Limitations

The printer supports only single-sided card printing, limiting certain applications requiring double-sided cards. Its print resolution is capped at 300 dpi, which may not match higher-end models with finer image quality. There is no Ethernet or wireless connectivity option, restricting network integration. The card capacity in the input hopper and output stacker is limited, requiring frequent replenishment for large print jobs. It lacks advanced security features such as smart card encoding. Firmware and driver updates may be limited due to the model's discontinued status.
