A few of the screen are slow to respond, but overall the menus are well organized and (even I) was able to navigate easily to the tasks I needed.

Hmm…Īnyway, I was able to get going by changing over to Ethernet connectivity and using an old PM4i driver – not ideal, but at least I was able to print.įor setting up the machine, the touch screen interface works pretty well. The tech support guy told me that he’d give me a case number and send me an email when the driver is ready. OK, a quick call to Intermec Tech Support will get me going, right? Wrong.

Since I was using USB and the Windows “Found New Hardware” thingy, I came to a quick stop. Oh dear – there is no PM43 driver included.

I use BarTender as my label software so my first step was to download the latest Seagull drivers for Intermec. To be fair to Intermec, this unit is a Business Development machine and might not be to quite the latest specs.Ĭonnecting to my laptop proved to be a painful process. I have to admit, I ran into some issues that I hadn’t expected when testing the PM43 on some of our labels. This part of the printer is nicely thought out and a better design than the printhead mounting on the ZM400 and the M-Class.
I like the way the printhead is pivoted to keep consistent pressure on the label and also am pleased that the printhead itself is simple and fast to remove and install. The printhead opening lever is easy to see and to use.
Personally, I prefer to not have to do this, but others on our team prefer the Intermec way. Intermec has retained the concept of using an empty core to fix the new ribbon onto on the take up spool. Loading the thermal ribbon is easy as well. Loading labels is simple – it can be done from the side, rather than having to feed all the way through.

There is also USB host provided to allow other devices such as keyboards and barcode scanners to be connected.Īccording to the specs though, only the serial and Ethernet are standard, the others being optional, along with wireless. It has the usual serial/parallel/USB options as well as an Ethernet port. Our PM43 is well equipped with ports to work in just about any environment. When starting the printer for the first time, the user is prompted to choose between Intermec’s Fingerprint, IPL systems or Zebra emulation. Below the keypad is a huge blue label feed button. On the front of the printer, the most obvious change is the addition of a colour touch-screen display (huge improvement over the rather poor quality little display on the previous models) and keypad. The new styling is a little bit squarer, but still cool. Taking the new printer out of the box, it is plain to see that it has evolved from the PM4i model – it continues Intermec’s battleship grey industrial colour. I don’t believe there are many of the C version around yet though. The printer that arrived is a 400 DPI model and is the larger of the two models – the PM43C is slightly smaller and would have been my preferred version. The folks at Intermec kindly sent me over a printer to check out. The PM43 is a mid-range industrial printer and is in the same market sector as two of my favorites, the Datamax M-Class and Zebra ZM400. The good news is that there seems to be a change – a new PC23 model was launched a while ago and more recently the new PM43. I got the impression that the company was way more focused on their mobile computing business – probably rightly. Despite a large customer base of the legacy printer models, there has not been a great deal to get excited about for some time. It had seemed to me that Intermec was getting tired of the barcode printer business.
