  • Resolution: 203 dpi (dots per inch) – This delivers good quality for most applications, producing clear text and readable barcodes.
  • Print Speed: Up to 200 millimeters (7.9 inches) per second – This fast print speed ensures efficient label production for moderate to high-volume printing tasks.

Media Handling:

  • Media Width: The CT-S4500 can handle labels with widths ranging from 58 millimeters (2.3 inches) to 112 millimeters (4.4 inches), making it suitable for a broad range of label sizes used for various applications.
  • Media Thickness: It supports labels from 0.0635 millimeters (0.0025 inches) to 0.15 millimeters (0.006 inches) thick, offering flexibility for different label materials.
  • Media Roll Size: The printer accepts rolls up to 102 millimeters (4 inches) in diameter with a core size of 25.4 millimeters (1 inch).
