The Intermec PW40 thermal workboard 
printer is the newest addition to the 
Intermec line of workboard printers, 
designed specifically to hold the new 
Intermec 700 Series Mobile Computer. 
With a design that is both durable and 
weather resistant, the PW40 can take the 
punishment of daily work environments 
and is easily incorporated into the field. 
In addition, its functional design makes 
paper loading simple because roll-type 
paper fits easily into place.
The rugged one-piece solution allows the 
user the convenience of a joined device, 
with a hand strap. Additionally, the user 
can charge both the printer and mobile 
computer with one charge source.
The reliable four inch thermal printer 
mechanism on the PW40 offers 
exceptional print clarity with the 
versatility of printing text, graphics 
and logos. It can quickly print standard 
40-column receipts, yet provides users 
with a 4-inch paper width capability to 
accommodate compressed 80-column 
formats. With the flexibility to provide 
a compressed 80-column receipt, the 
field worker is relieved of having to carry 
the bulk of a larger 80-column printer. 
The PW40 easily handles 120 feet of 
thermal paper, reducing the frequency of 
changing paper rolls.
A vehicle charger option ensures a long 
day’s work in the field. With a patented 
sleep mode for battery conservation, the 
PW40 automatically activates itself when 
it senses data input.
With the Bluetooth equipped PW40, 
mobile workers have the ability to begin 
printing while the 700 is away from the 
workboard. No longer needing to go 
back to a truck to or walk down an aisle 
to begin printing a ticket saves the driver 
valuable time. They can begin printing 
from up to 30 feet (10m) away.
The Intermec PW40 is fully compatible 
with the Intermec 6808, 681, 682 and 782 
line of printers and is backed by a one-
year warranty.
