Honeywell Consumables

Posted June 23, 2023

honeywell consumables your guide to printers and supplies

Genuine consumables from Honeywell include labels, ribbons, RFID tags, and more for a wide variety of environments and labeling applications.

Depending on your needs, certain consumables and media may be a better choice than others. Here are some questions to consider for consumables, examples of different print media, and the latest Honeywell barcode label printers.

Genuine Consumables from Honeywell

Honeywell’s printer supplies are optimized for use with Honeywell printers, providing thermal printing solutions that simplify operations and lower total cost of ownership.

Whatever your print needs, ranging from barcode labels, media tags, and receipt paper to thermal media, RFID labels, and patient wristbands – using genuine Honeywell consumables and printer supplies allows for the very best performance.

Honeywell Barcode Label Printers

Honeywell’s latest industrial printers all improve operational productivity with minimal downtime. They print more labels at faster speeds, without compromising label quality or accuracy.

Many of the following printers can accomplish similar results and are highly recommended. Instead, we will point out the differences between Honeywell’s PM, PD, PX, and RP series.

For a personalized recommendation, don’t hesitate to contact us for assistance.

PXie Series Printers Should be Replaced with PX45 or PX65

Honeywell announced in May 2022 that it will be discontinuing the PX4ie and PX6ie series of printers.

Anyone planning to upgrade this year should now consider the new PX45 and PX65 printers instead, expected to be available in August 2022.

These are very similar in spec to the PXie series printers, but are even more rugged and future proof. Improvements in the PX45 and PX65 include:

  • Faster processing speed: CPU, FPGA and Motor controller upgrade
  • Larger memory size: 256MB/512MB RAM/Flash upgrade
  • RFID enhancement: new IM11 module included
  • Connectivity enhancement: Ethernet 10/100/1000, high speed USB included
  • All accessories compatible with PXie series printers

Both the PX45 and PX65 are durable, all-metal industrial printers, printing up to 12 inches per second from the first label to the last. Both printers boast at a resolution of 203 or 300 dpi, and the PX45 also has a resolution of 406 dpi. This is perfect for compliance labeling applications that need immediate results from dynamic datasets. The magnetic QuickMount™ printhead makes it easy and quick to change printheads.

Honeywell labels and other media are designed and tested with the PX45 and PX65 printers to make sure they work best with genuine Honeywell media.

PM45 and PD45 Printers

Both the PM45 and PD45 barcode label printers from Honeywell are worth a look for industrial and retail environments (especially the PD45s printer).

RP2e and RP4e Printers

By printing labels on demand, right where they’ll be used, this portable printer boosts efficiency and cuts down on mistakes. When compared to competing mobile printers, the RP4e’s advantages are clear: it has nearly twice the print speed media capacity, an improvement of one point in ANSI print quality, and superior battery power longevity thanks to our new Hi-drain battery.

This means that your employees will be able to get more done in less time without having to waste any of it waiting for media to load or changing batteries.

The RPe Series printer produces labels and receipts from 25.4 mm (1 in) to 104.1 mm (4.1 in) and supports a broad range of media, including the thick material required for hang tags and specialized labeling.

In addition, whether you’re working with a single media format or a combination of formats, the application’s quick and simple loading design means fewer interruptions and more productivity.

If you’re looking for long-range and lightning-fast data connectivity on your WL AN, look no farther than the RPe Series with its cutting-edge 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi capabilities. When employees need to print from locations outside of the WL AN’s range or use the printer with a Bluetooth mobile device, the printer’s built-in Bluetooth® 4.0 LE radio comes in handy at no extra cost. In addition, the printer supports NFC so that status and settings may be checked even when there is no access to the internet.

Both the RP2e and the RP4e printers from Honeywell are available now.

PX940 Printer

The powerhouse that is the PX940 still remains one of the best selling industrial label printers. See why the PX940 printer is chosen time and time again.

Order Honeywell Consumables with Our Label Picker Tool

If you are all set on printer hardware, you can order genuine Honeywell labels from Barcodes, Inc. directly. Many applications and sizes are available now. If you need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Posted June 20, 2023

The CubiScan 150 Scale improves inventory management, increases supply chain efficiency, and increases overall production, making it a great tool for firms looking to simplify operations and save money.

How Does the CubiScan 150 Scale Work?

The CubiScan 150 uses laser technology to scan and record the length, width, height, and weight of an object that is put on its measuring base.

Once object data is collected, it can be added to inventory management systems and shipping software to give exact and consistent information about how big and heavy goods are. To understand the best way to pack and ship items, ensure items follow shipping rules, and avoid common shipping mistakes, a CubiScan dimensioning system is an invaluable solution.

In addition, the CubiScan 150 can buffer thousands of data records, link to barcode scanning equipment, label printing devices, and interact directly (in batch or real-time mode) with your manifesting or warehouse management system.

The CubiScan 150 Scale has various advantages for a multi-use dimensioning system.

  • It’s compact in size.
  • It correctly measures and weighs things using modern volumetric scanning technology, delivering perfect measurements for packaging and shipping calculations.
  • It saves valuable warehouse space, lowers shipping costs, and decreases mistakes.
  • It has a user-friendly interface.
  • It’s simple to integrate with current systems.

Reasons to Consider a CubiScan 150

The CubiScan 150 is a tough piece of equipment, with a maximum measuring range of 39 x 40 x 48 inches (100 x 100 x 120 cm) and a net weight capacity of 150 lbs (70 kg).

The scale is accurate, with a measurement precision of 0.1 inch (0.2 cm) and a weight resolution of 0.05 pound (20 gram).

The CubiScan 150 is equipped with lockable casters, allowing it to be used in a fixed position or swiftly relocated and redeployed as needed.

Each device has a USB connector, two active serial communication ports, one serial printer port, and an Ethernet port for network connectivity and data transfer.
