Key Advantages

The Brother PocketJet PJ-623 offers high portability with an ultra-compact and lightweight design suitable for field workers. It utilizes direct thermal printing technology, meaning no ink or toner replacements are needed, reducing running costs. Its versatility in connectivity includes serial, USB, and infrared, enabling broad compatibility across devices. The printer supports standard letter-size media up to 8.5 inches wide, meeting common office needs. Fast print speeds ensure quick delivery of documents on demand, improving workflow efficiency. Rugged construction enhances durability against environmental challenges in mobile scenarios.

Limitations

The use of direct thermal printing limits output to monochrome images without color printing capabilities. Thermal paper media required can be sensitive to heat and light, potentially leading to document fading over time. Print resolution at 203 dpi may not suffice for detailed graphic outputs requiring higher clarity. Battery life constraints may restrict extended continuous printing without access to charging. The connectivity options, while versatile, lack modern wireless standards such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, limiting seamless integration with newer devices. It may require manual paper loading and lacks advanced paper handling features seen in larger office printers.
