Honeywell PX45A Industrial Label Printer 300 DPI Ethernet Rewinder PX45A00000020300

Key Features

• Prints thermal transfer labels at 300 dpi and up to 12 ips, keeping high-volume labeling lines moving.
• Winds printed labels or spent liner inside the printer, removing the need for a separate take-up unit.
• Detects removal of each printed label with the integrated label taken sensor, pacing print-and-apply work.
• Configured for liner take-up and label taken sensing, supporting peel-and-present operation.
• Connects over Ethernet 10/100, USB 2.0 device, USB host and RS-232 without adding any interface board.
• Withstands demanding production floors on an all-metal chassis engineered for round-the-clock duty cycles.
• Swaps printheads in seconds with the magnetic QuickMount design, cutting maintenance downtime on the line.
• Speaks Fingerprint, Direct Protocol, IPL, ZSim2, DPL and C#, dropping into mixed printer fleets without rework.
• Hosts standalone smart printing applications, letting the printer drive scales, scanners and applicators directly.
• Ships with US and EU power cords, simplifying commissioning across North American and European facilities.
• Configures remotely through web-based PrintSet 5, removing printer-by-printer setup visits across the estate.
• Tracks fleet health in cloud-based Operational Intelligence, surfacing faults before they halt production.

Industrial Print Platform

The Honeywell PX45A is a four-inch industrial label printer built on an all-metal chassis for continuous, mission-critical labeling. Part number PX45A00000020300 is the thermal transfer configuration at 300 dpi with integrated Ethernet and factory-fitted internal rewinder and label taken sensor. The unit measures 482 mm x 238 mm x 275 mm (19.0 in. x 9.4 in. x 10.8 in.) and weighs 12.61 kg (27.87 lbs.), giving it a compact, modular footprint that installs alongside packing benches, conveyors and automated labeling cells. A color LCD with dedicated navigation keys and a Ready-to-Work indicator lets operators load media, calibrate sensors and change print settings at the machine without a connected host.

Kit And Connectivity

The published configuration for PX45A00000020300 supplies the printer, its factory-installed rewinder and label taken sensor, and US and EU AC power cords, so a single part number can be commissioned in North American and European facilities. Standard interfaces are Ethernet 10/100 Mbps, USB 2.0 High Speed device, USB 2.0 High Speed host and RS-232 serial. This part number does not include Wi-Fi, and it does not include a cutter or the optional parallel IEEE 1284, dual serial, industrial eight-channel digital input/output, applicator or RFID boards, which are separate ordering options. Ribbon, label stock and host data cables are not part of the published kit and should be specified alongside the printer.

Print And Media Performance

At 300 dpi the PX45A prints from 100 to 300 mm/s, equivalent to 4 to 12 inches per second, across a maximum width of 112 mm in direct thermal mode and 110 mm in thermal transfer mode. It accepts media from 25.4 to 120 mm wide and 2.4 to 10.0 mil thick, supplied as rolls up to 213 mm (8.38 in.) outside diameter on 38 to 76 mm cores, or as fan-fold stock. Thermal transfer ribbons in wax, mid-range and resin formulations are supported up to 450 m (1476 ft.) in length and 80 mm in diameter. Gap, notch, black mark, continuous, media low, media end, ribbon and head lift sensing keep registration accurate on labels, tags and linered media.

Internal Rewinder Operation

This configuration is defined by its internal liner and batch take-up assembly working together with a label taken sensor, and it is the difference between PX45A00000020300 and the plain PX45A00000000300. In peel-off mode self-adhesive labels are separated from the liner immediately after printing and presented to the operator or applicator, while the liner is wound inside the printer instead of falling onto the floor. In batch take-up mode the printed labels themselves are rewound for later application. The take-up hub holds roughly 30 to 40 percent of a full size media roll. The photoelectric label taken sensor holds the next copy until the printed label has been removed, which keeps print-and-apply stations synchronized. Note that the label taken sensor cannot be combined with a paper cutter.

Durability And Environment

An all-metal construction protects the print mechanism in warehouse, plant and distribution environments where dust, vibration and continuous operation are routine. The printer operates from +5°C to +40°C (+41°F to +104°F) at 10 to 90 percent relative humidity, non-condensing, and tolerates storage from -20°C to +70°C. Power input spans 90 to 265 V AC at 45 to 65 Hz, drawing 5 W in standby and peaking at 400 W during printing. The magnetic QuickMount printhead assembly is replaced without tools, so a consumable printhead change does not require a service visit. The platform is RoHS compliant and carries CE (EN55032 Class B), FCC Class B and Energy Star 3.0 qualification, backed by a one year factory warranty.

Deployment And Management

The PX45A is a smart printer that can host standalone applications written in Fingerprint or C#, so the rewinder station can be driven without a dedicated PC. Fleet setup is handled through PrintSet 5, Honeywell's web-based configuration tool, with PrintSet MC available from a mobile device, while cloud-based Operational Intelligence gives remote visibility of printer status before faults interrupt production. Windows environments are served by the Honeywell InterDriver and Linux hosts by CUPS, and label design works with BarTender, NiceLabel and Teklynx LabelView. SOTI Connect integration extends the printer into existing device management estates, and the USB host port accepts FAT16 or FAT32 memory devices for loading fonts, graphics and label formats directly at the printer.

Typical Deployment Environments

The rewinder and label taken sensor configuration suits print-and-apply and peel-and-present stations where an operator or applicator takes one label at a time, and batch runs where printed labels must be rewound for later application. Honeywell positions the PX45 platform for distribution and warehouse operations, manufacturing plants and healthcare facilities running compliance labeling with variable data that must be produced immediately. In distribution centers it supports carton, pallet and shipping label production at pack-out; in manufacturing it prints work-in-progress and product identification labels beside the line; in healthcare it supports labeling workflows that demand consistent, legible barcodes.
