CAB SQUIX 4 Thermal Transfer Printer

This SQUIX 4 thermal transfer printer allows you to print your labels yourself. The custom labels can include a logo, text, and variable numbering and/or barcode. The label printing is of high quality.

A very effective CAB thermal transfer printer for high-quality labels suited to your needs.

The diversity of peripherals and software makes it possible to meet all your requests and requirements. Hence the roll of labels designed and then printed corresponds exactly to your needs. The SQUIX 4 thermal transfer printer is the successor to the CAB A4+ printer. This new model is just as intuitive and easy to use as the previous model.

Its compact size is combined with high precision and very fast printing, of up to 300 mm/s depending on the model. Depending on the model, the resolution is 203, 300 or 600 dpi. The components of this CAB thermal printer, attached to the cast aluminium chassis, are matched to each other and manufactured in Germany from high quality materials. This CAB printer is therefore all the more robust, for optimal and durable use. The touch screen, which replaces the backlit LCD display on the old model, allows you to view the various functions of the thermal printer and the operations in progress.

A standalone CAB thermal transfer printer

The Cablabel S3 Lite software is supplied with the SQUIX 4 thermal transfer printer. You can therefore control all the steps in producing a custom label, from design through to printing. The numerous tools available to you allow you to design a high-quality label that meets all your needs. The Cablabel S3 Lite software does not allow printing of variable barcode labels. The Pro version of Cablabel S3 software allows this type of label printing, as well as connection to and import of databases from the software, installed on a computer. You can try out this Pro version for 30 days before finally installing it on your computer.

Saved in a file, the labels can be stored on a computer, a USB key, or even in the internal memory of the SQUIX 4 thermal transfer printer. Once the memory of the SQUIX 4 thermal transfer printer contains all the information necessary for the thermal printing of the roll of labels, the thermal printer can then operate on its own, without having to be connected to a computer or a host system.

Easy maintenance

The lid of this thermal transfer printer has a large inspection window making it possible to check at any time the condition of the label rolls and the thermal transfer ribbon. Once the lid is opened, the rolls are easily replaced. A spring-loaded, quick-clamping flange completes the label roll holder: thus, a constant pressure is exerted on the label roll as the material advances. Label printing precision is therefore optimised.

A single tool is required to replace parts or attach peripherals. This tool is attached directly to the printer.

Different models of the SQUIX 4 printer

	Basic model: label printing on all materials in rolls or fanfold The material is separated on the serrated tear-off edge.
	Model P: with this model, the labels can be pre-separated thanks to an internal winder. During printing, the label is removed from its backing. The custom label is detached from the support by the pre-separation cutting edge. It can then be removed manually or by using an applicator. If you choose this model, it will be delivered with an I/O interface.
	Model M: centred consumables guide The model to choose for printing very small labels and/or on some narrow materials. Width of labels accepted: from 4 to 110 mm.
	Model MP: this model combines the P and M models. Consumables are therefore centred and the labels can be pre-separated using the internal winder present in the printer.
	Model MT: centred consumables guide The Model MT allows printing of textile labels.

Options and accessories:

	Cutter: a blade installed at the label exit on the printer, to cut the labels after thermal printing of each label. The result will be a pile of printed labels. The cutter can be customised to perforate the material in addition to cutting. A collection tray can be added to the printer, making it possible to gather about 50 labels.
	PCU400 cutter and perforator: This tool is used to perforate continuous materials such as textiles and heat shrink sleeves for subsequent manual separation. The material can also be cut.
	External winder: the external winder is connected to the printer, but it also exists with an integrated power supply and can operate on its own. The direction of winding can be inside or outside. The tensioning arm provides optimal tension and allows for better winding.
	External unwinder: the label roll is automatically centered during insertion. The direction of winding can be inside or outside. This accessory is ideal for heavy label rolls.
	Distribution module:accessory that makes it possible to label products that pass on a conveyor belt. A detection cell signals the position where the label will be placed. During label printing, the finished labels are distributed. It suffices to adjust the speed of the conveyor belt. Positioning is monitored by a reflex cell.
	Memory card: label templates designed using the Cablabel S3 software can be saved on a memory card or a USB key. This backup memory can be connected to the printer which can then operate on its own, without being connected to the host system.
	Standard USB keyboard: the label templates are designed with the Cablabel S3 software on a computer, then saved to a memory card, a USB key or in the internal memory of the printer. The keyboard, once connected to the printer through the USB port, then allows the label template to be completed with variable information such as numbering. The printer can be used on its own, without being connected to the computer.
	CC linear and 2D barcode tester: placed against the label printer, the tester reads the label’s horizontal or vertical barcode as it comes off the printer. When an anomaly is detected, printing is stopper automatically to warn the user and allow removal of the label with an unreadable barcode.

List of barcodes available for the Cablabel S3 Lite and Cablabel S3 Pro versions.

The SQUIX 4 thermal transfer printer is delivered with a USB cable, a CD with the Cablabel S3 Lite software, and the user manual.
