The Intermec PF8 Compact Desktop Label Printer

The Intermec PF8 barcode label 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 Intermec label printer is all inclusive of software, drivers, and cables, for one low price. In addition, the printers come complete with LabelShop START—Intermec’s label design software—and InterDriver Windows Driver. This enables the user to easily print bar code labels from Windows applications, including Microsoft Office and other popular programs.

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.

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.

Slightly larger than the Intermec PF8d, the Intermec 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 PF8t Intermec label printer also accepts a compact flash card to expand its memory by 1GB. Both the PF8d and PF8t support dozens of 1D and many of the popular 2D symbologies, including DataMatrix and QR Code.

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.

The Intermec PF8 label printers also come with standard features like 203 dpi, Asian fonts, and both Label Taken and Black Mark sensors.

Optional features include:

• PF8t Both PF8d and PF8t
• Real-time clock Ethernet
• 300 dpi Cutter
• Self-Strip with Label-Taken Sensor
• 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.
