Manufacturing/transportation
& logistics thermal transfer applications
You likely already use a thermal transfer tabletop printer
in your operations because your printed labels need to
stay readable and scannable long-term. You apply these
long-lasting labels to items that must move through
a long supply chain, endure long storage times, and/
or encounter harsh or outdoor environments. Now you
can extend the functionality of your thermal transfer
stationary printer to print labels precisely where they
need to be applied. When you print labels on the spot
and on demand with the rugged P4T/RP4T mobile printer,
you improve worker productivity by saving steps to and
from a centralized printer. And you improve accuracy by
ensuring the right label is applied to the right item.
Typical uses
The P4T/RP4T mobile printer finds a ready home in
manufacturing plants and warehouses; retail store
warehouses, outdoor garden centers, and distribution
centers; and third party logistics warehouses.

& logistics/retail RFID applications
Whether you’ve implemented an RFID initiative to meet
compliance mandates or to gain asset visibility and
process efficiencies—or both—conveniently extend RFID
labeling to places you couldn’t before. A mobile UHF
Gen 2 RFID mobile printer for printing/encoding 4-inch
smart labels adds the step-saving efficiency of point-of-
application labeling, as well as the assurance that the
label is applied accurately to the right pallet.
Typical uses
RFID compliance
If you’re a supplier to large retailers or the U.S.
Department of Defense (DoD), you may face an RFID
compliance mandate, or may face one in the future. The
P4T/RP4T is especially valuable to:
Print new RFID pallet or carton labels when existing •
pallets are broken down and repackaged, or to replace
damaged RFID pallet labels.
When specific pallets in inventory are bound for a •
mandating customer, pick and apply RFID labels right
there in the warehouse; the P4T/RP4T forklift mount
makes it easy. Also ideal for labeling large items, or
labeling at the shipping dock.
Business improvement
As use of RFID tagging grows, your company will find a
mobile RFID printer valuable for:
Closed-loop applications such as work-in-process •
tagging and other on-site asset and inventory tracking
applications.
Streamlining logistics and supply chain management. •
Shipping/receiving, warehouse and distribution
operations can tag specific cases and pallets, as well
as large assets, on the spot—helping you improve
enterprise materials management, inventory control
and track-and-trace systems.
Retail item-level RFID tagging. Some companies are •
experimenting with tagging at the item level so they
have full supply chain visibility. A small, versatile mobile
RFID printer will be a must in retail environments for
re-pricing and restocking of product.
Now these markets and applications
can benefit from mobile printing
The easy-to-wear and carry Zebra
P4T and RFID-enabled RP4T mobile
printers are ideal for indoor and
outdoor applications in government,
manufacturing, transportation and
logistics, mobile field service and
healthcare.
