MACH4 series - new versatility
The MACH4 label printer – perfection to the detail.
The MACH4 series offers all the features of a high class industrial printer with a wide application range. Labels and ribbons can be inserted from the front. The print mechanism and housing are made of premium materials and are perfectly harmonized in their form and function.
Easy and comfortable handling and high reliability were the requirements during development. The large display with white backlight offers optimum readability. The navigation pad with the additional “Enter” button simplifies operation, with only the operated functions being displayed. The centered label path eliminates the need for adjustments and avoids wrinkling of the ribbon.The high-tech electronic board incorporates all the requisite interfaces as standard and works with all kinds of adapters.
The MACH4 is available with 203, 300 and 600 dpi print resolution. For battery operation, a control PCB with 24 V battery is built in instead of a power supply unit. This means that the printer can be used on the move. The battery capacity is sufficient for at least one working day. The label printers can also be equipped with an RFID read/write unit for transponders in Smart labels with 13.56 MHz in line with ISO 15693.

Functions and advantages
The future “made by cab”: MACH4, the new label printer which sets new, innovative benchmarks. It offers all the features of a high class industrial printer with a wide application range.
- Three designs
- Cover made of premium materials
- Comfortable handling
- High-tech electronic board
- NCover with large windowavigation pad
1. Cover with large window
Can be opened widely. The integrated absorbability mechanism provides smooth closing. The label supply is visible at all times.
2. Media hub
The label roll is placed within the media hub and centred automatically. Materials varying in width can be easily fit within the box.
3. Ribbon retainer
The ribbon is slid onto a ribbon supply hub with spring mounted brackets. It can be centred with a movable flange and a positioning indicator. Inserting the ribbon into the print mechanism is now easy and convenient.
4. Print mechanism
It is opened at the push of a button and offers best access.
5. Printing with 203, 300 or 600 dpi
The printheads can be exchanged easily from 203 to 300 dpi. The printer automatically detects the resolution.
6. Gap sensor
To detect the beginning or end of labels the gap sensor is mounted in the centre of the label path. For multi-track labels the user can switch to another sensor which is shifted 10 mm sideways.
7. Label guidance
With the adjustment knob the user can adjust the width of the printing area. This is to centre the labels.
8. Reflex sensor
Start of label, printer‘s imprint and cut outs can be identified with a adjustable reflex sensor.
9. Drive roller
The drive roller can be easily removed for cleaning or replacement.
10. Peel-off-plate
The liner is guided down behind the operation panel. The label is peeled off at the peel-offplate.
Stand-alone operation
The layout of the labels is created either with the label software or directly on the PC. Label formats, fonts and graphic data, serial data and data base contents are saved on the CF memory card or on the internal IFFS printer memory. Only the variable data is sent to the printer via keyboard or host computer before being printed out.
