Spec Sheet
Members of the smartest bar code 
printer family on the market, the 
Intermec PD41 and PD42 are 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 PD printers deliver advanced, 
secure connectivity and the latest network 
protocols, ensuring peace-of-mind today 
and a reliable, scalable solution for the 
long haul. The versatile PD41 and PD42 
Commercial Printers are part of Intermec’s 
complete line of smart, strong and secure 
industrial printers.
Smart
The PD printers’ smart design features 
support increased productivity in 
demanding environments. As Smart 
Printers, they can host stand-alone 
applications, developed through Intermec 
Fingerprint programming language, that 
reduce errors and streamline operational 
processes. Smart Printers can eliminate the 
PC and control other devices directly (such 
as scanners, scales, applicators), improving 
eciency and decreasing infrastructure 
costs and complexity. 
Their integrated device management and 
diagnostic capabilities, provided through 
Intermec SmartSystems™ and Wavelink 
Avalanche™, reduce downtime and simplify 
deployment. With user-selectable, all-in-
one programming languages (Fingerprint, 
IPL, ZSim, DSim, ESim), the PD printers fit 
existing IT infrastructures, deploying with 
drop-in simplicity to Intermec or mixed 
printer environments. Secure, industry-
standard connectivity options support easy 
integration and fast deployment.
Stron g
With their all-metal chassis and covers, 
proven printing mechanics and powerful 
electronics, the rugged PD printers reduce 
downtime and minimize maintenance 
costs. The PD41’s simple, one-button 
interface provides the ultimate in ease-of-
use. The PD42’s graphical display allows 
users to set up, configure and fine tune 
printing parameters without having to send 
commands through the host, saving time. 
An open design makes media loading quick 
and easy, and the print head can easily be 
replaced without tools. The printers are 
co-engineered and tested with Intermec 
labels and other media products, ensuring 
optimized performance when used with 
genuine Intermec media.
Secure
Multiple interface options are available, 
including the highest level of secure 
wireless connectivity (WPA2). The 
industry’s only printers 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,
