Intermec Launches PB Printers

Intermec announced the addition of three new rugged mobile printers to its PB product family – the PB21, PB31 and PB51. Intermec claims that the printers feature two times more memory, print twenty to thirty percent faster than competing solutions, and are the industry’s only “Smart” rugged mobile receipt and invoice printers.

The printers have IP54 seal ratings, six and a half foot (two meter) drop specification, and 50g shock rating. For in-premise or field mobility applications where a host computer is used, the PB printers offer Bluetooth or 801.11b/g secure wireless connectivity as well as serial and USB wired connectivity. The PB receipt and invoice printers also include an optional card reader which is compatible with the latest EMV and ISO secure payment standards.

"At a time when maximizing efficiencies and reducing costs is paramount, there is an increasing demand for high quality fast printing,” said Pete Basiliere, Research Director at Gartner. “This not only impacts worker productivity and ROI, but also enables more transactions to be completed.”

"The PB21, PB31, and PB51 deliver unparalleled productivity, efficiency, and cost savings benefits for our customers,” said Earl Thompson, Sr. Vice President of the Mobile Solutions Business Unit. “By delivering the industry’s fastest and most advanced real-time information capture and management product and services portfolio, Intermec is not only empowering customers to meet and exceed today’s demands, but to ensure profitability in the future.”
