Design Principle


  • Durable metal enclosure
  • Reliable basic bar code print solution
  • Affordable metal value

    The steel-enclosed 2746e represents an affordable, basic bar code print solution for entry-level applications that specify a durable metal printer. New feature enhancements on the 2746e include expanded connectivity capability (e.g. standard serial, parallel, new USB, and internal Ethernet option), upgraded electronics, improved ribbon spindle design, additional memory, and intelligent built-in media tracking capabilities that provide additional value and reliability.

    The 2746's moderate duty cycle output capability is ideal for individual or batch labeling applications within warehousing/distribution, air freight/parcel tracking, manufacturing, and office printing. Its sturdy metal frame and intuitive design make the 2746e a natural choice for users who need a dependable, full-size, easy-to-use, 4 inch (101.6 mm) printer.
