Limitations
Being a model from the late 1990s, the 450 Twin Turbo's interface options are limited primarily to parallel and sometimes serial ports, which may require adapters to connect with modern computers. The print resolution and speed, while sufficient for its time, cannot match contemporary thermal printers' high DPI and fast throughput. It lacks advanced connectivity options like USB, Ethernet, or wireless capabilities found in newer models. The machine's driver support for current operating systems might be limited or unavailable. Consumable label rolls might be proprietary or harder to source today. Additionally, the printer's size and weight make it less portable compared to modern compact label printers.
