A Proven Family

The PC43d, PC43t and PC23d printers are part of the PC series family of desktop printers – designed for maximum ease of use and value.

Healthcare Ready

The PC23d printer features a disinfectant-ready housing capable of withstanding the harmful effects of frequent chemical wipedowns.

RFID Capable

A factory-installed RFID option enables UHF RFID (PC43 printers only).

PC43t, PC43d and PC23d Desktop Printers are designed to set a new standard in ease of use and flexibility. With one of the broadest feature sets in the desktop printer class, it’s no wonder the PC series is a popular choice for light-duty, desktop labeling tasks.

The PC series offers three configurations:

  • 101.6 mm (4 in) thermal transfer (PC43t)
  • 101.6 mm (4 in) direct thermal (PC43d)
  • 50.8 (2 in) direct thermal (PC23d)

With numerous features typically found in larger, more expensive printers, PC series printers feature a multi-language LCD or icon user interface, user-installable connectivity options and accessories, and speedy label printing.

The PC series was designed by users for quick set-up and trouble-free use. The printer adapts to its environment and fits right in with a variety of placement options, including wall mount and battery power. No need to waste time deciphering blinking LEDs – PC printers come with a color LCD in 10 languages or a universal icon interface for immediate notifications that ensure minimal training and support.

Configure and update your PC printer on the spot with the USB host port – no computer needed. And one-hand drop-in media loading makes resupply a breeze.
