Why the PB20 Stands Out
-
Truly portable: Fits in the palm of your hand, with rugged housing for harsh environments.
-
Efficient battery life: Rapid charging and long operational time support a full service day without swap-outs.
-
Flexible interfacing: Bluetooth paired with optional wired connections (serial/infrared) ensures broad compatibility.
-
Feature-rich despite the size: Enables printing of graphics, proofs of delivery, and even capturing signatures—rare in such compact printers.
Additional Insights
-
Legacy Unit: The PB20 is discontinued but still widely used and supported.
-
Mode Configuration: Though typically shipped in Serial mode, you can toggle it to Bluetooth mode via a self-test setting.
-
Accessories: Options include extra batteries, vehicle chargers, and spare parts like power adapters.
-
Warranty & Maintenance: Standard warranty varies; battery typically less than printer life, but accessories and firmware support keep it viable. Detailed manuals (e.g., Quick Start Guide) offer instructions on battery replacement and troubleshooting.

The Intermec PB20 is a compact, robust thermal printer optimized for mobile operations. Whether you're delivering goods, issuing tickets, or capturing digital signatures in the field, it delivers reliable performance, strong battery life, and wireless flexibility—all wrapped in a rugged, lightweight package.
