Honeywell PM45 / PM45c 4-Inch Industrial RFID Barcode Printer (203/300/406/600 dpi)

The Honeywell PM45 / PM45c RFID is a next-generation 4-inch mid-range to high-performance industrial barcode and RFID label printer engineered for mission-critical operations in distribution centers, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and transportation & logistics. Built on a rugged all-metal chassis with high-precision registration (±0.5 mm), the PM45 series offers multi-resolution versatility (203, 300, 406, and 600 dpi), high-speed printing up to 14 ips, integrated UHF RFID encoding, and industry-first WWAN cellular connectivity for real-time 24/7 visibility.

Key Features & Advantages

• Rugged Industrial Durability: Engineered with a cast-aluminum frame and all-metal structure with a bi-fold door to survive harsh industrial environments and continuous heavy-duty printing.
• Integrated UHF RFID Encoding: Supports EPC Class 1 Gen 2 and ISO 18000-6C RFID standards with automated tag calibration, accommodating standard and on-metal RFID smart labels.
• First Industrial Printer with WWAN (Cellular IoT): Enables cellular M2M/IoT connectivity for remote installations, pop-up logistics hubs, and continuous real-time fleet tracking without relying on local LAN wiring.
• Ultra-High Precision Printing (600 dpi): High-precision printhead registration accurate down to ±0.5 mm, ensuring crisp rendering of tiny 2D Data Matrix codes on electronic components and pharmaceutical labels.
• Smart Printing Standalone Operation: Execute custom C# or Fingerprint applications directly on the printer, enabling stand-alone labeling without requiring a dedicated host computer.
• Enterprise Security & MDM: Managed by Honeywell Cyber Security with lifetime firmware updates, supporting Operational Intelligence, PrintSet MC, and SOTI MobiControl for predictive printer health maintenance.
