What is the PB42 Printer?

The PB42 printer is a rugged receipt printer designed for use

with the CK60 computer. The PB42 provides:

• Print resolution of 203 dpi

• Print speeds up to 8.5 cm (3.3 inches) per second

• Serial or Bluetooth™ communication options

Installing and Charging the Batteries

The PB42 ships with two batteries. You need to fully charge the

batteries before you can use the printer. You can charge the

batteries inside the PB42 printer or in the CK60 battery charger.

To charge the batteries in the PB42 printer, you need an AC

power adapter (P/N 851-076-001) and a power cord.

Use Intermec battery pack P/N 318-015-001 only.

Use of another pack may present a risk of fire or

explosion.

fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not

recharge, disassemble, heat above 100 C (212 F) or
