170PAX4

With improved serviceability, a faster first label out time with 12 ips print speed, and a functional RTC, Zebra's 170PAX4 print engine is designed to meet your demands. If connectivity is a concern, look no further - take advantage of optional 802.11b wireless, 10/100 Ethernet, or European 28V I/O. Print labels from 3.0" ( 76 mm ) wide to 6.6" ( 168 mm ) at 203 or 300 dpi resolution.

State-of-the-art technology lets you receive unsolicited Alert condition messages via any e-mail-enabled device or monitor and configure networked Zebra print engines remotely using any standard Web browser. Designed for high-speed, high-throughput applications, PAX OEM print engines are ideal for print/apply systems, including mission critical industrial applications, high-volume product, carton, case, and pallet labeling, and product identification.
