Available in either 12.7 mm (½ in) or 25.4 mm (1 in) ribbon core configurations, the PC42d supports media as wide as 110 mm (4.3 in) and fits right into existing printing environments. The 25.4 mm configuration is compatible with ribbon lengths up to 300 m (984ft) — more than four times the length of competitive offerings. With support for longer ribbons, downtime is reduced and ribbons can be shared with larger printers to provide increased media flexibility.

The PC42d includes broad, industry standard connectivity. Up to four ports are built-in: standard USB device and USB host, plus optional serial or serial+Ethernet. With a user-installable USB-to-parallel cable, the PC42d easily drops into virtually any environment. With its compact size, common media specifications, and support for ZPL-II and EPL emulation, along with Honeywell’s popular Direct Protocol (DP), the PC42t provides an easy upgrade path from a variety of legacy Intermec and competitive printers.

With its affordable price and modern features, the PC42d represents a smart solution for the small or medium business looking to improve productivity in label making operations.

Economical to purchase and use, the PC42d is also a great choice for those looking to deploy thermal label printing for the first time, or for those transitioning away from more expensive inkjet- or laser-based label printing methods.
