Honeywell Introduces the MP Series Industrial Label Printers
Honeywell’s MP Series Industrial Label Printers are a set of rugged and easy-to-use industrial printers. The MP Series can do as much as the large industrial printers but only need a fraction of the space. With an all-metal casing that makes them ideal for harsh industrial environments, these Honeywell printers are quiet and small enough to operate in low noise environments, including offices or hospitals. The MP Series comes in two models, the MP Nova and the MP Compact.
The MP Nova printers occupy less than half the space of traditional industrial label printers allowing users to retain valuable work space. The MP Nova printers can be used in almost any orientation, including the ability to be mounted upside down. With Large, easy-to-manage levers, single-handed media removal, and open covers make the MP Nova the next generation in ergonomic printer engineering that saves money, time, and space.
The MP Compact has a small footprint and takes up little room in smaller crowded areas with ability to be mounted on walls, manufacturing lines, and mobile trolleys. An option for the MP Compact comes with 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless LAN making it easy to connect to networks and to use mobile printing operations such as a forklift.

Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Mandate
In 2012, the United States Congress enacted the “Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century†bill, which included a provision requiring the FMCSA to develop a rule mandating the use of Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs). The purpose of the ELD was to electronically record a driver’s Record of Duty Status (RODS), which replaces the paper log book that drivers use to record their compliance with Hours of Service (HOS) requirements. In December 2015, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) published the final electronic logging device rule, or ELD Mandate. In accordance with the mandate, fleets have until December 2017 to implement certified ELDs to record HOS. Additionally, fleets that are already equipped with ELD technology will have until December 2019 to ensure compliance with the published specifications.
What does an ELD do?
ELDs installed in motor vehicles can monitor and record a whole host of data about the vehicle and its driver that go beyond RODS – from Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR) to driver behavior reporting on speeding, idling, and hard braking. Many systems are capable of integrating map and route optimization solutions as well, which can help drivers navigate through the best routes on any given day.
What are the benefits of ELD?
Besides being in compliance and avoiding heavy fees, many fleets are already seeing the benefits of ELDs, such as:
- Saves the drive time by reducing paperwork
- Keeps a dispatcher updated on a driver’s status, while letting them plan for loads better in light of HOS compliance needs
- Reduces the hassle of keeping a paper
- Tracks a driver’s HOS electronically
- Ensures drive segments are capture through being “integrally synchronized†with a truck’s engine
- Synchronizes driver with fleet manager by passing data to a system where one can see e-logs in a near real-time basis
- Save money by reducing fuel costs
Can I use rugged smartphones and tablets instead?
Knowing that there is a cost burden associated with adopting new technology, the FMCSA has authorized the use of rugged handhelds, smartphones, and tablets as the system as a whole meets ELD requirements, including a hardwired connection to the truck’s engine. This helps address the start-up costs associated with some of the HOS compliance systems. Furthermore, most truck drivers are already using rugged devices as part of their other operations, such as direct store delivery, signature capture, route optimization, and inventory management. They also allow the drivers the flexibility to choose from a wide range of mobile devices that they are comfortable using.
What are some mobile device options?
While there are hundreds of devices to choose from, here are some of the newest technologies that are ideal for the on-the-go driver:
- Zebra TC56 rugged smartphone
- Honeywell CT50 rugged smartphone
- Panasonic Toughpad FZ-G1 rugged tablet
- Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet

Honeywell’s Rugged Mobile Printers the RP Series
Together the RP2 and the RP4 create the RP Series Mobile Receipt Printers. The RP Series are a set of rugged printers from Honeywell that are built to last in harsh environments that consists of multiple drops, vibration, and exposure to dust and water. With a rechargeable battery that can be charged inside or outside the printer and is designed to last a full shift for most use cases. The battery is hot-swappable meaning the printer can run for 20-120 seconds, depending on wireless communications, without a battery and not lose connectivity or need a restart enhancing productivity throughout the work day. The printer was also designed to keep track of its health, providing analytics on the age of the battery, printhead condition, and any unusual or extreme environmental conditions.
The Ultra rugged printer has a drop rating of 6.6 feet (2m) and has an IP54 dust and moisture ingress. Prints receipts up to five inches per second. The printers can also support labels with and without a liner, and sense gaps between labels or black marks on the top or bottom of the media. The RP Series printers are compatible with all popular thermal printer languages and protocols.
