PD41 specifications

The Intermec PD41 is a robust and versatile industrial printer designed to meet the demands of various printing applications. Known for its reliability and durability, the PD41 is a preferred choice among businesses that require high-quality printing in challenging environments.

One of the main features of the PD41 is its impressive print resolution of up to 203 dpi, which ensures that text and graphics are crisp and clear.
