Intermec EasyCoder PD42 Barcode Label Printer Model Overview
The Intermec EasyCoder PD42 is a dependable and versatile printer suitable for medium duty applications in manufacturing, transportation and warehousing environments. With all-metal chassis and covers, proven printing mechanics and powerful electronics, it provides the sturdiness and performance your business depends on. The EasyCoder PD42 is the first Intermec printer to feature a monochrome, graphical display, which allows users to set up, configure and fine tune printing parameters without having to send commands through the host, saving time. The display working in concert with the status lights provides the user specific feedback if the printer is in an off-line state. The ability to use any Intermec printer language and emulate other printer protocols makes the EasyCoder PD42 both fully compatible with other Intermec equipment and a cost-effective "drop-in" printer replacement in almost any non-Intermec firmware environment.
Smart, strong and secure, the PD42 with full graphic display interface meets the needs of medium duty applications. Its multiple communication interfaces, secure wireless connectivity, CCX and support for IPv6 ensure easy integration and scalability. Stand alone Smart Printing eliminates PC costs and complexity and enables quick ROI.
