Chapter 1 — Using the PF8 Printers
2 PF8d and PF8t Desktop Printer User’s Guide
Introducing the PF8 Printers
The PF8 desktop printers are lightweight, reliable, and easy-to-use.
There are two models of PF8 printers:
• The PF8d is a 203 dpi direct thermal printer.
• The PF8t is a direct thermal or thermal transfer printer that is
available in 203 and 300 dpi models.
Both models are designed to print a low volume of labels (less than
1000 labels) per day and come with parallel, serial RS-232, and USB
ports. You can install a cutter or label self-strip module accessory on
both models of the PF8. You can also install a CompactFlash card
adapter on the PF8t.
What’s New
This version of the user’s guide includes these updates:
• Updated the illustration of the PF8d rear view connections. For
more information, see “Identifying the Parts of the PF8d” on
page 3.
• Added a procedure for enabling the USB port. For more
information, see “Connecting the Printer Through the USB
Interface” on page 40.
• Added troubleshooting tips. For more information, see
“Troubleshooting Tips” on page 53.
The discharge of electrostatic energy accumulated on the
human body, clothing, or other surfaces can damage or destroy
the printhead or electronic components used in these printers.
Avoid touching the electrical connectors while unpacking or
setting up your printer.
Note: Unless otherwise noted, this manual uses the term PF8 to refer
to both the PF8d and PF8t printers, and all graphics refer to both the
PF8t and PF8d.
