MK5000 w Batteries

DESIGNED FOR MOBILITY

The printer's lightweight and built-in handle improves portability. The external AA size 1.2V Ni-MH rechargeable batteries* allow you to keep the printer running when field conditions limit the availability of AC power.

*Batteries are not included with the printer. Only Panasonic eneloop 1.2V AA rechargeable batteries (model: BK-3MCCE) should be used to avoid printer safety and warranty issues. "Panasonic" and "eneloop" are registered trademarks of Panasonic Group.

PC Connectivity MK5000

Printing from PC

The PC connectivity improves productivity and workflow by allowing user to manage large amounts of data on laptops or PC. The bundled PC Connection Kit application also supports CSV file formats, improving data conversion and productivity at different work sites.

MK5000 Distributed Printing

Distributed Printing

When printing a large number of labels, printing can be done on multiple printers simultaneously from a single PC, reducing the total time required for printing.

*Compatible OS: Windows 10 and Windows 8.1. For Windows 11, the distributed printing feature will be available via a Windows 11 patch update in late 2022.

MK5000 Plate Printing

Automatic Full/Half-cut with Depth Control

Full/half automatic cut is selectable. Cutting speed and depth are also adjustable. The built-in robust cutter is capable of cutting large diameters up to 10mm, and plastic plate strips made of thicker material, eliminating the need for tedious manual cutting after printing.

Media Versatility and Wide Range of Tube Sizes Supported

Print on a variety of marking media and sizes from Ø1.5 to 10mm, including commercially available soft PVC or heat shrink tubes, label tapes and plates.
