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.
