Why the G500

203 dpi labels on mixed media, with or without ribbon

The G500 is the 203 dpi model of Godex's G500 Series; the G530 is the 300 dpi model. It prints on thermal transfer ribbon or on direct thermal media, and Godex lists it as a current model.

Ribbon or no ribbon

It prints by thermal transfer (wax, wax/resin or resin ribbon) or by direct thermal on heat-sensitive labels. One 300 m ribbon runs on a 25.4 mm core, in widths of 30 to 110 mm.

Two sensors for different media

An adjustable reflective sensor and two fixed transmissive sensors read gap labels, black marks and punched holes, and the printer also takes continuous media. Label length is set by auto-sensing or in the program.

Wide range of label stock

Media from 25.4 to 118 mm wide and 0.06 to 0.25 mm thick, on rolls up to 127 mm in outer diameter with 25.4, 38.1 or 76.2 mm cores. An external holder for 250 mm rolls is an option.

Prints up to 1,727 mm long

At 203 dpi the print length runs from 4 mm to 1,727 mm (68 in), so the same printer handles small tags and long labels.

Works with your label software

The printer switches between EZPL, GEPL, GZPL and GDPL by itself. Godex provides GoLabel II label design software (EZPL only), Windows, Mac and Linux drivers and an SDK for Windows, Android, Mac and iOS.

Dispensing and cutting options

Godex lists a cutter, a peel-off label dispenser, an external label roll holder and an external rewinder as options.

For buyers in India

Using the G500 in India

These are the points buyers in India ask us about the G500. Mention the ones that apply to you when you request a quote.

MRP labels on the G500, tested on your roll

The G500 prints at 8 dots/mm. For retail packs, ask us to set up the MRP, net-quantity and date lines in your label format and print test labels on your roll.

Prints a 4 × 6 shipping label in 1.22 s

The G500 prints a 4 × 6 inch (101.6 × 152.4 mm) shipping label in about 1.22 s, near 2,900 an hour of print time. That label fits the G500's 108 mm print width and 118 mm media limit. At the rated 127 mm/s, a 152.4 mm label with a 3 mm gap needs about 1.22 s of print time; Godex notes top speed depends on the media. A 300 m ribbon covers about 1,900 such labels.

Prints EAN-13, GS1 DataBar and QR codes

Use a 3-dot module (0.375 mm) for EAN-13 on the G500. It prints EAN-13, EAN-128, GS1 DataBar, Data Matrix, PDF417 and QR Code.

Keep it below 40 °C; stabilise high mains

Keep the G500 in a cooled or ventilated room in summer, and use a stabiliser where mains runs above 240 V. Godex rates it for 5 to 40 °C and 30-85% humidity, non-condensing, on an external 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz supply. That supply outputs 24 VDC, 2.5 A, so size any UPS from its rating.

Questions buyers ask

G500 FAQ

What is the price of the Godex G500 in India?

The G500 price depends on the options you add and the quantity. We can quote the labels and ribbon with it. We do not publish prices: share the model, quantity and city, and we send a written quotation with current pricing and delivery time, replying within one working day.

G500 or G530: which one should we buy?

They are the same printer at two print resolutions. The G500 prints at 203 dpi, up to 127 mm/s and up to 108 mm wide. The G530 prints at 300 dpi, up to 102 mm/s and up to 105.7 mm wide. Choose the G530 for small text, small QR or Data Matrix codes and fine detail. Choose the G500 for shipping, case pack and price labels at higher speed.

We use a Godex EZ1100 Plus. Should we move to the G500?

Godex ended the EZ1100 Plus on 31 December 2018 and names the G500 and G530 as its replacements. Choose the G500 for 203 dpi or the G530 for 300 dpi. Both are current Godex models and take 300 m ribbons. Check that your label software uses a language the G500 supports (EZPL, GEPL, GZPL or GDPL).

Does the G500 come with Ethernet?

Not on every build. Godex lists a USB 2.0 build and a build with USB 2.0, RS-232 and Ethernet 10/100 on its product pages. Godex's product page also mentions a USB with parallel combination. Tell us whether your billing or warehouse system needs a network connection, a serial port or USB only, and ask for the matching build in your quotation request.

Can the G500 print without a ribbon?

Yes. It is a thermal transfer and direct thermal printer. With a ribbon it prints on ordinary label stock; without one it prints on direct thermal labels that darken under heat. Direct thermal suits short-life labels such as shipping labels. Use thermal transfer with wax, wax/resin or resin ribbon where the label must resist rubbing, heat or chemicals.

Which label sizes and rolls does the G500 take?

Media from 25.4 to 118 mm wide and 0.06 to 0.25 mm thick, with a printable width of 108 mm. Rolls can be up to 127 mm in outer diameter on 25.4, 38.1 or 76.2 mm cores. For larger 250 mm rolls Godex offers an external label roll holder. The ribbon is 300 m long and 30 to 110 mm wide.

Can Allmark install the G500 and connect it to our software?

Yes. We install the G500 at your site, connect it so your ERP, warehouse or billing software prints to it (our own warehouse management system included) and train the people who use it. Tell us the software when you ask for a quote, and we include the setup in the quotation.
