Rugged, affordable bar code printer
Housed in a rugged metal case, the PD41 bar code printer combines rugged design and functionality at a medium-range to entry-class price point.

It can take industry-standard 200 mm (8-inch) rolls of labels and 450 meter (18,000 inches) of ribbon, reducing printer downtime. The print head can easily be replaced without tools.
