cab EOS 2 mobile Labels & Ribbons

Industrial

EOS Series

The cab EOS 2 mobile is an industrial thermal transfer and direct thermal printer, one of 4 models in the EOS Series range. Media loads as rolls up to 5.98" in diameter on cores of 1.5" / 3". Ribbons run up to 1,181 ft, 4.49" wide, on a 1" core. It prints up to 4.16" wide and takes media up to 4.72". That is a narrower head than the 4.25" the rest of the EOS Series range carries, the usual sign of a higher-resolution print head. Its documented media path is roll-fed only, with no fanfold slot.

cab EOS 2 mobile — Frequently Asked Questions

What printing method does the cab EOS 2 mobile use?

The cab EOS 2 mobile does both. In thermal transfer mode it prints through a ribbon for durable, long-life labels; in direct thermal mode it prints straight onto heat-sensitive stock with no ribbon at all, which is how most shipping labels are produced.

Which thermal transfer ribbons fit the cab EOS 2 mobile?

The cab EOS 2 mobile takes thermal transfer ribbons up to 4.49" wide, up to 1,181 ft (360 m) long, on a 1" core, wound either coated side in or out. Wax suits coated paper labels, wax-resin handles synthetics and heavier handling, and full resin is the choice for chemical, solvent and outdoor exposure.

Which label sizes can the cab EOS 2 mobile print?

The cab EOS 2 mobile accepts media up to 4.72" wide, with a maximum print width of 4.16". Any narrower label will run as well, so long as the roll core and outside diameter also fit the media bay — width alone is not enough.

Which roll cores and diameters suit the cab EOS 2 mobile?

The cab EOS 2 mobile takes rolls on 1.5" / 3" cores, with a maximum roll diameter of 5.98". A roll on a larger core will not seat on the spindle, and one over the diameter limit will not let the cover close.

Can the cab EOS 2 mobile print 4" × 6" shipping labels?

Yes — 4" × 6" sits inside this printer's media width, and it prints them as direct thermal with no ribbon, which is the standard setup for courier and marketplace labels.

Does the cab EOS 2 mobile take fanfold labels?

Its published media list covers roll-fed stock only, with no external fanfold path documented. If you are running fanfold today, check with us before ordering — some models gained a rear slot in later revisions.

Does the cab EOS 2 mobile take 3-inch core rolls?

Yes — 3" cores are the industrial standard and the cab EOS 2 mobile is built for them, which is what lets it hold the large-diameter rolls that keep reload stops down.

Where can I buy labels and ribbons for the cab EOS 2 mobile in Canada?

Vantage Labels stocks blank thermal labels and printer ribbons that fit the cab EOS 2 mobile, shipped from Canadian stock. Everything listed on this page has been checked against the printer's published media specifications — width, core, roll diameter and ribbon format — rather than matched on the printer's name.
