Today, we’re covering the RP2e and RP4e Series of industrial mobile receipt printers from Honeywell.

Look no farther than the RPe Series if you need an extremely durable and dependable mobile receipt printer for route accounting, direct retail delivery, citation printing, auto rental return receipts, and other similar applications.

How Durable are the RPe Series Printers?

The RPe Series mobile printers are designed to withstand the worst conditions imaginable, as seen by their extensive temperature range and IP54 classification, which protects against the entrance of dust and moisture. Mobile printers are subjected to a variety of forms of routine abuse, some of the most common of which are repeated drops, vibration, and exposure to dust and water.

These arduous conditions are no match for the RPe printers, which are built to resist them and provide you with years of reliable thermal receipt and label printing. Both the RP2e and RP4e rugged printers endure drops to concrete, exposure to dust and water, and continuous high volume printing throughout the day with a battery life that can last an entire shift.

How is the Battery Charge of the RP2e and/or RP4e?

Speaking of battery life, all models include a rechargeable battery that can be charged either inside or outside the printer. This battery was made to last most of an entire field worker’s shift for the majority of possible applications. The RP2 has a 4 hour charge, while the RP4e has a max charge around 7 hours. It’s also possible to change the battery in a high-discharge current lithium-ion cell battery without having to reset the printer or lose communication.

The latest RPe printers can operate without a battery for up to one hundred and twenty seconds (depending on whether or not it uses wireless connections) without dropping its connection or requiring a restart.

In addition to long battery life and hot swapping convenience, your field workers will also have no trouble handling the printer easily over the course of a busy workday, thanks to its lightweight construction and ergonomic layout. Weighing in at just 2.2 pounds or lighter depending on the model, and a very compact 6″ x 4″ x 3″ size – it’s incredibly easy to handle Honeywell’s latest mobile printer.

What are the Printing Capabilities of the RPe Series Printers?

The RP2e / RP4e printers are optimized to print labels and receipts continuously throughout the day at a rate of up to five inches per second.

The printer has a large media capacity and can accommodate labels with or without a liner. Additionally, it has the ability to detect gaps between labels as well as black lines on the top or bottom of the media.

Each version of the RPe Series is capable of printing a variety of print widths, and the RPe Series itself comes in a variety of print widths to accommodate your specific need.

A battery eliminator option is offered for use in situations in which the printer will be permanently installed in a vehicle and connected to a power source. The printer is also capable of monitoring its own health and providing analytics pertaining to the age of the battery, the quality of the printhead, and any odd environmental circumstances that the printer may have been exposed to. This enables you to manage your whole fleet of printers and ensures that you have the highest possible uptime.

The Operational Intelligence solution offers insights to assist with the management, tracking, and optimization of printer assets, which enables preemptive repair and replacement.

Comparing the RP2e vs. the RP4e Printer

The main difference is size, with the RP2e mobile printer being a slightly lighter and compact version. The RP4e mobile printer is just a bit larger and heavier, but allows for slightly larger media rolls and receipt sizes.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is gaining traction in every industry and sector, from consumer electronics and retail to transportation and logistics, and even healthcare. This trend is expected to continue in the foreseeable future.

IoT is a powerful tool which allows businesses to improve their operational efficacy, the quality of the customer experience they provide, the insights they gain, and the quality of the decisions they make on their business’s success.

When business-critical Internet of Things devices go down, an organization can lose visibility into its operations. The consequences are severe, including lost income, efficiency, and safety.

A greater dependence on IoT results in an increase in the management complexity required for things like device analytics, remote assistance, firmware updates, and security measures. How are all of the numerous device makers, models, firmware versions, and communication protocols going to be managed inside a unified IT infrastructure for an enterprise? That’s where our longtime partners at SOTI come in.
