Product Overview
A member of the intelligent barcode printer family on the market, the PX4i is flexible and programmable, streamlining deployment to optimise their printing operations and enabling them to achieve a rapid return on investment. Built to meet the needs of critical applications round the clock, the rugged PX4i delivers advanced connectivity and network protocols, ensuring a reliable, scalable solution for peace-of-mind today and long distance. The PX4i High Performance Printer is part of the Intermec full line of smart, powerful and secure industrial printers.
Smart
PX4i intelligent design features support increased productivity in demanding environments. As an Intelligent Printer, it can host stand-alone applications developed with the Intermec Fingerprint programming language, which reduce errors and streamline operational processes. Smart Printers can eliminate the PC and control other devices directly (such as scanners, scales, applicators), increasing productivity and reducing infrastructure costs and complexity.
The PX4i device management and diagnostic capabilities provided through Intermec SmartSystems™ and Wavelink Avalanche™ reduce downtime and simplify deployment. With user-selectable, all-in-one programming languages (Fingerprint, IPL, ZSim, ZSim, DSim), the simplicity of the PX4i combo fits Intermec or mixed printer environments. Its modular design facilitates integration to support rapid deployment of automated labelling applications and industry-standard connectivity options simplify integration.
Powerful
The rugged, all-metal PX4i delivers superior performance - from first label to last up to 12 centimetres per second - and includes features to reduce downtime and minimise maintenance costs. The PX4i is available in 203 or 300 dpi resolution, as well as 406 dpi for precision labelling without loss of speed. It is ideal for labelling applications that comply with variable data requiring immediate results.
The improved self-strip option delivers consistent performance on multiple media types. Changing heads is quick and easy thanks to the magnetic QuickMount™ print head design. The PX4i is co-engineered and tested with Intermec label and other media products to optimise performance when used with genuine Intermec media.
Safe
Multiple interface options are available, including the highest level of secure wireless connectivity (WPA2).Available with WIFI and CCX-Certification, Intermec industrial printers help maintain wireless network integrity and reduce configuration time. Each printer ships with Ethernet connectivity as well as the emerging network protocol IPv6, providing long-term enterprise scalability.
The standard CompactFlash™ memory slot is complemented by new USB host and device support. Convenient and PC compatible, these memory technologies provide extra storage for fingerprint programmes, layouts, graphics*, fonts and software upgrades.

Thermal Transfer Printers: Revolutionizing Modern Printing
Thermal transfer printers have become vital tools across various industries, offering a seamless and efficient method for producing high-quality prints on materials like paper, plastic, fabric, and more. This technology applies heat to a ribbon with pigmented ink, causing the ink to melt and bond with the substrate, resulting in durable prints.
Applications Across Industries
Thermal transfer printers are widely used in retail for barcodes and price tags, in manufacturing for labeling products with important information, and in healthcare for accurate labeling of medical equipment. The food and beverage industry also benefits from these printers to print essential information on packaging materials.
Advantages of Thermal Transfer Printing
The primary benefits of thermal transfer printers include exceptional print quality, high resolution, and resistance to fading, water, and chemicals. They can print on a variety of substrates, including synthetic materials and textiles. These printers are easy to use, require minimal maintenance, and enhance productivity.
Key Features to Consider
When choosing a thermal transfer printer, key features such as print resolution, print speed, and connectivity options should be considered. Print resolution is essential for clear and sharp prints, while print speed affects the efficiency of large-scale tasks. Connectivity options like USB, Ethernet, and wireless help integrate the printer into existing systems.
Environmental Considerations
In response to growing environmental concerns, modern thermal transfer printers focus on reducing power consumption and using eco-friendly ribbons and inks, helping industries adopt greener practices.
Conclusion
Thermal transfer printers are indispensable in various industries, offering durable, high-quality prints on multiple substrates. As technology continues to advance, these printers will remain essential in providing reliable and efficient printing solutions.
