Why the PX940

Precise industrial labels, verified as printed on the PX940V

The PX940 is Honeywell's high-performance 4-inch industrial printer for operations where an unreadable barcode means a returned shipment, a rejected pallet or a penalty from a customer. Honeywell sells two versions: the PX940V with an integrated label verifier, and the PX940A without it. Honeywell's quick start guide calls these the PX940 Verifier and the PX940 Productivity.

Catch a bad barcode before it leaves the line

On the PX940V a 600 dpi verifier with a 660 nm light reads each barcode across a 108 mm scan width as the label comes out. Honeywell states it reports pass or fail and an ANSI grade from 0.0 (F) to 4.0 (A); a label below the threshold you set is voided and printed again.

Precise on small labels

Print registration is up to ±0.2 mm, and a dual label-stop sensor helps place print on small labels edge to edge. Honeywell gives a minimum label length of 3 mm in tear-off mode, 6 mm in rewind mode and 12.7 mm in self-strip (peel) mode.

Three printheads for different jobs

203 dpi prints shipping and carton labels at up to 350 mm/s (14 ips). 300 dpi runs at up to 300 mm/s (12 ips), and 600 dpi, for very small codes and fine text, at up to 150 mm/s (6 ips). Print width is up to 108 mm at 203 dpi.

Fewer stops for supplies

Label rolls up to 212.7 mm (8.375 in) in diameter on a 3-inch core, and ribbons of about 450 m on a 1-inch core, either ink in or ink out. Wax, mid-range and resin ribbons are supported.

Fits into an existing print setup

Runs Fingerprint, Direct Protocol, IPL (203 and 300 dpi only), DPL and ZSim2 (ZPL-II) emulation, plus XML for SAP AII and Oracle WMS. Drivers for Windows (InterDriver) and Linux (CUPS), Honeywell device types for SAP, and support in BarTender, NiceLabel and Teklynx LabelView.

Built for uptime and easy service

An all-metal print mechanism, a printhead that is easy to change and a platen roller that changes without tools. A 3.5-inch colour touch screen, a side-loading media path, and Operational Intelligence software that reports printer health across a fleet.

Used in

For buyers in India

Using the PX940 in India

These are the points buyers in India ask us about the PX940. Mention the ones that apply to you when you request a quote.

Put a line printer on a stabiliser or UPS

A PX940 that runs a production line should sit on a voltage stabiliser or online UPS, which also rides out dips and cuts. Honeywell rates it at 100 to 240 V AC, 50 to 60 Hz, which covers India's 50 Hz mains.

Run the PX940 in an air-conditioned room

Run the PX940 in an air-conditioned room, not at an open dock. Honeywell rates it for +5 °C to +40 °C and 20% to 85% humidity, non-condensing.

Verifies pharma QR print quality, not the data

The PX940V checks the print quality of QR codes on API and medicine labels; the data in the code is still your system's job. It verifies QR Code and Data Matrix, and Honeywell states its 2D verification conforms to ISO/IEC 15415-2011, with a minimum cell size of 10 mil (0.254 mm).

Verifies EAN-13 and carton codes to 10 mil

The PX940V verifies EAN-13, GS1-128 and ITF-14 to ISO/IEC 15416-2016, down to a 10 mil (0.254 mm) bar. GS1 India issues the EAN-13 product barcodes that start with 890. At 203 dpi one dot is 0.125 mm (25.4 / 203), so a 10 mil bar is about 2 dots. At 300 dpi it is about 3 dots of 0.085 mm.

Plan the line on wired Ethernet

Plan a PX940 line on wired Ethernet, and ask us before you count on Wi-Fi. Ethernet 10/100, USB and RS-232 are built in. Honeywell's PX940 accessory guide lists no Wi-Fi kit for India.

More detail

More about the Honeywell PX940

Extremely precise printing of up to +/-0.2 mm (0.0079 in) virtually eliminates poor-quality, unreadable labels and barcodes.

On the PX940V, integrated label verification technology checks and ensures that barcodes are accurate every time: instantly notifies you of pass/fail status and ANSI grade.

Easy to use and maintain, with a color multilingual touchscreen interface and quick side-loading design.

Smart printing capability allows users to configure and print without the need for a host computer.

Operational Intelligence software provides predictive analytics and data on printer health to help managers oversee their entire printer fleet and proactively prevent issues, ensuring maximum uptime.

Exploring for a different use?

If your job differs from what the PX940 is built for, these Honeywell models may fit it better:

  • Buyers who need RFID, an LTE connection or a 406 dpi printhead, and check barcodes another way, often look at the Honeywell PM45 (up to 14 ips, ±0.5 mm registration, 12.1 kg).
  • Buyers who print shipping or product labels at a desk rather than on a production line often look at the Honeywell PC42E-T (4-inch desktop printer, 203 or 300 dpi, Ethernet built in).

Questions buyers ask

PX940 FAQ

What is the price of the Honeywell PX940 in India?

The PX940 price depends on the resolution you choose (203, 300 or 600 dpi), the options you add and the quantity. We can quote the labels and ribbon with it. Ask our team for today's competitive price: share your requirement and budget, and we will help you choose the right configuration and send a written quotation with current pricing and delivery time.

PX940 or PM45: which one do we need?

Both print 4-inch labels at up to 14 ips. Choose the PX940V when every barcode must be graded before it ships: it verifies as it prints and reprints failed labels, and registration is ±0.2 mm against ±0.5 mm on the PM45. Choose the PM45 for RFID, LTE, a 406 dpi printhead or a lighter 12.1 kg printer.

What does the verifier actually do?

On the PX940V a 600 dpi scanner reads each barcode after printing. Honeywell states it gives pass or fail and an ANSI grade from 0.0 to 4.0, voids labels below your threshold and prints them again. Reports go to the web page, a USB drive, FTP/SFTP or your software through VII. It checks print quality, not whether the data is correct.

Does verification slow the printer down?

Honeywell gives a maximum verification speed of 250 mm/s (10 ips) at 203 and 300 dpi and 150 mm/s (6 ips) at 600 dpi, against a top print speed of 350 mm/s at 203 dpi. Verification is also switched off while a C# smart-printing app runs. Tell us your label size and hourly volume so we can size the line.

Can it print our existing ZPL or Datamax label formats?

The PX940 runs ZSim2 (ZPL-II) emulation and DPL alongside Honeywell's Fingerprint, Direct Protocol and IPL (IPL on 203 and 300 dpi only). Honeywell also names the PX940 as the replacement for its H-Class printers. Emulation can differ in small details such as fonts, so send us a sample format with your quote request.

Which labels and ribbons does it take?

Labels and tags 20 to 114 mm wide, 3 to 10 mil thick, on rolls up to 212.7 mm in diameter on a 3-inch core, or fan-fold. Ribbons 51 to 110 mm wide, about 450 m on a 1-inch core, wax, mid-range or resin, ink in or ink out. Media and ribbon are sold separately; see our labels and ribbons pages.

Will it run on the 240 V supply in Tamil Nadu?

Yes. Honeywell rates the PX940 at 100 to 240 V AC, 50 to 60 Hz, so 240 V at 50 Hz is inside its rating. Where mains runs high, we recommend a voltage stabiliser or online UPS on production-line printers.

Can Allmark install the PX940 and connect it to our software?

Yes. We install the PX940 at your site, connect it so your ERP, warehouse or billing software prints to it (our own warehouse management system included) and train the people who use it. Tell us the software when you ask for a quote, and we include the setup in the quotation.
