Honeywell RP4 Rugged Mobile Printers

The Honeywell RP4 is a rugged 4-inch mobile printer designed for reliable receipt and label printing in demanding field, route, vehicle-based and mobile workforce environments. As part of the Honeywell RP Series, the RP4 is built for applications where printers are frequently exposed to drops, vibration, dust, moisture and changing outdoor or in-vehicle conditions. The RP4 is well suited for route accounting, direct store delivery, field service, car rental return receipts, citation printing, mobile receipt printing, transport documentation, logistics labels and wider mobile label printing tasks. Compared with the RP2, the RP4 provides a wider print format, making it more suitable for applications where 2-inch receipts or small labels are not enough. The RP4 is designed for tough daily use. It meets IP54 protection against dust and moisture ingress, is drop tested from 2 m, and is tested to 1,000 tumbles at 0.5 m. This rugged design is important for mobile workers who carry printers throughout the day, use them in vehicles, work outdoors or operate in environments where equipment is regularly exposed to rough handling. The printer operates from -20°C to +55°C and can be stored from -30°C to +65°C. Charging temperature is 0°C to +50°C, and operating humidity is 10% to 90% non-condensing. These specifications make the RP4 suitable for varied field and fleet conditions, including cold, warm and changing mobile work environments. The RP4 is the 4-inch model in the RP Series. It measures 187 mm × 164 mm × 77 mm and weighs 0.90 kg with battery and without media. While larger than the RP2, it remains practical for mobile use, especially when the workflow requires wider labels, delivery documents or larger receipts. Media handling supports mobile receipt and label applications. The RP4 accepts media roll widths from 51 mm to 111 mm, with a maximum print width of 104 mm. It supports receipt paper, linered labels and linerless labels when equipped with the linerless option. Media sensing supports black mark or gap sensing, allowing the printer to handle different mobile label and receipt formats. Maximum roll outside diameter is 58 mm, and supported core inner diameters are 10.16 mm, 19 mm and 25.4 mm. Supported media thickness ranges from 0.05 mm to 0.16 mm. The RP Series is optimized for all-day receipt printing at speeds up to 5 inches per second and is also designed for label printing. For the RP4, this means users can produce wider receipts and labels directly at the point of activity, supporting delivery, service, rental, citation, logistics and field documentation workflows. The RP4 uses a high-capacity smart battery with 5200 mAh capacity. The battery can be charged inside or outside the printer and is designed to support full-shift use in most applications. Typical charge time for the RP4 battery is listed as 7 hours. The printer supports hot-swappable battery operation, maintaining wireless connection for up to 2 minutes on Bluetooth configurations and up to 20 seconds on Wi-Fi configurations. This helps users replace the battery during a shift without restarting the printer or losing connectivity. For applications where the printer is permanently mounted in a vehicle, a battery eliminator SKU option is available. This is useful for route delivery vehicles, service vans, fleet applications or other fixed in-vehicle workflows where the printer is connected to vehicle power. Connectivity options are broad for a rugged mobile printer. The RP4 supports USB 2.0 with On-The-Go capabilities for scanner, scale and keyboard input. NFC is available for pairing and retrieving configuration and diagnostic information. Bluetooth support includes Bluetooth 4.0 + LE dual radio mode, serial port profile, security modes and Apple iOS compatibility. Wireless configurations support 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth dual radio mode, with infrastructure and ad hoc access modes. The printer supports common wireless security and networking functions, including WEP, WPA, WPA2, PSK and enterprise modes, with authentication options such as LEAP, EAP-PEAP, EAP-FAST, EAP-TTLS and EAP-LEAP. Supported internet protocols include UDP/TCP, DHCP, BootP, FTP, FTPS, SFTP, TFTP, Telnet, LPD and SNMP. Remote and auto update features are also listed, supporting fleet-level deployment and management. The RP4 includes intelligent backlit icons for On/Off, battery charge, battery life, media status and communication status. These indicators help mobile workers understand printer status quickly without navigating a complex menu. Drop-in media loading, adjustable media arms and the 4-inch printer fan-fold slot support easier daily operation and more flexible media handling. Printer health analytics are a major operational advantage of the RP4. The printer can report usage and condition information related to battery age, printhead condition and environmental history. This helps fleet managers plan proactive maintenance, replace ageing batteries or printheads before failure, and identify unusual or extreme environmental exposure. Software and integration support are broad. The RP Series supports NETira Configuration Tool for printer setup, NETira Remote Management for monitoring and management, NETira MD for smart mobile devices, and compatibility with AirWatch, Wavelink Avalanche MC and SOTI Mobilink. Network compatibility includes TCP/IP-based networks and AS/400 LPD-based networks. Printer language compatibility includes Line Printer Mode, Easy Print, DPL, ZPL II, CPCL, IPL and limited XML. Driver support includes Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and 10. Label design software compatibility includes BarTender, Niceware/NiceLabel and other tools, while ERP compatibility includes SAP and Oracle. SDK support is listed for Android 2.1 and above, Apple iOS 5, 6 and 7, Windows Desktop up to Windows 8, Windows 8 Store, Windows Mobile and Windows CE, with C++, C#, Java and ActiveX support. Accessories support mobile, wearable and vehicle-mounted deployments. Available options include USB communication cable, belt clip, heavy-duty Velcro belt mount, shoulder strap, hand strap, environmental soft case, single mount with MFxT adapter, wall adapter plate kit, settlement room 5-mount with charger, single vehicle mount with RAM arm, spare batteries, regional AC adaptors, cigarette adaptor vehicle charger and four-bay smart battery charger. Overall, the Honeywell RP4 is a rugged 4-inch mobile printer for organisations that need reliable wider-format receipt and label printing in tough field conditions. Its strongest value lies in the combination of 4-inch mobile print capability, rugged IP54 construction, 2 m drop resistance, hot-swappable 5200 mAh smart battery, broad connectivity, media flexibility and printer health analytics.
