The industrial EasyCoder® PM4i is designed to excel in demanding applications and environments. Utilizing the latest technology, the PM4i features a strong and proven mechanical platform, and powerful newly developed electronics. It is the first label printer to offer integrated serial, USB and EasyLAN™ Ethernet interfaces as standard equipment. Optional interfaces include parallel, double serial and industrial, and EasyLAN Wireless. The EasyLAN Wireless interface uses an integrated standard 802.11b radio, providing 128-bit WEP encryption. The PM4i can operate as a “smart client” eliminating the PC from the application. Additionally, the PM4i can be used to run peripheral devices such as scanners, weight scales and other printers.
