Key Advantages
The RL4e DUAL offers excellent ruggedness for mobile use in challenging environments. It supports direct thermal printing, eliminating the need for ink or toner and reducing maintenance needs. Dual wireless connectivity options—Bluetooth and 802.11 b/g/n—provide flexibility in diverse settings. Its compact and ergonomic design allows for easy carrying and operation on the go. The printer ensures high-quality barcode printing compatible with various mobile software applications. The integrated AC adapter supports consistent power supply to extend operation time during long shifts.
Limitations
Being a direct thermal printer, the RL4e DUAL is sensitive to exposure to heat and light, which can degrade print quality over time. The print speed is moderate compared to some other industrial mobile printers. Its print resolution is optimized for barcode and label printing but may not be suitable for high-resolution graphic prints. The device's rugged design increases its weight, which could be less comfortable for extended handheld use. The printer requires compatible ribbon and label supplies specific to Honeywell technology, limiting the use of generic consumables. Battery life may vary significantly depending on wireless usage and print volume, requiring regular recharging during heavy use periods.
