Honeywell PC43D, PC43T, PC23D PC Series Desktop Printer User Manual

Designed for user-friendliness and flexibility, compact PC Series desktop printers provide an intuitive label printing solution. Available in two-inch wide direct thermal (PC23d), fourinch wide direct thermal (PC43d) or fourinch wide thermal transfer (PC43t) models, PC Series printers are perfect for spaceconstrained settings. Their low cost and fast operation make them the smart choice for light-duty labeling applications where users need reliable, easy-to-use printers.

PC Series printers were designed for quick set-up and trouble-free use. With a variety of placement options including wall-mounted and battery powered, these printers adapt to their environment and fit right in. Common printer tasks are simple and training needs are reduced, because PC Series printers come with either a universal icon interface or color LCD in 10 languages. It’s even possible to configure and update your printer on the spot, using a USB thumb drive – no computer necessary.

The PC43t thermal transfer printer supports both 12.7 mm (0.5 in) and 25.4 mm (1 in) ribbon cores. By accommodating larger ribbon lengths of up to 300 m (984 ft), the need for frequent media supply replenishment is reduced, eliminating downtime and hassle.

Considering the switch to the PC Series from another printer brand? With comprehensive command language support – including ZSim2, our fast, friendly and complete ZPL-II emulation – upgrading to the PC Series has never been simpler

Featuring innovative designs guided by customer input, PC Series printers are optimized for healthcare, retail and hospitality markets – as well as light- duty manufacturing, warehousing and general office duties.

With a wide variety of user-installable options, you can rest assured PC Series printers can grow as your business grows. Modular connectivity allows PC Series printers to fit into your existing network environment. USB comes standard along with options for user-installable serial, parallel, secure Ethernet and dual wireless card with Bluetooth® and CCX-compliant 802.11 b/g/n.
