Limitations

The print speed, while adequate for label and receipt printing, may not satisfy high-volume or high-speed office environments. Its battery life, though decent, requires regular recharging for extensive use which could inconvenience some users. The printer is optimized for small paper sizes, limiting its use for larger format printing tasks. It lacks Ethernet or Wi-Fi connectivity, restricting network printing capabilities.
