Product Introduction
Thank you very much for purchasing a Wasp Barcode printer.
The WPL308 series of thermal transfer desktop barcode printers supports more printing
applications than any other printer in its class. With three models available, the four inch
wide WPL308 series can address everything from higher volume 4x6 shipping labels,
higher resolution product marking and graphic solutions, to high resolution labels used in
electronics marking applications.
The printers use a large 300 meter ribbon supply on a one inch core that saves both time
and money. The WPL308 series features a user-friendly spring-loaded center-biased
clamshell design for easy drop-in media loading of 5-inch rolls of media. The printer
construction features a rugged double-wall design that is stronger and more durable than
other thermal transfer mechanisms on the market. Its strong motor is powerful enough to
handle a 300-meter-long ribbon.
As with all Wasp Barcode printers, the WPL308 Series features the WPL-EZ™ printer-
control language, which is fully compatible with other Wasp Barcode printer languages,
while supporting TPLE (Translation Printer Language Eltron®) and TPLZ (Translation
Printer Language Zebra®). The languages automatically decipher and translate the format
of each label as it is sent to the printer. WPL-EZ™ also features internal scalable True
Type fonts (based on the Monotype® font engine), which are typically found only in more
expensive printers. Applications:
