Limitations

The PB42's print width is limited to smaller receipts, which may not suit all applications requiring larger formats. Battery life can be constrained under intensive usage without AC adapter support. Connectivity options might be limited compared to newer generation models, potentially affecting integration with modern systems. The device may lack advanced wireless security features present in later devices. Replacement parts and accessories may be harder to source due to the product's age. Additionally, firmware updates are less frequent, which could limit adaptability to evolving business requirements.
