2.4-inch thermal label printer

The Cognitive TPG DLXi DBT24-2085-G1S is a desktop barcode and label printer built for retail, logistics, healthcare and light manufacturing environments. It supports both direct thermal and thermal transfer printing at up to 5 inches per second with a 203 dpi resolution. The unit handles media widths from 1 to 2.4 inches and roll diameters up to 4.7 inches. Its metal frame construction is designed for durability in demanding daily use.

Check interfaces and media before ordering

Verify that your host system provides a USB, USB-A or serial port to match the printer’s built-in connections. Confirm that your label stock falls within the 1 to 2.4-inch width range and that roll diameter does not exceed 4.7 inches. Ensure the 100-240 V AC power supply is compatible with your local mains voltage. The printer uses black bar, notch or gap indexing, so media must include one of those sensing features.

USB-A host port enables stand-alone operation

The integrated USB-A host port allows a scanner or keyboard to be attached directly for on-demand labeling without a connected PC. Resident CPL, EcPL and ZcPL language emulations simplify replacement of legacy printers by reducing driver changes. A USB cable is included in the box for immediate host connection. The 8 MB flash memory stores fonts, graphics and label formats for stand-alone applications.

Questions about this item

Does the DBT24-2085-G1S include a USB cable or must I buy one separately?

The box contains a USB cable. The power supply is also included. No separate cable purchase is required for USB or serial connection.

Should I choose the 203 dpi model or is a higher resolution version available?

This model prints at 203 dpi. The specifications list only this resolution for the DBT24-2085-G1S; no higher-resolution variant is described in the product data.

What does the 5 ips print speed mean for daily label output?

At the maximum 5 ips (127 mm/sec), the printer can produce a 4-inch label in under one second, yielding several hundred labels per hour depending on label length and data complexity.
