Postek OX Series Industrial Barcode and RFID Label Printer overview
The OX series is Postek's flagship industrial label printer, built for production lines that cannot afford a bad label. A built-in vision system can read and grade 1D and 2D codes and check text and label integrity, then alert the operator on the screen and light system if a printout falls short.
Printhead pressure is set automatically from the touchscreen rather than by a technician, and an automatic calibration routine compensates for platen wear and changes in media. The range covers 203, 300 and 600 dpi 4-inch models and a wider 300 dpi 6-inch model, OX318, with r-suffix versions listed under RFID.
