Features:

Printing Performance

• Printing Technology: Utilizes direct thermal printing, offering a cost-effective solution for printing labels that don't require extreme durability. Direct thermal labels are ideal for applications where labels are used for shorter durations or aren't exposed to harsh elements.
• Print Resolution: Delivers a print resolution of 203 dpi (dots per inch), suitable for printing clear and legible text, barcodes, and logos.
• Print Speed: Offers a print speed of up to 5 inches (203.2 mm) per second, making it efficient for handling moderate printing volumes.

Media Handling

• Maximum Print Width: Accommodates media with a maximum width of 4 inches (110 mm), allowing for printing a wider variety of label sizes.
• Maximum Print Length: Can handle labels with a maximum print length of up to 39 inches (991 mm), catering to longer labels if needed.
• Media Loading: Features a user-friendly clamshell design for simple and convenient media loading.

Connectivity and User Interface

• Connectivity Options: Provides multiple connectivity options including:
  • USB 2.0 for direct connection to a PC.
  • Optional user-installable modules for additional connectivity like Ethernet for network printing, RS-232 serial for legacy systems, or even parallel for older computer setups. This flexibility ensures compatibility with various network configurations and existing equipment.
• User Interface: Offers two user interface options depending on the model variant:
  • Ten-language LCD: This option provides a clear and intuitive menu for printer configuration, monitoring print jobs, and accessing status information. It supports displaying menus and messages in ten languages for wider user accessibility.
  • Universal Icon Interface: This interface uses a set of universal icons to represent common printer functions. While not as feature-rich as the LCD, it simplifies operation for users who don't require complex configurations and are familiar with icon-based interfaces.

Additional Features

• Memory: Includes a limited amount of internal memory for storing basic settings and potentially a few frequently used label formats.
• Smart Printing Capability: This feature allows users to run applications directly on the printer using a USB flash drive. This can be helpful for automating repetitive printing tasks without needing a constant PC connection.
• Flexible Design: The PC43d boasts a modular design with user-installable options for connectivity and accessories. This allows users to customize the printer to their specific needs and expand its functionality as required.
• Language Support: Supports common printer command languages like ZSim2 (a Zebra emulation language), ensuring compatibility with various label design software.
• Honeywell Utility Software: Honeywell offers a suite of software tools for printer setup, configuration, and label design, simplifying the overall printing process.
