Argox CP-2140EX Pro Desktop Barcode Printer overview
The CP-2140EX Pro is Argox's value desktop printer for everyday thermal transfer and direct thermal labelling. It prints at 203 dpi and up to 6 ips across a 108 mm print width, and its roomy interior makes it easy to install labels and ribbons.
Argox's "shell suit" design places the connectors under a covered roof at the back, which helps guard against spills and lets the printer sit closer to a wall. It accepts ribbons up to 300 m, auto-detects ink-in or ink-out ribbon winding, and can use 1-inch or optional 0.5-inch ribbon cores.
Ethernet, USB device, USB host and RS-232 are included, along with 128 MB each of SDRAM and Flash for storing fonts, forms and graphics.
