Honeywell PC42e-T Desktop Thermal Transfer Label Printer

Product Code / MPN: PC42E-TB02200 (Black)
Brand: Honeywell

Bring reliable, heavy-duty printing to your dispatch desk, warehouse floor, or retail stockroom with the Honeywell PC42e-T. This compact desktop label maker is designed for businesses that need to produce crisp courier shipping labels, inventory tracking tags, or price stickers day after day. Its compact footprint means it sits comfortably in tight workspaces while still offering the rugged build needed for daily industrial use.

The PC42e-T supports both thermal transfer printing (using an ink ribbon for long-lasting, smudge-resistant labels) and direct thermal printing (printing directly onto heat-sensitive rolls without ink), allowing you to adapt to any labelling task.

Please Note: This specific manufacturer model number does not include a mains power cord in the box. You will need to supply or purchase a compatible power lead separately.

Key Features That Make Printing Simple

• Shared Network Connectivity: Built with both Ethernet and standard USB 2.0 ports, allowing you to share the machine across multiple office computers over your network router or connect it directly to one station.

• Large Ribbon Capacity: Supports thermal transfer ink ribbons up to 300 metres long (on a standard 1-inch core), which means fewer stops throughout the day to change consumables.

• Clear, Scan-Ready Labels: Features a 203 dpi print resolution that ensures intricate barcodes, small product details, and courier tracking data look sharp and read perfectly on handheld scanners.

• Fast Turnaround for Busy Workdays: Reaches print speeds of up to 152mm per second (6 inches per second) to help you clear through massive batches of shipping labels during peak order times.

• Easy-to-Read Status Window: Designed with a clear visual interface and action button, making it straightforward to check your media status, calibrate label sheets, or pause your print runs instantly.
