Honeywell PD45 Desktop Printer for Retail Applications: First Look
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.
