Industrial Label Printer
The Honeywell PM42 mid-range industrial label printer is designed 
for maximum reliability and uptime. With a durable construction and 
an intuitive, user-friendly interface, it’s ideal for distribution center, 
warehouse, manufacturing, transportation and retail environments.
Unlike competitive printers that incorporate plastic components, the 
PM42 printer features an all-metal, die-cast aluminum construction 
for enhanced durability and reliabilit y in the harshest industrial 
environments. With a magnetic quick-mount printhead – designed for 
quick removal without tools – and an easily removable print roller – the 
PM42 printer minimizes downtime and reduces maintenance costs.
With a full-color, graphical display including 9 user-selectable languages, 
the PM42 is intuitive and easy to use, reducing your workforce training 
and device support needs. And workers can easily manage their 
printing jobs from nearby or afar with the printer’s integrated web 
interface, which enables easy setup, monitoring and configuration 
through mobile devices including tablets and smartphones. 
The PM42 printer provides fast, high-volume industrial thermal 
printing, making it an affordable choice for organizations printing 
5,00015,000 labels per day. With its class-leading print speeds up 
to 300 mm/s (12 ips), you’ll gain a clear productivity advantage. And 
with its Smart Printing technology – delivered through Honeywell 
C# for Printers and Fingerprint – you can run apps, print labels and 
The Honey well PM42 label printer incorporates 
class-leading industrial printing, superior 
durability and rich features into an 
affordable and easy-to-use package.
even control other devices directly from the 
printer, without the need for a connected PC. 
The user-selectable, all-in-one programming 
language included in every PM42 
printer enables it to fit easily into most IT 
infrastructures, deploying quickly into existing 
Honeywell or mixed printer environments.
