Description Engineered as the next generation of the proven iX4 series, the Argox iX4-280 delivers higher performance and improved mechanical stability for continuous, high-volume use. Printing in both Direct Thermal and Thermal Transfer modes, it supports a max print width of 105 mm (4.13″) and lengths up to 2 540 mm (100″)—ideal for shipping labels, pallet IDs, compliance tags and product barcodes. Hardware upgrades—including a new MPU and larger memory—accelerate data processing, while the optimized frame reduces vibration to maintain consistent quality at top speed. Key Features Speed & Quality: 203 dpi at up to 10 ips (254 mm/s) for crisp, scannable labels. 4″ Print Engine: Max print width 105 mm (4.13″); max print length 100″ (2 540 mm). Dual Print Modes: Direct Thermal & Thermal Transfer with 450 m ribbon support. Industrial I/O: USB 2.0, RS-232 and 10/100 Ethernet (TCP/IP) standard. Ample Memory: 128 MB SDRAM 128 MB Flash, plus USB storage up to 32 GB for fonts, graphics and templates. Optimized Mechanics: Reduced vibration for better quality at high speed; durable printhead design. Auto-Labelling Ready: Flat-panel media path shortens peel-off distance for smoother applicator operation. Model Variant: 99-LK202-001 — 203 dpi, dark-grey main unit, without LCD. Why Choose the Argox iX4-280? The Argox iX4-280 brings next-gen speed, stability and fleet-friendly integration to high-volume label printing. If you need dependable throughput on busy lines—with minimal changeovers and easy drop-in replacement—the iX4-280 is purpose-built for the job. Top Reasons Faster throughput, fewer bottlenecks: 203 dpi at up to 10 ips (254 mm/s) keeps shipping, receiving and production lines moving. Consistent quality at speed: Optimised, low-vibration mechanics help preserve barcode edge definition even at top speed. DT & TT flexibility: Switch between Direct Thermal for short-life labels and Thermal Transfer for durable compliance tags. Longer, uninterrupted runs: Supports 450 m ribbons to reduce mid-shift changeovers and improve uptime. Industrial connectivity built-in: USB 2.0, RS-232 and 10/100 Ethernet (TCP/IP) for easy drop-in across mixed environments. Automation-ready media path: Flat-panel design shortens peel-off distance for smoother hand-off to applicators. Fast first-label-out: Upgraded MPU plus 128 MB SDRAM / 128 MB Flash (USB storage up to 32 GB) speeds rendering of fonts, logos and templates. Right-sized print area: Up to 105 mm (4.13″) width and 2,540 mm (100″) length covers everyday courier, pallet and compliance labels. Lower total cost of ownership: Fewer stoppages, reliable mechanics, and consistent scans reduce rework and service calls. Proven, deployment-friendly variant: 99-LK202-001 (203 dpi, dark grey, no LCD) keeps things simple and robust on the line. The iX4-280 is purpose-built for continuous duty across shipping, receiving, cross-dock and production lines. Its upgraded MPU and expanded memory deliver faster label rendering and snappy first-label-out, while the reinforced, optimized frame reduces vibration to help preserve edge definition and barcode integrity—especially at the printer’s top speed of 10 ips. With support for 450 m ribbons, the iX4-280 cuts mid-shift changeovers, keeping operators focused on throughput. Connectivity is enterprise-ready from the rear panel: USB for direct attachment, RS-232 for legacy hosts, and 10/100 Ethernet (TCP/IP) for shared queues and remote management. The flat-panel media path shortens peel-off distance, improving label presentation for automatic labellers and helping applicators run smoothly at pace. On-printer resources—128 MB SDRAM 128 MB Flash with optional USB storage up to 32 GB—let you store logos, fonts and templates to reduce host chatter.
