Bixolon XM7-40 Premium 4-Inch Mobile Label Printer

The Bixolon XM7-40 (specifically the XM7-40IWK/BEG model configuration) is a rugged, industrial-grade 4-inch (112mm) mobile direct thermal barcode label printer. Engineered for heavy-duty field operations, transport logistics, warehouse management, and large-scale retail pricing, this portable device generates wide shipping documents and tracking labels without relying on ink cartridges or thermal transfer ribbons.

This specific enterprise variant features an integrated TFT LCD colour screen, an embedded label peeler, universal USB Type-C power delivery, and hardware-level RS232 Serial communication. Wireless connectivity includes dual-band Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n) and Bluetooth 5.0 with official Apple MFi certification for simultaneous connection setups across iOS, Android, and Windows data networks.

Features

Industrial-Grade Ingress Protection and Rugged Construction

Built to withstand severe handling in distribution hubs, the printer casing features an IP54 certification protecting internal mechanisms from dust deposits and multi-directional water spray. The mechanical housing is structurally verified to survive repeated drops onto raw concrete floors from heights of up to 2.1 metres (7 feet), keeping your mobile workforce operational.

Wide-Format High-Speed Direct Thermal Printing

The internal 203 dpi (8 dots/mm) printing engine processes 1D barcodes, 2D data matrices, text elements, and graphical shipping labels at print speeds up to 5 inches per second (127 mm/sec). The versatile media compartment accommodates roll outer diameters up to 66mm and features adjustable paper guides supporting media widths from 50mm up to 112mm (with a maximum print width of 104mm).

Comprehensive Dual-Wireless Connectivity

This multi-wireless configuration permits dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and Bluetooth 5.0 to remain active concurrently. An integrated Near Field Communication (NFC) tag enables instant tap-to-pair setup with Android mobile computers and handheld barcode scanners, while full iOS MFi compliance supports reliable connections to Apple iPads and iPhones.

Smart Battery Management and USB-C Charging

Equipped with a high-capacity rechargeable 7.2V Lithium-ion 6800 mAh smart battery pack, the XM7-40 records real-time operational data including charge cycles and cell health metrics. This power architecture supports universal USB Type-C Power Delivery (PD), meaning operators can charge the hardware via standard laptop power bricks, vehicle charging sockets, or multi-port workplace hubs.

Complete Command Emulation and Software Integration

With 128 MB SDRAM and 256 MB Flash memory built-in, the printer features smart media detection and command auto-switching software. It supports industry-standard printer languages including ZPLII (BPL-Z), CPCL (BPL-C), SLCS, and BXL/POS out of the box, allowing simple integration into existing Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and SAP Smart Forms.
