Product Description

Built for Zebra's 6-inch wide-format workhorse

The Zebra 170Xi3 / 170PAX4 printhead (Part No. G46500M family) drives one of the widest Thermal Transfer platforms in Zebra's industrial line, laying down label and pallet formats up to 168 mm wide. It restores the uniform density wide labels need to scan reliably at distance.

Wide-head reliability for print-and-apply duty

Because the wide element covers far more media, dot energy consistency matters more than on a 4-inch head. Each Codewel unit is 100% tested on a live printer so every element across the width is verified before dispatch - particularly important for PAX4 print-and-apply lines where a bad label stops the conveyor.

Main Features

✔ Wide 168 mm print coverage
Matched to the 170Xi3 / 170PAX4 carriage, supporting the large pallet and drum-label formats narrower heads cannot produce.
✔ Even density across the full width
Uniform dot energy from edge to edge keeps barcodes scannable even at the extremes of a wide label.
✔ Ceramic construction for long industrial runs
Protective glaze and ceramic substrate tolerate continuous thermal cycling and abrasive media in 24/7 operation.
✔ Tested on a live printer before dispatch
Every head is bench-tested, so you receive a verified unit rather than one that merely looks unused.

Product Applications

Pallet & logistics labels

Large-format shipping case labels, SSCC pallet marks and GS1 barcodes wide enough to scan at distance.

Chemical & industrial drum labelling

GHS compliance labels and hazard pictograms that must stay legible outdoors and after chemical exposure.

Production line print-and-apply

Automated PAX4 lines labelling cartons at speed, where consistent density prevents scan failure downstream.

FAQ

Q: Is this the right head for both the 170Xi3 and 170PAX4?
A: Yes, G46500M family heads serve both platforms. Confirm the dpi on your unit first, since 203 dpi and 300 dpi versions take different heads.
Q: Can I use it on a narrower machine like the 110Xi4?
A: No. The 170Xi3 head is physically wider and electrically different. Narrower-format machines take the P1004230 or P1004232 instead.
Q: Why do wide heads seem to fail sooner?
A: Wider elements run hotter and cover more media, so incorrect darkness settings accelerate wear. If you are seeing premature failure, we can review your settings and media choice.
Q: How fast can you ship?
A: MOQ is 1 PCS and we ship globally. Contact us with your model and dpi and we will confirm stock and lead time.
