Built on the Honeywell print platform, the durable PM45 printer offers print speeds of up to 14 ips. With print registration of up to +/-0.5 mm, the PM45 printer can ensure high-quality prints for barcodes, texts, and images, even on small electronic components and medical device labels.
As a highly connected industrial printer, the PM45 is packed with enhanced WWAN connectivity to enable deployment with minimal limitation from site network topology. The PM45 printer's versatility allows the user to incorporate RFID, parallel, industrial, and applicator interfaces to address unpredictable future business needs. To help your transformation to intelligent manufacturing and supply chain management, the PM45 printer supports variable network protocols and multiple print languages to enable easy integration into your system, whether it is cloud-based or on a local server.
Embedded with Honeywell's Smart Parse software, the PM45 allows for quick position changes, sizing of objects and barcodes, or font type on labels, without the need for backend system changes or programming skills. With Honeywell's Operational Intelligence software, users can remotely manage and monitor the PM45 printer's diagnostics and output performance. The PM45 supports a wide range of media - including ink-in and ink-out ribbons with a 1-inch core size - enhancing the time between media resupplies.
The PM45 printer is an ideal replacement for existing Honeywell or mixed printers, especially with Honeywell's firmware platform supporting multiple print languages. A rugged, all-metal print mechanism, easy printhead, and tool-free platen roller replacement helps minimize downtime and maintenance needs.
What connectivity options does the Honeywell PM45A support?
The Honeywell PM45A features enhanced WWAN connectivity that enables deployment with minimal limitation from site network topology, along with Ethernet connectivity for flexible integration into your warehouse or manufacturing environment. This dual connectivity approach allows for 24/7 data communication and real-time visibility of critical printing data from a wide range of locations, making it ideal for distributed operations.
Can I make label design changes without reprogramming the system?
Yes, the PM45A includes embedded Honeywell Smart Parse software that simplifies last-minute changes by allowing you to quickly adjust position, sizing of objects and barcodes, and font types directly on the printer without requiring changes to your backend system or additional programming. This capability significantly reduces downtime and increases production flexibility for your operation.
What print resolution and speed does the PM45A offer?
The PM45A delivers 203 DPI print resolution with 8 inches per second (IPS) printing speed, providing high-quality barcode and label output suitable for industrial applications. This combination of resolution and speed makes it well-suited for high-volume printing in demanding warehouse and manufacturing environments.
Is the PM45A suitable for harsh industrial environments?
Yes, the PM45A is specifically designed for high-quality label printing in harsh industrial environments with industrial-grade construction and thermal transfer printing technology. It includes a label taken sensor and fixed hanger configuration for reliable, continuous operation in demanding conditions like food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and distribution centers.
What management and monitoring capabilities does the PM45A provide?
The PM45A includes Operational Intelligence MDM tools that provide predictive analytics and real-time data on printer health, while also supporting SOTI and PrintSet MC management platforms. These capabilities enable you to monitor printer performance, anticipate maintenance needs, and optimize your printing operations across multiple locations.
What makes the PM45A different from earlier Honeywell printer models?
The PM45A is the first industrial printer in its class with WWAN connectivity designed specifically for M2M and IoT applications, offering a scalable and upgradable solution that minimizes future business constraints. Combined with its embedded Smart Parse software and common security-managed platform, it provides enhanced flexibility and security compared to previous industrial printer generations available from us.
