How to print from your computer once the BIXOLON XD5-40 is set up.


  1. Connect the USB cable between the label printer and your PC.

  2. Download the Windows driver from the BIXOLON official website.

  3. Now you need to set the paper size in the printer settings. Go to Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners.

    If the paper size doesn't match your labels, they may print misaligned. See Set Paper Size.

Once the driver is installed and paper size is set, you can print labels from BoxHero.

  1. Log in to BoxHero on your PC and go to Barcode Labels > Print Items > Add > Select from Templates. Select Thermal Roll and enter the paper size you'll be using.

  2. Choose your desired template: Barcode or QR Code.

  3. In the Label Content section at the bottom of the page, set up the item information you want to display on the label and click Save.

    For design options, see Create Barcode Labels.

  4. Add the items you want to print to the list, then click the Print button at the bottom.

  5. Select the printer you want to use and click Print to start the printing.
