Editorial note

The Intermec PW50A printer stands out for its high printing speed of 100 mm/sec, making it an ideal choice for professional environments requiring optimal productivity. Its direct thermal printing technology ensures quality results, perfectly suited to various printing needs. Additionally, its compact and modern design allows it to easily fit into different workspaces while optimizing space usage. However, the lack of Ethernet/LAN and Wi-Fi connectivity limits connection options, which can be problematic in environments where a network connection is necessary. Furthermore, the 6-hour battery life may prove insufficient for prolonged use without access to a power source. Although the 16 MB internal memory and 64 MB flash memory are adequate for basic applications, they may be limited for more demanding needs. In terms of weight, the printer weighs 1688 g, which may make it less portable, a factor to consider for those seeking a mobile printing solution. Overall, the Intermec PW50A offers solid performance and an attractive design, but limitations in connectivity and battery life could restrict its use in certain situations.
