In the fast-paced world of mobile work, you need a printer that keeps up with you—not the other way around. The Intermec PR3 Direct Thermal Printer is built for field professionals who demand all‑day comfort, rugged durability, and dependable performance in a compact, lightweight package. The 3‑inch wide PR3 version (with a 2‑inch PR2 sibling) delivers some of the fastest, most dependable portable receipt printing available, turning on-site transactions into smooth, professional moments. Direct thermal technology means fewer moving parts, less maintenance, and receipts that stand up to the elements—perfect for service calls, mobile retail, deliveries, and field operations where a crisp print matters as much as speed.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with today’s mobile and POS ecosystems, the PR3 combines USB connectivity for reliable wired printing with Bluetooth for cable-free pairing to smartphones, tablets, and rugged handheld devices. The included battery ensures you can print through busy days without constantly hunting for a power source, while the compact form factor minimizes fatigue and makes long shifts more comfortable. Monochrome prints are clean, legible, and durable, resisting fade and moisture so receipts remain verifiable long after they’re printed. With its robust construction and field-oriented features, the PR3 is ready to tackle deliveries, service confirmations, quick invoices, and on-the-spot receipts wherever your work takes you.

Whether you’re outfitting a fleet of service technicians, arming a mobile checkout operation, or equipping a retail pop-up, the Intermec PR3 stands out for reliability and simplicity. Its 3-inch print width aligns with standard receipt templates used by popular POS software, while the device’s rugged housing protects it against drops, dust, and temperature variations common in field environments. The ease of use—load media, connect via USB or Bluetooth, and print—minimizes downtime and training needs for your team. In sum, the PR3 offers a balanced mix of portability, speed, and durability that helps your business stay efficient and professional on every job site.

Intermec’s reputation for field-ready mobile printing is reflected in the PR3’s thoughtful details: quick media loading, secure connectivity, and a design that optimizes print quality for monochrome receipts. It’s a practical choice for technicians who need to issue receipts after on-site visits, drivers who must provide proof of delivery, or sales staff who rely on instant receipts to close a sale. The combination of direct thermal print technology, USB and Bluetooth options, and an included battery translates into a dependable, maintenance-light device that reduces total cost of ownership and supports a smoother workflow from dispatch to customer handoff.
