DesktopG500 / EZ / RT700 Desktop 4-inch
The Godex RT730x is a desktop thermal transfer and direct thermal printer, one of 12 models in the G500 / EZ / RT700 Desktop 4-inch range. Ribbons run up to 981 ft, 4.33" wide, on a 1" core. Media loads as rolls up to 5" in diameter on cores of 1" / 1.5". It prints up to 4.16" wide and takes media up to 4.64". That is a narrower head than the 4.25" the rest of the G500 / EZ / RT700 Desktop 4-inch range carries, the usual sign of a higher-resolution print head. Its documented media path is roll-fed only, with no fanfold slot.

Godex RT730x — Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Godex RT730x need a ribbon to print?
The Godex RT730x 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.
What ribbon width and length fit the Godex RT730x?
The Godex RT730x takes thermal transfer ribbons up to 4.33" wide, up to 981 ft (299 m) long, on a 1" core. Wax suits coated paper labels, wax-resin handles synthetics and heavier handling, and full resin is the choice for chemical, solvent and outdoor exposure.
What is the maximum label width for the Godex RT730x?
The Godex RT730x accepts media up to 4.64" 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.
What size label rolls fit inside the Godex RT730x?
The Godex RT730x takes rolls on 1" / 1.5" cores, with a maximum roll diameter of 5". 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 Godex RT730x 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 Godex RT730x 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 Godex RT730x take 3-inch core rolls?
No. The Godex RT730x takes 1" / 1.5" cores. A 3" core roll — the usual industrial format — will not fit its spindle, so check the core before ordering, not just the label size.
Where can I buy labels and ribbons for the Godex RT730x in Canada?
Vantage Labels stocks blank thermal labels and printer ribbons that fit the Godex RT730x, 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.
