NOW THESE MARKETS AND
APPLICATIONS CAN BENEFIT FROM
MOBILE PRINTING
The easy-to-wear and -carry Zebra P4T mobile printer is ideal for
indoor and outdoor applications in government, manufacturing,
transportation and logistics, mobile field service and healthcare.
MANUFACTURING/TRANSPORTATION
& LOGISTICS THERMAL TRANSFER
APPLICATIONS
You likely already use a thermal transfer tabletop
printer in your operations because your printed labels
need to stay readable and scannable long-term. You
apply these long-lasting labels to items that must
move through a long supply chain, endure long
storage times, and/or encounter harsh or outdoor
environments. Now you can extend the functionality
of your thermal transfer stationary printer to print
labels precisely where they need to be applied. When
you print labels on the spot and on demand with
the rugged P4T mobile printer, you improve worker
productivity by saving steps to and from a centralized
printer. And you improve accuracy by ensuring the
right label is applied to the right item.
Typical Uses
The P4T mobile printer finds a ready home in
manufacturing plants and warehouses; retail store
warehouses, outdoor garden centers, and distribution
centers; and third party logistics warehouses.
Manufacturing and warehousing
• Receiving—inventory labeling
• Shipping—apply labels to items as they’re picked,
even from a forklift
• Work-in-process labeling—for harsh production
environments and to provide lifetime product
tracking for recall management and security
authentication
• Asset management
Transportation and logistics
• Producing shipping labels where mobility is valued,
such as labeling large items or items at the shipping
dock
• Cross-docking
• Container labeling
MOBILE WORKFORCE/FIELD SERVICE
APPLICATIONS
Workers who spend most of their time working out of
the building benefit from mobile technology. Carrying
handheld computers and printers with them enables
them to print on site, on demand—enhancing their
efficiency, data accuracy and customer satisfaction.
Your mobile workers work in the field, where you need
them to be able to apply labels that deliver durability
and longevity in harsh outdoor environments, or
deliver archive-quality documents up to 4” wide that
don’t fade over time. Now with the rugged P4T, you
can print long-lasting thermal transfer labels and
documents out in the field—and avoid the extra time,
labor and potential errors caused by preprinting them.
Typical Uses
• Label attachment at remote locations (repair history)
• Utility labeling outside of plant
• Receipts—using the recommended Genuine Zebra™
media—where image durability and archiveability
are required
• Asset tagging
» Utility: light poles and fixtures, electrical power/
water/gas/phone/cable sub-station equipment and
components
» HVAC: boiler, chiller, other equipment asset tags;
proof of service receipts
» Construction sites: heavy equipment and tool
asset tagging; inventory control
» Indoor equipment tags: long-life tags
» Fleet management: identifying and tracking
service vans, trucks and other vehicles
» Building inspection: fire extinguishers, exits,
sprinkler systems
