Godex EZ-120 4-Inch Desktop Label Printer – Thermal Transfer / Direct Thermal, 203 dpi, USB Interface

The Godex EZ-120 is a versatile 4-inch desktop barcode and label printer that supports both Thermal Transfer (TT) and Direct Thermal (DT) printing methods. It is ideal for small to medium volume labeling needs in offices, warehouses, retail, and logistics environments where space is limited but flexible label printing is required.

Dual-Mode Printing

The EZ-120 allows you to choose between:

• Thermal Transfer — uses a ribbon to print on approved media for durable, long-lasting labels

• Direct Thermal — prints directly on heat-sensitive media, ideal for short-term labels (shipping, receipts)

This flexibility makes it useful when you need both temporary and durable labeling without buying two printers.

Resolution & Performance

At 203 dpi, the EZ-120 produces clear, readable barcodes, text, and graphics suitable for a broad range of labeling tasks.
Typical performance specs include:

• Print speed: up to 4 in/s (≈ 102 mm/s)

• Max print width: 108 mm (4.25 in)

• Max label length: up to 68 in (≈ 1,727 mm)

These specifications make it ideal for shipping labels, SKU labels, inventory tags, barcode labels, and more.

Media & Ribbon Handling

• Accepts media rolls up to 127 mm (5 in) outer diameter

• Supports 1″ core ribbons, with length up to 300 m

• Adjustable transmissive (gap) and reflective (black mark) sensors for different media types

• Easy front-loading mechanism makes media/ribbon changes quick and simple

Connectivity & Integration

The EZ-120 includes USB 2.0 interface for PC connection. For network or shared use, many variants are also available with optional network modules or serial ports (check SKU). It supports common printer languages (Godex, ZPL II emulation, etc.) to integrate with label design software such as BarTender, NiceLabel, and others.

Compact & Usable Design

With a compact desktop footprint, the EZ-120 is well suited for placement on work desks or packing stations. It features a clamshell design for easy media access, status LEDs, and a feed/pause button for manual label advancement.

Use Cases

• Shipping / logistics label printing

• Inventory / shelf labeling

• Retail pricing / barcode tagging

• Labelling of small parts, components, packaging

• Office asset tagging, file folder labeling

Considerations & Maintenance

• Because it uses 203 dpi, fine text or graphics may be less crisp than higher DPI models (e.g. 300 dpi)

• For maximum ribbon length use, ensure correct ribbon tension and media matching

• Use quality media and ribbon for consistent results and printhead longevity

• Clean printhead regularly to maintain print quality over time
