Honeywell PC42E-D:
The Honeywell PC42e-D is an affordable direct thermal desktop printer for businesses that need networked shipping and receipt labelling without the cost of a mid-range printer. Parcel shops, post offices, retail counters, receiving docks, sorting lines and e-commerce shippers use it for shipping labels, price markdowns, receipts and returns. It prints without ribbons, so there are no extra supplies to buy, load or run out of.
Ribbon-Free Printing That Keeps Costs Down
- No ribbons to buy or change — Direct thermal printing uses only labels, cutting supply costs and setup time.
- Network-ready out of the box — Built-in Ethernet, USB and serial connect to a single PC, your network or older point-of-sale and shipping systems.
- Fits any counter — A compact footprint suits shipping stations, checkout counters and receiving desks.
- Sharp, scannable barcodes — Choose standard resolution for shipping labels, or high resolution for small text and dense 2D barcodes.
Grows With Your Workflow
Add Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for wireless printing, a peeler with label taken sensor to present one label at a time, or a cutter for receipts and tags. All three install in the field, so you can start simple and upgrade later.
Drops Into Your Existing Systems
The PC42e-D speaks ZPL-II, EPL and Intermec IPL emulation, so it can replace many existing Zebra or Intermec desktop printers without rewriting your label formats. It includes drivers for Windows, Linux and SAP®, and can be managed with Honeywell Printer Edge, Operational Intelligence and SOTI Connect.
Easy to Run Every Day
Status lights show printer, media and connection status at a glance, and the ECO button speeds up calibration and reduces wasted labels.
Choose the Right Configuration
- Black — The standard finish for shipping, warehouse and receiving areas.
- White — A clean finish suited to retail counters, post offices and customer-facing spaces.
- PC41e-D instead? — For a single USB-connected station with no need for network printing or upgrades, the lower-cost PC41e-D may be enough.
