PT40x Seriesis a low-cost, portable, thermal transfer printer. Both can be carried
by the shoulder strap, sit on a workspace, or be mounted to a specific location. The
battery makes them truly portable especially in environments where AC power is
not readily available. The PA/PT40x Series deliver traditional Zebra reliability in a
transportable label printer for the mobile work environment.

• Tear-Off Mode. The operator tears off a single label (or a strip of labels) after
printing.
• Peel-Off Mode. The liner is peeled away from the label as it prints, the printer
waits until the operator removes the label, and then the next label prints.

• Direct Thermal Printing (PA40x Series) (requires direct thermal media). A
substrate, typically paper, is coated with a chemical that changes to a dark
color upon exposure to heat over a period of time to form an image.
• Thermal Transfer Printing (PT40x Series) (requires thermal transfer media
and ribbons). An image is formed by the heat of the printhead transferring to
the ribbon, releasing ink directly to the substrate to produce the printed image.
