Every day, countless parcels pass through courier companies. The delivery services industry is constantly developing, providing us with access to products from the farthest corners of the world, the ability to deliver in many different ways and in the shortest possible time. The dynamics in this sector is related to the constantly growing popularity of the e-commerce industry. The convenience of online shopping is gaining more and more supporters. Consumers choose this option due to time savings and variety of products. Automation of forwarding processes has significantly improved transport logistics. Marking products and packaging with unique barcodes and QR codes enabled their quick selection, minimizing the risk of mistakes. The fewer errors in the shipment, the faster it reaches the recipient, which significantly increases service satisfaction. The speed of order fulfillment is one of the most important factors influencing whether a customer decides to shop again in a given store. One of the manufacturers offering devices for printing shipping labels is the Bixolon brand. The manufacturer's offer includes devices with various parameters, adapted to the requirements of a given industry. We present to you two models of stationary printers that are already trusted by many e-entrepreneurs. These devices are characterized by compact sizes, making them suitable even in small spaces.

XD3-40 is a series of small, desktop printers available in two versions of printing technology: thermal transfer and thermal. The small design is equipped with navigation buttons and LED diodes for easy operation and replacement of consumables. The print resolution is 203 dpi, which allows you to generate readable labels at a maximum speed of 127 mm per second. Inside there is 64 MB of SDRAM and 128 MB of Flash memory. This guarantees efficient generation of 1D and 2D codes and smooth operation with minimized risk of downtime. The basic models have a USB interface, but variants with a serial port and Ethernet are also available. These printers are an excellent and budget choice for the e-commerce sector. They are perfect for printing not only courier labels, but also shelf and product markings. Importantly, it is possible to expand the set with additional accessories that will allow you to customize the printers according to your preferences.

The memory capacity of the XD5-40 printers has been increased to 256MB SDRAM and 256MB Flash. Thanks to this, the devices offer even faster data processing and printing speeds of up to 178 mm/s. They are available in two print resolution versions: 203 dpi (XD5-40) and 300 dpi (XD5-43). The manufacturer's offer also includes a model with the UHF RFID coding and printing function (XD5-40tR).
