Industrial 300 dpi label printer
The Datamax DMX-I-4308 is an industrial barcode and label printer supporting both direct thermal and thermal transfer printing at 300 x 300 dpi resolution. It connects via Parallel IEEE 1284 and Serial RS-232 DB25 interfaces. This unit suits operations needing durable labels on a legacy port infrastructure.
Sustained print behaviour
Built for industrial workloads, the mechanism handles continuous label runs without the duty-cycle limits of desktop models. The dual print technology maintains consistent output quality across long batches. Maintenance intervals stay predictable because the printhead and platen roller are serviced before shipment.
Thermals noise and power
The printer operates on a wide 115-230 VAC supply at 45-65 Hz, drawing only the power needed for the heated printhead and drive motors. Acoustic output is limited to the print mechanism and media advance, with no active cooling fans. A standard power cord is included for immediate connection.

Questions about this item
How much power does the DMX-I-4308 draw when running continuously all day?
The unit accepts 115-230VAC at 45-65 Hz, so it plugs into standard mains power without a special circuit.
Which cables must I already have to connect the DMX-I-4308 to my system?
You need either a parallel IEEE 1284 cable or a serial RS-232 DB25 cable, plus the included power cord.
Will the DMX-I-4308 work alongside legacy equipment that only has parallel or serial ports?
Yes, it provides both Parallel (IEEE 1284) and Serial (RS-232 DB25) interfaces for direct connection to older hardware.
