PM43/PM43c/PM23c

Mid-Range Industrial Printers

The PM43 and even more compact PM43c Mid-Range

Industrial Printers deliver fast print speeds, drop-in

deployment, advanced connectivity and proven reliability.

Built to deliver maximum uptime, PM series printers are

available with either a tamper-proof color touchscreen in

10 languages, or a universal icon interface. This enables

immediate notifications through the printer interface, reducing

your workforce training and device support needs.

As one of the most "connected" industrial printers on

the market, the PM series feature Wi-Fi and Cisco® CCX

certifications, with additional Bluetooth® connectivity. Every

printer ships with Ethernet connectivity, as well as network

protocol IPv6, ensuring long-term enterprise scalability.

As a third-generation industrial printer platform, rugged PM

series printers incorporate features that increase uptime and

reduce maintenance costs. A strong, metal construction is

perfect for harsh industrial environments. And with Precision

Print, even the smallest barcodes and images can be printed with

pinpoint accuracy – no frequent media adjustments necessary.

Each PM43, PM43c and PM23c printer has an integrated

web interface that allows for easy setup, monitoring and

configuration through devices like handheld computers,

tablets or smartphones. Integrated device management

and diagnostic capabilities, provided through the

Honeywell SmartSystems™ Foundation and Wavelink

Avalanche®, reduce downtime and simplify deployment.

Considering the switch to Honeywell printers?
With comprehensive command language support,
including enhanced ZSim2 emulation, upgrading to
PM series has never been simpler.

With very fast print speeds up to 12 ips, you’ll gain a clear

productivity advantage. But performance isn’t about just

speed; it’s also about working smarter. The PM series printers

are intelligent, helping you to reduce labeling errors and

increase process efficiencies. In-printer apps, developed

with Honeywell C# for Printers, can directly control other

devices such as scanners, scales, keyboards and other

peripherals – without the need for an attached computer.

With their user-selectable, all-in-one programming

languages, PM series printers fit into most IT infrastructures,

deploying quickly into existing Honeywell or mixed printer

environments. And with comprehensive command language

support – including ZSim2, our fast, friendly and complete ZPL-II

emulation – upgrading to PM series has never been simpler.

The PM series printers are co-engineered and tested with

Honeywell Media Products, ensuring optimized printhead

performance when used with genuine Honeywell media.
