Desktop Printers

Designed for user-friendliness and flexibility, compact PC Series

desktop printers provide an intuitive label printing solution. Available

in two-inch wide direct thermal (PC23d), four-inch wide direct thermal

(PC43d) or four-inch wide thermal transfer (PC43t) models, PC Series

printers are perfect for space-constrained settings. Their low cost

and fast operation make them the smart choice for light-duty labeling

applications where users need reliable, easy-to-use printers.

PC Series printers were designed for quick set-up and trouble-free

use. With a variet y of placement options including wall-mounted and

battery-powered, these printers adapt to their environment and fit right

in. Common printer tasks are simple and training needs are reduced,

because PC Series printers come with either a universal icon interface or

color LCD in 10 languages. It's even possible to configure and update your

printer on the spot, using a USB thumbdrive – no computer necessary.

Featuring innovative designs guided by

customer input, PC Series printers are

optimized for healthcare, retail and hospitality

markets – as well as light-duty manufacturing,

warehousing and general of fice duties.

The PC43t thermal transfer printer supports both 12.7 mm (0.5 in)

and 25.4 mm (1 in) ribbon cores. By accommodating larger ribbon

lengths of up to 300 m (984 ft), the need for frequent media supply

replenishment is reduced, eliminating downtime and hassle.

Considering the switch to the PC Series from another printer

brand? With comprehensive command language support –

including ZSim2, our fast, friendly and complete ZPLII emulation

– upgrading to the PC Series has never been simpler.

With a wide variety of user-installable options, you can rest assured

PC Series printers can grow as your business grows. Modular
