Argox iX6 Pro 6-Inch Industrial Barcode Printer overview
The iX6 Pro is Argox's 6-inch industrial printer for wide labels, printing up to 168 mm wide at 203 dpi and 6 ips. Argox says its compact design uses over 20% less working space, making it suitable for space-constrained sites.
A metal case protects the mechanism in demanding environments, and a dedicated media shaft helps keep long print runs feeding smoothly. Interfaces are recessed into the housing to protect them from spills.
