- What is the difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer on this printer?
- Direct thermal prints on heat-sensitive labels with no ribbon, which is fine for short-life labels like shipping. Thermal transfer uses a ribbon and plain labels, giving print that holds up longer against heat, light and abrasion.
- What resolution and speed does it print at?
- It prints at 300 dpi up to 6 inches per second, with a maximum print width of 4.13 inches. That resolution is aimed at small text and dense barcodes.
- How can I connect it?
- It has USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so it can sit on a desk wired to one PC or be shared over a network. It carries 128 MB of memory.
- Is it good for barcodes and small labels?
- Yes. The 300 dpi head is the main reason to choose it over 203 dpi models, since barcodes and small type stay legible at small label sizes.
- Do I need to buy ribbons?
- Only if you print by thermal transfer. In direct thermal mode it needs no ribbon, just compatible thermal labels.
- Who is it not for?
- Anyone printing only a handful of labels now and then, or needing to print away from a desk. A smaller 203 dpi or mobile printer fits those jobs better.
