Honeywell PM65 Industrial Printers

The Honeywell PM65 is a wide-format industrial label printer designed for high-quality 6-inch label printing in demanding manufacturing, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, warehouse, distribution centre, transportation and logistics environments. As part of Honeywell’s PM industrial printer range, the PM65 combines rugged construction, high-volume print capability, broad media handling, modern connectivity and enterprise-grade management tools for critical labelling workflows. The PM65 is best positioned as the wider 6-inch model in the PM45 / PM65 family. While the PM45 focuses on 4-inch industrial label printing, the PM65 is designed for applications that require wider labels, tags or linered media. It is suitable for carton labels, pallet labels, logistics labels, shipping labels, compliance labels, manufacturing labels, warehouse location labels and other identification tasks where a larger print width is required. Built on Honeywell Printer Edge, the PM65 provides a smart, connected printer platform for easier setup, enhanced security, centralized management and consistent operation across printer networks. This helps businesses manage printer fleets more effectively, monitor devices remotely and reduce downtime in high-demand operations. The PM65 supports remote printer control, allowing users to view and control printers from a remote computer for diagnosis and technical support. Print Set MC enables configuration from Android and iOS devices, while optional Honeywell Operational Intelligence can provide remote management, issue diagnostics and output performance tracking. These tools are especially useful for distributed operations where printer availability and fast troubleshooting directly affect productivity. The PM65 supports 203 dpi and 300 dpi print resolution. Maximum print width is 167.4 mm, or 6.59 inches, at both 203 dpi and 300 dpi. Maximum print length is 4.8 m at 203 dpi and 2.2 m at 300 dpi. Print speed is 50–300 mm/s, or 2–12 ips, at 203 dpi, and 50–250 mm/s, or 2–10 ips, at 300 dpi. This gives the PM65 strong performance for wide-format industrial label output where both speed and readability are important. Media handling is one of the main strengths of the PM65. The printer supports labels, tags and linered media with media widths from 51 mm to 178 mm. Supported media thickness ranges from 3 mil to 10.4 mil. It can use roll-fed or fan-fold media, with sensing for gap, notch, black mark, continuous media, media low and media end. Additional sensing includes label taken sensing, ribbon low and ribbon end sensing, and head lift sensing. The PM65 supports label rolls up to 213 mm outside diameter, with roll core inner diameters from 38 mm to 76 mm. Minimum media length is 6.4 mm for tear-off and rewinder mode, while RFID applications list a 25.4 mm minimum media length. This makes the PM65 suitable for demanding wide-label workflows where media capacity and reliable sensing are important for continuous operation. Ribbon handling supports wax, wax/resin and resin ribbons. The PM65 supports ribbon rolls up to 80 mm diameter, with up to 450 m capacity on a 25.4 mm, 1-inch core. Supported ribbon width ranges from 50.8 mm to 172.7 mm. This wide ribbon support makes the PM65 suitable for thermal transfer applications requiring durable label output across wider media. Connectivity is a major advantage of the PM65. Standard interfaces include Ethernet 10/100 Mbps, USB 2.0 Host, USB 2.0 Device and RS-232 up to 115.2 KB/s. Optional interfaces include parallel interface, WLAN, industrial interface, applicator interface and RFID. The industrial interface includes digital I/O, analog relays and RS-232/422/485 support, while the applicator interface supports integration into automated labelling systems. The PM65 also supports modern wireless and mobile connectivity. WLAN support includes IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax with Wi-Fi Alliance certification and 1×1 SISO. Security support includes OPEN, WEP, WPA/WPA2/WPA3 personal and enterprise modes, with EAP methods including PEAP, TTLS, LEAP, FAST and TLS 1.2. Bluetooth 5.1 is listed. WWAN connectivity is available through a CAT4 LTE modem with one Micro SIM card slot, supporting LTE, UMTS and GSM bands. This can help reduce dependency on local network topology and enable M2M or IoT-style printer deployments. The PM65 is scalable for RFID workflows. Optional UHF RFID support is listed for EPC Class 1 Gen2 and ISO 18000-6C, with radio configuration dependent on local UHF RFID regulations such as FCC and ETSI. Availability should be confirmed by region and exact configuration. This makes the PM65 relevant for wide RFID labels in logistics, warehousing, manufacturing and compliance applications. Software and printer language support are broad. The PM65 supports Fingerprint, Direct Protocol, Intermec Printer Language, ZSim2 for ZPL-II compatibility, DPL, XML support for SAP AII and Oracle WMS, PDF and C#. Driver and application support includes InterDriver for Windows, CUPS driver for Linux, Honeywell Device Types for SAP and Honeywell label design and print package. Smart Printing support through C# for Printers and the Honeywell Smart Printing Developer Resource Kit allows supported applications to be developed in .NET-compatible environments. The printer supports major 1D and 2D barcode symbologies and common industry standards such as UPC/EAN Shipping Container, UCC/EAN 128, Serial Shipping Container, MH10.8 Shipping Label, AIAG shipping parts label, POSTNET, HIBCC, ISBT 128, GM1724, UPS Shipping Label and Global Transport Label. Font support is based on the Monotype font engine, with non-Latin fonts available through WTLE. Graphics support includes PCX, PNG, GIF and BMP file formats. The PM65 has a rugged industrial mechanical design. It measures 484 mm × 292 mm × 350 mm and weighs 13.7 kg. The printer is built for harsh operating environments and uses a rugged all-metal print mechanism. Easy printhead replacement and tool-free platen roller replacement help reduce downtime and maintenance effort in daily industrial use. The operating environment is specified from 5°C to 40°C, with storage from -20°C to 70°C. Operating humidity is 20% to 85% non-condensing, and storage humidity is 5% to 90% non-condensing. Standard memory is 512 MB flash and 256 MB SDRAM, with support for multi-GB USB memory devices using FAT16/FAT32. User partitioning is listed as 256 MB. User interface options include Full Touch UI and Icon UI. On the Full Touch LCD and web interface, supported languages include English, Russian, German, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Korean, Thai, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Czech. Power input is 100–240 V AC at 50–60 Hz, with standby power consumption listed as 9.6 W and peak values depending on power configuration. Accessory options include integral self-strip unit with liner take-up, label taken sensor, media low sensor, media supply hub, parallel interface board, Wi-Fi 6, UHF RFID, applicator interface board, industrial interface board, collapsible rewinder core, cutter and full batch label/liner rewinder. The supplied note states that the industrial interface is not applicable when using IPL firmware, so configuration compatibility should be checked before specifying advanced interface options. Overall, the Honeywell PM65 is a high-performance 6-inch industrial printer for organisations that need wide-format label printing with strong media capacity, 450 m ribbon support, modern connectivity, remote management and scalable integration options. It is especially relevant for manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, distribution and supply chain operations where wider labels, uptime and integration flexibility are critical.
