NOW THESE MARKETS AND 
APPLICATIONS CAN BENEFIT FROM 
MOBILE PRINTING
The easy-to-wear and -carry Zebra P4T mobile printer is ideal for 
indoor and outdoor applications in government, manufacturing, 
transportation and logistics, mobile field service and healthcare.
MANUFACTURING/TRANSPORTATION 
& LOGISTICS THERMAL TRANSFER 
APPLICATIONS
You likely already use a thermal transfer tabletop 
printer in your operations because your printed labels 
need to stay readable and scannable long-term. You 
apply these long-lasting labels to items that must 
move through a long supply chain, endure long 
storage times, and/or encounter harsh or outdoor 
environments. Now you can extend the functionality 
of your thermal transfer stationary printer to print 
labels precisely where they need to be applied. When 
you print labels on the spot and on demand with 
the rugged P4T mobile printer, you improve worker 
productivity by saving steps to and from a centralized 
printer. And you improve accuracy by ensuring the 
right label is applied to the right item.
Typical Uses
The P4T mobile printer finds a ready home in 
manufacturing plants and warehouses; retail store 
warehouses, outdoor garden centers, and distribution 
centers; and third party logistics warehouses.
Manufacturing and warehousing
•  Receiving—inventory labeling
•  Shipping—apply labels to items as they’re picked, 
even from a forklift 
•  Work-in-process labeling—for harsh production 
environments and to provide lifetime product 
tracking for recall management and security 
authentication
•  Asset management
Transportation and logistics
•   Producing shipping labels where mobility is valued, 
such as labeling large items or items at the shipping 
dock
•  Cross-docking
•  Container labeling
MOBILE WORKFORCE/FIELD SERVICE 
APPLICATIONS
Workers who spend most of their time working out of 
the building benefit from mobile technology. Carrying 
handheld computers and printers with them enables 
them to print on site, on demand—enhancing their 
efficiency, data accuracy and customer satisfaction. 
Your mobile workers work in the field, where you need 
them to be able to apply labels that deliver durability 
and longevity in harsh outdoor environments, or 
deliver archive-quality documents up to 4” wide that 
don’t fade over time. Now with the rugged P4T, you 
can print long-lasting thermal transfer labels and 
documents out in the field—and avoid the extra time, 
labor and potential errors caused by preprinting them. 
Typical Uses
•  Label attachment at remote locations (repair history)
•  Utility labeling outside of plant
•  Receipts—using the recommended Genuine Zebra™ 
media—where image durability and archiveability 
are required
•  Asset tagging
 » Utility: light poles and fixtures, electrical power/
water/gas/phone/cable sub-station equipment and 
components
 » HVAC: boiler, chiller, other equipment asset tags; 
proof of service receipts
 » Construction sites: heavy equipment and tool 
asset tagging; inventory control
 » Indoor equipment tags: long-life tags
 » Fleet management: identifying and tracking 
service vans, trucks and other vehicles
 » Building inspection: fire extinguishers, exits, 
sprinkler systems
