Honeywell PM45 Industrial RFID Printer UK

PM45 ENGINEERING HIGHLIGHTS

Why UK Engineers Specify the Honeywell PM45

±0.5 mm Precision Registration

Places tiny batch codes, allergen icons, and high density 2D DataMatrix marks cleanly inside tight printed label borders.

Four Resolution Choices

Uniquely offers 203, 300, 406, and 600 dpi options to match everything from pallet SSCCs to pharmaceutical UDI vials.

Standalone Smart Printing

Connect a USB/Bluetooth barcode scanner or weigh scale directly to the PM45, printing calculated weight/batch labels without a PC.

Integrated UHF RFID Encoding

Encodes and verifies EPC Gen2 smart labels inline while running up to 14 ips throughput on logistics lines.

Drop In ZSim2 ZPL Emulation

Replaces legacy industrial printers seamlessly while accepting existing ZPL II, IPL, or Direct Protocol data streams.

Dual Sensor Ribbon & Media

Monitors low ribbon and low label thresholds proactively to prevent unprinted cartons escaping down automated conveyors.

Wi-Fi 6 & Cellular Options

Deploy on mobile packing benches or remote yard weighbridges where running fixed Ethernet cabling is impractical.

Tool Free Platen & Printhead

Maintenance engineers swap worn platen rollers or printheads in under two minutes with zero special tools.

Validated with GJBS Software

Driven natively by AR-Stock, AR-Trace, and GJBS weigh scale/production line labelling modules.

FOOD, PHARMA & AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTION LINES

24/7 Cast Metal Reliability with Sub Millimetre Label Placement Accuracy

On fast UK food packing, chemical drumming, and automotive tier 1 lines, a stalled printer halts dispatch. The PM45's rigid metal chassis, collapsible ribbon core hub, and ±0.5 mm registration keep outer case GS1-128 and UHF smart labels flowing round the clock.

PC FREE WEIGH & RE LABEL STATIONS

Connect Scales & Scanners Straight into the PM45

Using Honeywell Smart Printing configured by GJBS, operatives can scan an incoming supplier barcode or weigh a tub directly via the PM45's USB Host ports to generate an internal traceability label without maintaining a dusty shop floor PC.

TECHNICAL & COMMERCIAL FAQS

PM45 Buyer & Engineering FAQs

Can the Honeywell PM45 replace existing ZPL printers without rewriting our software?

Yes, its high speed ZSim2 firmware interprets ZPL II label streams natively alongside Honeywell Fingerprint and Direct Protocol.

Is the UHF RFID encoder factory only or field installable on the PM45?

The PM45 can be ordered factory equipped with the ETSI UHF RFID module or upgraded via modular Honeywell field kits.

What is the PM45c?

The PM45c is a compact footprint sibling of the PM45 featuring a smaller media cabinet for tight packing stations and hospital pharmacies.
