S510 · QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Questions to ask before choosing the S510
What type of printer is the S510?
The S510 is a handheld TIJ printer for text, dates, time, lot numbers, serial numbers, barcodes and QR codes. It suits batch jobs and applications where the printing position needs to move.
What print height and resolution does the S510 offer?
The brochure specifies 12.7 or 25.4 mm print height, depending on the printhead, and 300 or 600 dpi resolution, depending on settings. Confirm your print area before selecting the printhead.
Can it print on cartons, pouches and plastics?
Select an ink compatible with the material and test actual samples first. Clarity, drying and adhesion depend on the ink, surface and settings; packaging type alone is not enough to choose an ink.
Can the S510 import Excel data?
Yes. The brochure lists TXT and Excel support for variable data. Send sample data and the intended print layout for our team to check before use.
What does the maximum speed of 40 m/min mean?
It is the printing speed specified in the brochure based on the manual, not a guaranteed number of manually printed items per hour. Actual results depend on movement, the product and settings.
