Compact Label Printer for Mobile Users

The Rongta XB-R5 is a pocket-sized thermal label printer that connects to iOS and Android phones via Bluetooth. It ships with one roll of white label paper and requires no ink or toner. The companion RONGTA app supplies more than 25 fonts, 50 templates and 450 material options for home, office or school organisation. It does not work with computers, Google phones or Chromebooks.

Lightweight Build With Automatic Rewind

Weighing 180 g and measuring 6.65 in x 4.5 in x 1.9 in, the printer slips into a pocket for on-the-go use. An automatic paper-rewind function calibrates the first label at power-on, preventing offset prints and saving the first label when Rongta tapes are used. A 1500 mAh rechargeable battery delivers up to four hours of continuous printing per charge. The direct thermal print head must not be scratched or the sensor chip damaged.

12 mm Wide Labels at 203 DPI Resolution

The single specification that decides fit is the 12 mm print width combined with a 203 DPI thermal print head. Labels are produced at 12 mm x 40 mm, so any application needing wider media or higher resolution will require a different device. Media rolls must be 12 mm x 75 mm x 12 mm for the rewind sensor to operate correctly.

Questions about this item

Does the Bluetooth interface limit printing to mobile devices only?

Yes, the printer connects via Bluetooth to the RONGTA app on iOS or Android phones and is not compatible with computers, Google phones or Chromebooks.

What label width does the 12 mm media size require for the automatic rewind function?

The automatic paper rewind and first-label calibration work with 12 mm wide Rongta label tapes; other tapes disable the rewind feature.

How is the label roll installed so the sensor chip is not damaged?

Load the roll with the printing sensor chip on the side facing outward, then close the cover; tearing or destroying that chip will affect print quality.
