Direct thermal desktop label printer
The Intermec PC43d is a new desktop barcode printer that uses direct thermal technology at 203 dpi. It connects through USB or Ethernet (RJ-45) and includes a 24 VDC AC adapter. The unit handles labels up to 4.65 inches wide and is suited for shipping, inventory and asset-tagging workflows.
Sustained operation on direct thermal media
Direct thermal printing requires no ribbon, so consumable changes are limited to label rolls. The 203 dpi engine maintains consistent output during long print runs without the ribbon wrinkles or rewind delays seen in thermal-transfer models. Ethernet connectivity keeps the printer available to multiple workstations without a dedicated host PC.
Replaces ribbon-based or single-PC printers
This model upgrades operations that still rely on thermal-transfer desktop units or USB-only printers tethered to one workstation. Removing the ribbon supply cuts recurring cost and reduces downtime during roll changes. The jump is worthwhile when label volumes justify network sharing and when direct thermal media meets the durability needs of the application.

Questions about this item
Does the 203 dpi printhead run hot or loud during a full day of printing?
The direct thermal engine draws 24 VDC and is designed for desktop duty cycles; it stays cool and quiet enough for office use.
What cables or host ports do I need to connect the USB and Ethernet interfaces?
You need a standard USB-A cable and an RJ-45 Ethernet patch lead; both ports are built into the printer.
Will the 4.65" maximum label width fit the 4" rolls I already use?
Yes — the 4.65" capacity covers standard 4-inch rolls, so your existing media works without change.
