The PXie Series of industrial printers from Honeywell are crafted to meet the needs of applications that must work all the time. These tough printers have advanced connectivity and network protocols, giving you peace of mind today and a reliable, scalable solution for the long term.

The durable, all-metal PXie printers work very well, printing up to 12 inches per second from the first label to the last. They also have features that cut down on downtime and maintenance costs.

Both the PX4ie and PX6ie have a resolution of 203 or 300 dpi, and the PX4ie also has a resolution of 406 dpi, which lets you print labels with great detail without slowing down. This is perfect for compliance labeling applications that need immediate results from constantly changing data inputs.

The smart design features of the PXie printers help increase productivity in tough environments. As Smart Printers, they can run stand-alone programs made with the Fingerprint and C# programming languages. This helps cut down on mistakes and speed up operational processes.

The device management and diagnostic features of the printers, which are available in web-based PrintSet Configuration Management and will soon be available in AirWatch®, SOTITM, and Operational Intelligence, reduce downtime and make deployment easier.

The magnetic QuickMountTM printhead makes it easy and quick to change printheads. Honeywell labels and other media are designed and tested with the PXie printers to make sure they work best when used with genuine Honeywell media.

Both the PX4ie and PX6ie barcode label printers are ready for anything. Additional benefits include:

• The small, modular architecture of the PXie printers simplifies their incorporation into automated labeling applications
• Smart Printers can eliminate the PC and directly operate other equipment (such as scanners, scales, and applicators), so increasing productivity and reducing infrastructure costs and complication
• With user-selectable, all-in-one printer command languages (DP/FP, IPL, ZSim, and DPL), the PXie printers allow rapid deployment and drop-in compatibility in mixed printer settings
• Every printer ships with Ethernet connectivity and IPv6 network protocol, ensuring business scalability over the long run. Multiple interface choices, including the most secure wireless communication, are available (WPA2)

Honeywell’s new industrial printer, the PD45S, is designed for manufacturing, retail, transportation & logistics, healthcare, and government applications.

The PD45S is equipped with standard features such as smart printing functionality, which allows users to customize and fine-tune settings without a host computer by running apps directly within the printer — minimizing the need to connect to a PC.

With Honeywell’s print platform that supports many print languages, the PD45S is a viable option to the market’s other printers.

Uniquely constructed with minimal internal mechanical components and an all-metal frame, PD45S is strong and long-lasting. This offers our printer a robust, compact, and streamlined appearance, making it suited for usage in a variety of environments and applications.

Users may easily monitor the state of the printer and its consumables via a large glass window. A side aperture facilitates loading of ribbon and paper. This is also where used liners may be collected and removed with ease.

The PD45S is powered by an 800MHz Arm Cortex-A7 processor, 128MB of RAM, and 128MB of DDR3 SDRAM. It has a sophisticated industrial print head that enables both direct thermal printing and thermal transfer printing.

Unique dual sensor positioning technology from Honeywell enables a dynamic positioning feature that guarantees a minimum label height of 5 mm and vertical position precision of 0.5 mm.

Two sets of adjustable pressure bars and two media guides provide correct paper feeding and prevent ribbon wrinkling and printing grime.

The print head may be simply swapped out and replaced due to its extremely ergonomic design. The front sensor that enables precise printing may also be simply removed to facilitate rubber roller cleaning and replacement. The PD45S supports numerous printer command languages, including FP/DP/IPL/ZPL/DPL, one-key driver installation, and simple Windows configuration.

The PD45S supports wireless network interface card, parallel interface card, labeling machine interface card, industrial GPIO, and serial interface card. Additionally, the PD45S comes with a variety of accessories. In addition, it incorporates assembly for peeling, rewinding, and cutting to accommodate a vast array of application scenarios.

Jeff Hudson – Barcodes Group

Matt Seltz – Zebra Technologies

Reduce Shipping Chargebacks with Integrated RFID Portal Solutions from Zebra and Barcodes

When your inventory is hard to identify or locate in the warehouse, it leads to incomplete, inaccurate, or delayed shipments. The annual cost of chargebacks due to mistakes in shipping is estimated to be $36B.

Reading RFID tags as they pass through portals or chokepoints is quickly becoming the most efficient and effective means of automating inventory and asset tracking.

Easy to implement and support, Zebra’s new Integrated RFID Portals easily validate shipments as they are loaded on or unloaded from trucks.

During this webinar, we discuss the following ways in which RFID increases shipment accuracy:

• Why RFID drastically reduces the need for human intervention and manual scanning
• What steps companies take to reach a 25% efficiency increase with RFID
• How Zebra’s new Integrated RFID Portals monitor inventory, control costs, and optimize workflows
