pressed down by two toggles. Due to centered material positioning there is no need to do print head adjustments and settings.
4. Material positioning
High printing accuracy as the material is located directly behind the print roller. Width adjustment with a single knob.
5. Peripheral connection
Add-on modules such as cutter, perforation cutter and stacker are easy to connect.
6. Solid metal housing
Die-cast aluminum. All components are mounted on it.
7. Roll holder
Available for core diameters starting 38 mm (76 mm adapters for improved label winding are provided). The material is automatically centered. The spring-mounted margin stop ensures constant tension during feeding, thus ensuring high printing accuracy.
