1. Introduction

1.1 Product Introduction

The sleek design of the TD-4420TN/4520TN label printer can handle up to 984 ft. (300 m) of

ribbon and label rolls. Its internal 5” (127 mm) label capacity can be further expanded with an

external label roll mount to handle 8” (203.2 mm) rolls, designed for industrial label printers.

The printer's movable Black Mark Sensor is compatible with a wide range of label media.

The printer uses its high-performance, high-quality, built-in Monotype Imaging®TrueType font

engine with the CG Triumvirate Bold Condensed smooth scalable font. It also provides a choice

of eight different sizes of the alphanumeric bitmap font. The printer's flexible firmware design

allows the user to download additional TrueType fonts from a computer to print custom labels.

It also supports most of the standard barcode formats and can print fonts and barcodes in four

directions.

•For more information about printing labels, see your labelling software's documentation.

•For more information about writing custom programs, see the FBPL Command Reference

Manual.
