The PF8 printers, available in direct thermal (PF8d) or thermal transfer
(PF8t) versions, offer compact size, sturdiness, and silent operation,
perfect for a variety of applications in retail, office, service industry
and healthcare settings. The inexperienced or busy user will appreciate
Intermec’s Connect to Print concept, a standard feature on both the
PF8d and PF8t, which makes setting up and printing a quick and easy
task. Connect to Print means that the PF8 is all inclusive of software,
drivers, and cables, for one low price. The PF8 printers are compatible
with printers supporting Esim or EPL programming language (91, 7422
and C4/PC4) and are the ideal, straightforward replacement for these
legacy printers.
In
addition, the printer comes with Intermec’s label design software LabelShop®
START and InterDriver™
Windows™ Driver. This
enables the user to easily print bar code labels from Windows applications,
including Microsoft® OfficeTM and other popular programs.
The
LabelShop
Start runs on Microsoft Windows and is easy to use. This barcode
software is usually provided at an additional cost when ordering a printer,
but with this kit it is included. However, the LabelShop software provided
only prints to Intermec EasyCoder printers. If the ability to utilize
other printers is needed, IDAutomation recommends their
Barcode Label Software
or the NiceLabel
Express Barcode Software.
With the smallest footprint of any Intermec fixed position printer,
the PF8d is ideal for space restricted applications requiring less than
1000 labels per day. The direct thermal printer delivers clean, crisp
barcodes on tags, tickets and labels. A real-time clock, a standard
feature on this model, enables time stamping of the media as it prints.
Both the PF8d and PF8t support dozens of 1D and many of the popular
2D symbologies, including DataMatrix and QR Code.
Slightly larger than the PF8d, the PF8t thermal transfer printer
is able to accommodate very large ribbon rolls (10,800 inches) for a
printer in its class. This eliminates frequent ribbon changes and downtime.
The unique double clam shell design of both the PF8d and PF8t make it
extremely easy to load supplies with the simple drop-in method. Label
and ribbon changes can be done in no time. The PF8t also accepts a compact
flash card to expand its memory by 1GB.
The standard 32-bit processor combined with the RS-232 Serial, USB
v2.0, and parallel interfaces facilitate some of the fastest printer
connections and imaging times. Firmware can easily be upgraded via the
interface connection or by using the Flash memory cartridge.
There are two models to choose from - direct thermal (PF8d) and/or
thermal transfer (PF8t).
- Direct Thermal - is a less expensive method of printing
barcode labels. This method requires only one label roll because
the printhead burns the image directly on the labels. However, the
labels can be easily damaged by heat or pressure.
- Thermal Transfer - produces the highest quality barcode
labels. This method requires one label roll and one film or ribbon
roll because the print head burns the image on the film first and
then the film is pressed on the labels. If unsure of what technology
is needed, order this model because it also supports direct thermal
printing.
