4” Desktop Printer

Based on more than 40 years of bar code printing innovations, the

PC42t Plus desktop printer sets new standards for user-friendliness

and affordabilit y. Exceptionally compact and easy to use, this

Available in either 12.7 mm (½ in) or 25.4 mm (1 in) ribbon core

configurations, the PC42t Plus suppor ts media as wide as 110 mm

(4.3 in) and fits right into existing printing environments. The 25.4 mm

configuration is compatible with ribbon lengths up to 300 m (984

ft)—more than four times the length of competitive of ferings. With

support for longer ribbons, downtime is reduced and ribbons can be

streamlined PC42t Plus is an economical

choice for media up to 110 mm (4.3 in) wide.

With its affordable price and modern features, the PC42t Plus represents

a smart solution for the small or medium business looking to improve

productivit y in label making operations.

Economical to purchase and use, the PC42t Plus is also a

great choice for those looking to deploy thermal label printing

for the first time, or for those transitioning away from more

expensive inkjet- or laser-based label printing methods.
