Description

Description

The Honeywell PC42E-D is a fast 4-inch direct thermal desktop printer for shipping labels, receipts, tags and price markdowns – no ribbon needed. It prints at up to 8 ips (203 mm/s), comes with USB, Ethernet and RS-232 serial as standard, and can be upgraded with Wi-Fi 5 + Bluetooth, a cutter or a peeler. This version, PC42EDB020200, comes in a black housing with a 203 dpi print head; it ships with a power supply and a USB cable – the power cord (C13) is ordered separately.

📦 What's in the box – PC42EDB020200

✅ Honeywell PC42E-D printer – Black, 203 dpi
✅ Power supply – external, 24 V DC / 2.5 A (Honeywell 203-186-002)
❌ Power cord – NOT included – the power supply needs a C13 mains cable (EU or UK plug)
✅ USB cable – USB A to B, 2 m (Honeywell 321-576-004)
❌ Labels – not included – please order labels separately
✅ Documentation – regulatory sheet; drivers, utilities and manuals are a free download from Honeywell

⚠️ Please note: no power cord is included. The printer comes with its power supply and USB cable, but the mains cable (IEC C13) must be ordered separately – for example the Zebra 450044 with an EU (Schuko) plug or the Citizen C6009-300 with a UK plug.

💡 Useful extras: the Honeywell 3012-6759-001 Wi-Fi 5 + Bluetooth module for wireless printing; a Citizen cleaning pen 3000166 for regular print-head cleaning.
