Compact Industrial Label Printer

The Cognitive TPG CXT4-1000 is a 4.2-inch desktop thermal transfer printer built for high-volume barcode and label production. It suits warehouses, logistics centres, retail backrooms and healthcare facilities that need industrial-grade output in a small footprint.

Sustained Throughput and Media Handling

The printer runs at 8 ips (203.2 mm/sec) with a standard 203 dpi resolution and an optional 300 dpi mode for finer detail. An 8.00-inch roll diameter and media width range of 2.00 to 4.63 inches support long, unattended print runs on labels, tags, wristbands or receipt paper.

Thermal Management and Connectivity

An all-metal mechanism and die-cast interface dissipate heat during continuous operation without active cooling noise. The unit draws power through standard USB-A/B, serial, parallel and internal Ethernet ports while maintaining a compact 7.10 x 6.90 x 10.04-inch profile at 6.10 lbs.

Questions about this item

How loud does the CXT4-1000 get when running continuous 8 ips print jobs all day?

The all-metal industrial mechanism is built for high-volume duty cycles, and the compact metal chassis helps contain operational noise during extended runs.

Which cables or host ports must I already have to connect the CXT4-1000 via USB, Serial, Parallel or Ethernet?

The box includes a USB cable; for Serial, Parallel or internal Ethernet you need the matching host port and appropriate cable on your side.

Will the CXT4-1000 accept the same 8-inch roll cores and 203 dpi label formats I use on my older CognitiveTPG printers?

Yes — it supports 8.00-inch OD rolls, media widths from 2.00 to 4.63 inches and the standard 203 dpi resolution used across the C Series.
