PX4i RFID Printer

A member of the smartest bar code printer family on the market, the PM4i is flexible and programmable, enabling customers to optimize their printing operations, streamline deployment, and achieve quick return on investment. Built to meet the needs of mission-critical applications, the rugged PM4i delivers advanced, secure connectivity and the latest network protocols, ensuring peace-of-mind today and a reliable, scalable solution for the long haul. The popular PM4i RFID Printer is part of Intermec's complete line of smart, strong and secure industrial printers.

Smart

The PX4i's smart design features support increased productivity in demanding environments. As a Smart Printer, it can host stand-alone applications, developed through 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), improving efficiency and decreasing infrastructure costs and complexity.

The PX4i's device management and diagnostic capabilities, provided through Intermec SmartSystemsTM and Wavelink AvalancheTM, reduce downtime and simplify deployment. With user-selectable, all-in-one programming languages (Fingerprint, IPL, ZSim, DSim), the PX4i fits with drop-in simplicity into Intermec or mixed printer environments. Its modular design facilitates integration into automated labeling applications and industry- standard connectivity options support fast deployment.

Strong

The rugged, all-metal PX4i delivers outstanding performance – up to 12 inches per second from first label to last – and incorporates features that reduce downtime and minimize maintenance costs. The PX4i is available with 203 or 300-dpi resolution, as well as 406 dpi for precision labeling without any loss of speed. This is ideal for compliance labeling applications with variable data requiring immediate results.

An enhanced self-strip option delivers consistent performance across multiple media types. Replacing printheads is fast and easy, thanks to the magnetic QuickMountTM printhead design. The PX4i is co-engineered and tested with Intermec labels and other media products, optimizing performance when used with genuine Intermec media.

Secure

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. Every printer ships with Ethernet connectivity, as well as with emerging network protocol IPv6, ensuring long-term, enterprise scalability.

The standard CompactFlashTM memory slot is complemented by new USB host and device support. Handy and PC-compatible, these memory technologies provide extra storage for Fingerprint programs, layouts, graphics*, fonts and firmware upgrades. The RFID-enabled PX4i also enables companies to create RFID smart labels and drive the latest RFID applications.
