Frequently Asked Questions - XD5-40DK Bixolon
How do I load labels into the Bixolon XD5-40DK?
Open the top cover, slide the media guides apart, insert the label roll onto the spindle, feed the labels under the print head assembly, adjust the media guides, and close the cover. Ensure the label gap sensor is aligned with the gap.
What type of labels can I use with this printer?
The XD5-40DK supports both die-cut and continuous labels, with a width range of 25.4 to 118 mm. For thermal transfer, use wax or resin ribbons. For direct thermal, use coated paper labels.
How do I connect the printer to my computer?
You can connect via USB, serial (RS-232C), or Ethernet. Install the proper driver from the Bixolon website or included CD. For USB, the printer appears as a virtual COM port or printer device.
The printer is printing blank labels. What should I do?
Check that the ribbon is installed correctly for thermal transfer, or that you are using direct thermal labels. Also verify the print darkness setting is not too low. Clean the print head with a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
How do I clean the print head?
Turn off the printer and open the top cover. Gently wipe the print head element with a soft, lint-free cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol. Allow it to dry completely before closing the cover and printing.
How can I reset the printer to factory defaults?
Press and hold the FEED button while turning on the power. Continue holding until the status LED blinks rapidly, then release. The printer will reset to default settings.
What is the maximum label length for continuous printing?
With continuous labels, the maximum label length is limited by memory, typically up to 6 meters (236 inches) under normal conditions. For die-cut labels, length is sensor-dependent.
How do I change the ribbon?
Open the top cover, remove the empty ribbon core, insert a new ribbon roll onto the ribbon spindle, feed the ribbon leader through the ribbon path, and attach it to the take-up spindle. Ensure the ribbon is taut and aligned.
My labels are not aligning properly. How do I calibrate the label sensor?
Perform a media calibration: hold the PAUSE button while powering on, wait for a few labels to feed automatically, then release. This detects the label gap. Alternatively, use the command "! U1 GET" or software utility.
Can I print barcodes from standard Windows programs like Word?
Yes, after installing the printer driver, you can print from any Windows application. However, for complex barcodes, it is recommended to use dedicated label software like Bartender or NiceLabel to ensure barcode quality.
