PRINTRONIX T5000 / SL5000 Thermal Printer
The T5000 Series of Printers consists of a family of high quality, Direct Thermal and Thermal Transfer
printers specifically designed for printing labels and tags, from any MS-DOS, Windows, or ASCII based
compatible computer.
The T5000 Thermal Transfer family includes three basic models, T5X04, T5X06 and T5X08. The
model number indicates the print resolution and the print width. For example, a T5206 is a 203 dpi
printer with a 6-inch print width and a T5308 is a 300 dpi printer with an 8-inch print width. The
printhead is interchangeable so that a 203 dpi printer in the field can be easily upgraded to be a 300 dpi
printer, typically by a customer. The printhead is a customer replaceable consumable. 4, 6 and 8-inch
printheads must be used with 4, 6 and 8 inch models. A 6-inch head cannot be mounted in an 8-inch
model and vise versa.
