Honeywell / Intermec PD45 — Frequently Asked Questions
What printing method does the Honeywell / Intermec PD45 use?
The Honeywell / Intermec PD45 does both. In thermal transfer mode it prints through a ribbon for durable, long-life labels; in direct thermal mode it prints straight onto heat-sensitive stock with no ribbon at all, which is how most shipping labels are produced.
Which thermal transfer ribbons fit the Honeywell / Intermec PD45?
The Honeywell / Intermec PD45 takes thermal transfer ribbons up to 4.33" wide, up to 1,476 ft (450 m) long, on a 1" core, wound either coated side in or out. Wax suits coated paper labels, wax-resin handles synthetics and heavier handling, and full resin is the choice for chemical, solvent and outdoor exposure.
Which label sizes can the Honeywell / Intermec PD45 print?
The Honeywell / Intermec PD45 accepts media up to 4.4" wide, with a maximum print width of 4.09". Any narrower label will run as well, so long as the roll core and outside diameter also fit the media bay — width alone is not enough.
Which roll cores and diameters suit the Honeywell / Intermec PD45?
The Honeywell / Intermec PD45 takes rolls on 1" / 3" cores, with a maximum roll diameter of 8". A roll on a larger core will not seat on the spindle, and one over the diameter limit will not let the cover close.
Does the Honeywell / Intermec PD45 take 3-inch core rolls?
Yes — 3" cores are the industrial standard and the Honeywell / Intermec PD45 is built for them, which is what lets it hold the large-diameter rolls that keep reload stops down.
Why won't my label roll fit the Honeywell / Intermec PD45?
Three things stop a roll loading in this printer: the roll is over 8" in diameter; the core is not 1" / 3". Label width is usually the first thing people check and the least likely culprit — core size is the common one.
Can the Honeywell / Intermec PD45 print on synthetic or outdoor labels?
Yes. Because the Honeywell / Intermec PD45 prints thermal transfer, it can image polypropylene, polyester and other synthetic facestocks that direct thermal printers cannot mark. Pair them with a wax-resin or full resin ribbon; wax will not anchor properly to a synthetic surface.
Where can I buy labels and ribbons for the Honeywell / Intermec PD45 in Canada?
