Service
Under normal conditions, Intermec supports a product for a minimum of 3 years, though typically longer, after product retirement. Intermec’s ability to continue support after the initial three year period is dependent upon availability of spare parts and vendor obsolescence issues that are beyond Intermec’s control.
