With the introduction of Intermec C#, some barcode printers can operate more simply and reliably – even without an attached computer or keyboard.
Intermec C# programming language for printers can be used with the company’s
PM43 and PM43c industrial printers, as well as its
PC-Series desktop printers.
With Intermec C#, the Intermec PM43 has become a truly smart printer.
“For more than 20 years, Intermec and its partners have delivered leading Smart Printing solutions to enterprises around the world, and Intermec C# language support for Smart Printing adds yet another way for businesses to simplify their printing operations and cut costs,” said Chuck Dourlet, Intermec vice president of printers and media. “With the
brainpower of a personal computer built directly into the printer, Intermec Smart Printing with C# offers a cost-effective, intuitive, programmable Smart Printing development option for businesses to improve performance and reliability, ultimately boosting customer satisfaction.”
Truly smart printing
With Smart Printing, applications run directly in the printer. Because of this, a separate computer is not needed to control the label-printing process. In addition, Smart Printing enables the printer to interact with other devices on the network. Intermec C# is embedded directly in the printer’s firmware, so it does not require a separate purchase.
The PM43 and PM43c industrial printers are ideal for distribution, warehouse and manufacturing environments. They include:
- Large, color touch screens
- Barcode printing with pinpoint accuracy
- A strong metal structure with a metal door that can be locked for media protection
- Multiple connectivity options
Lower cost of ownership
By adding the Intermec C# programming language capability to these printers, they can become more reliable and economical. Because Intermec’s printers have a built-in numeric keypad, Intermec C# will offer customers a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) by virtually eliminating any need for an attached computer, keyboard or other cabling elements in many industrial, retail and distribution center applications.
“Intermec C# for Printers provides our partners who have Microsoft® .NET development
skills a new way to deliver high-powered printer-based solutions using tools they are already familiar with,” said Karl Perry, Intermec senior product manager for printer software. “The Fingerprint language that started Smart Printing has served us well, and now C# for Printers improves on that legacy by providing a powerful set of tools that virtually all software developers already know how to use. The result will be even better in-printer applications.”
