The Features

2 color printer One transport roll Leporello usage

possible Options – CU and

PCU Ribbonsaver Compact design


Overview – Why XC ?

XC ( X= Xtended - C = Color ) is designed as 2 color printer Main reason for the development was the introduction of the GHS

regulation. (GHS = Globally Harmonised System) Available as 4 inch and 6 inch wide printers. Both with 300 dpi resolution


Application range

GHS labels Pricing (Old price – new price) Any other 2 color printing


Documentation +Certifications

All certifications available Service manual and all other manuals available Full documentation at www.cab.de


FunctionalityAnalogies to other cab printing systems

Two print heads Two ribbon transport mechanisms Identical CPU Identical display Identical setup and menu structure Identical mainboard Identical firmware Lots of identical hardware components


Material transport


Additional setup settings

Distance between the printheads Head alignment in Y direction Ribbon saver Jscript / On

XC is always left side oriented


Direct Programming

Data is sent by Jscript to both print heads

Print objects are positioned like one large print head – analog to the XD printers

The printheads are „cut“ in 2 pieces.... ....theoretical We decide to take 2 printheads instead. ;-) But this is important to know and to

understand how the positions for the objects are defined

The printer does not know anything about colors !!


Color separation

Color separation handled by the windows driver

Printer control via labelling software ( cablabel R2+ or cablabel S3)

Usage of „clean“ colors Knowledge about color separation

is necessary


Color separation

Color settings in the windows driver


Sensors - Monitoring

Print head open sensor 2x Ribbon sensor 2x (with position LED) Paper (material) sensor


Limits

Ribbon saver for the „first“ print head Small ribbons can be used How does the ribbon saver work ? –

Mechanically - electronically „One color printing“ One color printing with ribbon saver ? Multiple labels across –are not

possible with the Jscript command. Single labels only with blank labels

between No support of the serial interfaces Supressed material backfeed
