Spec Sheet
The EasyCoder PD42 is a dependable and 
versatile printer suitable for medium 
duty applications in manufacturing, 
transportation and warehousing 
environments. With all-metal chassis 
and covers, proven printing mechanics 
and powerful electronics, it provides 
the sturdiness and performance 
your business depends on.
The EasyCoder PD42 is the first Intermec 
printer to feature a monochrome, graphical 
display, which allows users to set up, 
configure and fine tune printing parameters 
without having to send commands 
through the host, saving time. The display 
working in concert with the status lights 
provides the user specific feedback if 
the printer is in an o-line state.
The ability to use any Intermec printer 
language and emulate other printer 
protocols makes the EasyCoder PD42 
both fully compatible with other Intermec 
equipment and a cost-eective “drop-
in” printer replacement in almost any 
non-Intermec firmware environment. 
Using Fingerprint™ programming language, 
the EasyCoder PD42 can change with the 
application. There’s no need to replace the 
printer when you upgrade your software 
environment – the printer will adapt. 
The EasyCoder PD42 keeps your options 
open and protects your investment.
The EasyCoder PD42 can print demanding 
crisp variable-data labels continuously 
at 150 mm/s (6 ips). It takes industry 
standard 200-mm (8-in) rolls of labels 
and 450 m (18 000 in) of ribbon, reducing 
downtime for loading media to a minimum.
The printer accepts a wide range of paper 
types in dierent thicknesses, as well as 
both ink-in and ink-out ribbon. In addition 
the EasyCoder PD42 oers many Smart 
Printing™ features normally found only 
in high-performance printers. By adding 
Intermec’s LabelShop® Pro and XMLLabel™, 
the EasyCoder PD42 will be fully 
provisioned for XML printing environments.
Support for Unicode fonts and Intermec 
Ready-to-Work™ indicator are standard – 
all at an aordable and competitive price. 
Networking is an increasingly important 
user requirement but still a rare feature 
in this printer class. The EasyCoder PD42 
oers EasyLAN™ high-speed, multi-
channel Ethernet as a standard choice. 
An open and accessible design 
makes media loading quick and easy, 
and the print head can easily be 
replaced without using any tools.
