Mobile direct-thermal label printer

The Intermec PB42 is a 203 dpi mobile printer built for on-demand receipt and label production up to 4.39 inches wide. It suits warehouse staff, field-service engineers and retail workers who need a portable direct-thermal device without an internal battery.

Serial USB Bluetooth connectivity with LCD

A serial port, USB link and Bluetooth radio sit alongside an integrated LCD, letting operators switch between tethered and wireless workflows on the spot. The unit ships with a 12 V 4.0 A AC adapter, so it runs from mains power wherever a socket is available.

203 dpi resolution decides label clarity

At 203 x 203 dpi the PB42 renders standard barcodes and text legibly for shipping labels and receipts. Buyers who need finer graphics or small-font compliance labels will find this resolution insufficient.

Questions about this item

What interfaces does the Intermec PB42 support and what limits the throughput?

The PB42 connects via Serial, USB and Bluetooth; practical speed is capped by the Serial and USB links, while Bluetooth adds wireless convenience for mobile use.

What physical space and mounting does the PB42 need for 4.39" labels?

The printer accepts media up to 4.39 inches wide, so allow enough clearance for that roll width plus room for the AC adapter cable and any mounting bracket you choose.

How is the PB42 installed and what step is often missed?

Connect the supplied 12 V 4.0 A AC adapter, load direct-thermal media, pair or cable the chosen interface, then run a test print — skipping the test print often leaves misaligned labels unnoticed.
