Key Selling Points
Graphical display and interface – an Intermec-printer first
Best-in-class throughput provides increased productivity
Versatile connectivity choices via Ethernet, Serial, USB and Parallel IEEE 1284
Rugged and affordable: Highly competitive in value and features
Product Positioning
Like the PD41, the commercial-grade PD42 is a dependable and versatile printer suitable for medium-duty applications in manufacturing, transportation and warehousing environments. The PD42 can print demanding crisp variable-data labels continuously at 150 mm/s (6 IPS), thereby outperforming all other printers in its class. The printer accepts a wide range of paper types in different thicknesses, as well as both ink-in and ink-out ribbon.
The PD42 fills an application product-set gap, addressing the market need for a low-cost metal value printer differentiated by the Intermec Value add including Smart Printing and SmartSystems™. Positioned between Intermec’s small plastic desktop printers (such as the PC4, PC41, and PF8) and the higher performing, industrial duty printers (such as the PM4i, PX4i, and PX6i) , the PD42 addresses the market opportunity for a low cost metal value printer.
The PD41 and PD42 replace the discontinued EasyCoder E4. They also address the same work load and application segments as the PD4. For new applications, there is no longer any reason to lead with the PD4. In current applications, the PD41 will partly replace PD4. For PD4 users using the printer in InterDriver (Windows driver) and LabelShop applications, the migration is straight forward. When the PD4 is used in ESim host applications, the PD42 with display and ESim will provide a more straight forward replacement.

Value Proposition
Like its precursor, the PD41, the PD42 is a dependable and versatile printer suitable for medium-duty applications in manufacturing, transportation and warehousing environments. With its all-metal chassis and cover, proven printing mechanics and powerful electronics, it provides a solid level of performance that your business can depend upon. The PD42 also offers Smart Printing™ features and flexible network connectivity options at an affordable price.
What sets the PD42 apart from the PD41 is the monochrome, graphical display, a first for an Intermec printer and USB Host/Boot for easy integration of peripheral devices such as keyboards and scanners. This allows users to save time by setting up, configuring and fine-tuning printing parameters without having to send commands through the host. The display, working in concert with the status lights, provides enhanced feedback on the printer's status.
Competitive Comparisons
"Important considerations for the current and future bar code printer market include the following: As more industrial manufacturing facilities adopt AIDC technology for WIP tracking, asset management and inventory control printers are increasingly subject to harsh environmental conditions. According to suppliers, end users in these industrial markets seek an entry-level (sub $1000) industrial printer. With many printers offering a list price below $1000, few meet end user requirements in terms of robustness, durability and ruggedness." —Souce: VDC "2004 AIDC Bar Code Printers and Consumables Worldwide Report"
The PD41 and PD42 were designed to meet the market need that competitors have not been addressing: an affordable printer that is also rugged and powerful. When the end user is value conscious and is considering switching to other competitive printer brands, the PD41/PD42 will offer an attractive price performance ratio. In comparison with other competitive printers with IPL emulation such as Zebra S4M and Z4M with APL-I (IPL interpreter), the PD41/PD42 shares its IPL code base with other Intermec printers and therefore offers true compatibility.

Product Overview
The PD42 is a dependable and versatile printer suitable for medium duty applications in manufacturing, transportation and warehousing environments. With all-metal chassis and covers, proven printing mechanics and powerful electronics, it provides the sturdiness and performance your business depends on.
The PD42 is the first Intermec printer to feature a monochrome, graphical display, which allows users to set up, configure and fine tune printing parameters without having to send commands through the host, saving time. The display working in concert with the status lights provides the user specific feedback if the printer is in an off-line state.
The ability to use any Intermec printer language and emulate other printer protocols makes the PD42 both fully compatible with other Intermec equipment and a cost-effective “drop-in” printer replacement in almost any non-Intermec firmware environment.
Using Fingerprint™ programming language, the PD42 can change with the application. There’s no need to replace the printer when you upgrade your software environment – the printer will adapt. The PD42 keeps your options open and protects your investment.
The PD42 can print demanding crisp variable-data labels continuously at 150 mm/s (6 ips). It takes industry standard 200-mm (8-in) rolls of labels and 450 m (18 000 in) of ribbon, reducing downtime for loading media to a minimum.
The printer accepts a wide range of paper types in different thicknesses, as well as both ink-in and ink-out ribbon. In addition the PD42 offers many Smart Printing™ features normally found only in high-performance printers. By adding Intermec’s LabelShop® Pro and XMLLabel™, the PD42 will be fully provisioned for XML printing environments.
Support for Unicode fonts and Intermec Ready-to-Work™ indicator are standard – all at an affordable and competitive price. Networking is an increasingly important user requirement but still a rare feature in this printer class. The PD42 offers high-speed, multi-channel Ethernet as a standard choice.
An open and accessible design makes media loading quick and easy, and the print head can easily be replaced without using any tools.
