Lightweight thermal printers keep your business moving
The PA403 direct thermal and PT403 thermal transfer mobile label printers provide consistent print quality and user-friendly innovations such as easy snap-in media loading. High-performance battery power keeps them going for more than eight hours on a single charge. Internal shock mounting, spring-loaded doors, and rugged housing protect these printers from the drops (up to four feet), bumps, and bruises that come with printing on the go.
Print on the Fly
These printers are so lightweight and easy to carry via shoulder strap, you can print anywhere your business takes you. In applications such as distribution centers, mount the PA403 or PT403 to a forklift so the operator can print product identification, bin, and shipping labels at the point of application.
By mounting the PA403 or PT403 on a forklift, users can make real-time adjustments when and where they’re needed without the need to return to a centralized printer.
Both the PA403 and PT403 are perfect for moderate-volume printing needs in indoor/outdoor, industrial applications, including:
• Shelf labeling
• Product identification
• Price marking
• Forklift mounting
• Bin labeling
• Route accounting
• Manufacturing
• Evidence labeling
• Citation printing
