Honeywell PC42E-D Direct Thermal Label Printer

Print heat-sensitive labels with a direct thermal desktop printer that does not require a thermal-transfer ribbon. The Honeywell PC42E-D uses a 203 dpi printhead for readable barcodes, text, and graphics on compatible direct thermal media. Its black enclosure suits counter, packing-bench, receiving, and back-office label-printing locations where a compact wired printer is needed. USB, Ethernet, and serial interfaces provide connection choices for different workstation and network layouts. Connect through USB for a local operator station, use Ethernet where the printer must be available on a wired network, or connect through the serial port where existing equipment requires serial communication. The included US power cord supports deployment with North American power outlets. PC42EDB020201 identifies the direct thermal configuration of the PC42E-D platform. Direct thermal operation distinguishes it from ribbon-based label printing workflows: printing occurs by applying heat to the label material itself. This makes the printer appropriate for applications that use direct thermal labels, including shipping labels, short-term inventory labels, receiving labels, and retail price-marking tasks. The 203 dpi resolution provides the print detail expected for standard barcode and text label formats without adding unnecessary printhead resolution for routine label output.
