Key Advantages

The Brother PocketJet PJ-663 provides true portability with its lightweight, compact design that fits easily into briefcases or vehicle consoles. It employs direct thermal printing technology, resulting in quiet operation and no dependency on costly ink ribbons or cartridges. The full 8.5-inch print width offers full-letter size printing capability, suitable for professional documents. It supports both serial and parallel interfaces, ensuring versatile device connectivity for various equipment. Its fast print speed improves efficiency for field professionals needing immediate printouts. Additionally, it is powered by batteries or AC adapters, allowing flexible use in multiple environments.

Limitations

The thermal printing technology used by the Brother PJ-663 is limited to monochrome output and does not support color printing. Printed documents are sensitive to heat and light, which can cause fading over time, making them less suitable for long-term archival. The maximum print resolution of 203 dpi provides acceptable clarity but is insufficient for high-detail graphic prints. Compatibility largely depends on appropriate drivers and interface availability, which may be restricted with newer operating systems or devices. The printer requires specific continuous thermal paper, which may not be as readily available as standard cut-sheet paper. Battery life may limit extended use in field environments without access to recharging options.
