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 office duties.
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 variety
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.
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.
