Industrial desktop barcode printer

The Intermec PD43 is a new desktop barcode and label printer that supports both direct thermal and thermal transfer printing. It produces black-and-white output at a maximum resolution of 203 x 203 dpi and connects via a USB 2.0 interface. The unit includes a power cord and operates on a 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz supply.

Small businesses and light industrial labelling

This printer suits operations that need reliable desktop labelling for shipping, inventory or asset tags using either thermal method. Buyers who require higher print resolution for small 2D codes or graphics should look elsewhere. Environments needing network, serial or wireless connectivity will need a different model. High-volume continuous duty cycles are beyond the design intent of this desktop unit.

203 dpi print resolution decides suitability

The fixed 203 dpi resolution determines whether barcodes, text and graphics meet your scannability and detail requirements. If your labels demand finer density for small labels or dense symbologies, this specification makes the PD43 unsuitable. Match the resolution to your label size and scanner capabilities before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Do I need to supply my own labels and thermal-transfer ribbon for the PD43?

Yes, the printer ships without labels or ribbons; you must provide media that matches the 203 dpi direct-thermal or thermal-transfer application.

Will the USB 2.0 port on the PD43 work with my older PC that only has USB 1.1?

The USB 2.0 interface is backward-compatible, so it will communicate over a USB 1.1 port at the lower speed.

How can I confirm the PD43 printhead is functioning correctly after I install it?

Run a self-test print; the output should show clean bars and text with no missing lines or dead pixels at 203 dpi.
