Introducing the PF8 Printers

What's New

The PF8 desktop printers are lightweight, reliable, and easy-to-use.
Both printers are designed to print a low volume of labels, less than
1000 labels, per day. There are two models of the PF8 printer:
• The PF8d is a 203 dpi direct thermal printer.
• The PF8t is a direct thermal or thermal transfer printer that is
available in 203 and 300 dpi models.
Both PF8 printers come with parallel, serial RS-232, and USB ports.
You can install a cutter or label stripper module accessory on both
models of the PF8. You can also install a CompactFlash card adapter
on the PF8t.
The discharge of electrostatic energy accumulated on the
human body, clothing, or other surfaces can damage or destroy
the printhead or electronic components used in these printers.
Avoid touching the electrical connectors while unpacking or
setting up your printer.
Note: Unless otherwise noted, this manual uses the term PF8 to refer
to both the PF8d and PF8t printers.
The PF8 printers support these new features:
• A new Ethernet port. For more information, see
Printer to Your Network" on page
• Printer configuration using either PrintSet. For more information
