Label printers SQUIX
Description
They are for use in a wide range of applications. They have been developed with a constant focus on easy and intuitive operation as well as high reliability.
The print mechanics and the chassis are made from high-quality materials and perfectly match in shape and function. A large number of peripherals and software enable customer-specific solutions.
Whether operated stand-alone, linked to a PC or in a network – the rugged printers are always up to the mark. A powerful processor results in print jobs performed quickly and labels provided straight away.

Basic device
providing a tear-off plate
They print on labels or on continuous materials wound on rolls or fanfold. Materials are torn off on a jagged plate. Cutting is an option, so is external rewinding.
Peel-off device
providing a rewinder internally
Peeling off labels is a feature added to a basic version. Labels are separated from the liner after printing to be removed by hand or by an applicator.
The extra wide one
to print pallet or barrel labels

Details
Label printer with left-aligned material guidance
- Label printer SQUIX 4 P,
peel-off device providing a rewinder internally
as a peel-off device providing a rewinder internally
1 Hinged cover
Material stock can be checked and entire printing processes followed through a large panoramic window.
2 Plungers
One is fixed on the inside. To get a good print image, the second one is moved to the outside margin of a label.
3 Rugged metal chassis
made of cast aluminum to assemble all the units
4 Coated print rollers
Synthetic rubber is a standard to get highly accurate print images. Silicone coating is an option for extra long service life.
5 Peel-off function
to separate labels from the liner. A powered guide roller and a pinch roller enable highly accurate imprint and peel-off.
6 Peripheral port
to plug additional modules easily and quickly. They are screw-fixed.
7 Ribbon holder
Ribbons are quick and easy to replace using three-part tightening axles.
8 Roll holder
Constant tension by means of the margin stop (spring-mounted, screw-capped) while material is fed
9 Internal rewinder
to wind labels or liners with or without a cardboard core on peel-off devices. Materials are easy to handle using a three-part tightening axle.
10 Rocker
Suspension and Teflon-made guide rollers reduce traction and improve the accuracy of print images.
11 Material guide
assembled to the rocker. By a user turning the rotary knob, the stop moves to the margin of a label.
Print image accuracy
The smaller a label, the higher are the demands. Using slip correction, print offset can be reduced by ±0.2 mm.
Operation panel
Self-explanatory symbols help with the device settings and enable a printer to be operated intuitive and easily.

1 LED: Power ON
2 USB port to plug a service key or a memory stick, to transfer data to the IFFS memory
3 Connecting USB cable, lengths 1.8 m to 16 m. If length succeeds 3 m, use only specified cables. For dimensions see assembly instructions
Print heads
A print head can be replaced by any other one, provided they are of equal width. They are detected and calibrated by the CPU automatically.
Major data such as the operational performance, maximum operational temperatures and heat energies are kept in memory on a print head. The data can be read at the premise.
