The Honeywell PC42E-D is a fast 4-inch direct thermal desktop printer for shipping labels, receipts, tags and price markdowns – no ribbon needed. It prints at up to 8 ips (203 mm/s), comes with USB, Ethernet and RS-232 serial as standard, and can be upgraded with Wi-Fi 5 + Bluetooth, a cutter or a peeler. This version, PC42EDW020200, comes in a white housing with a 203 dpi print head; it ships with a power supply and a USB cable – the power cord (C13) is ordered separately.
