Limitations
The MCP31CBi BLK US does not support color printing, limiting its use to monochrome thermal receipts. It lacks Wi-Fi connectivity as a standard feature, which may require additional hardware for wireless environments. The printer is optimized primarily for POS receipt printing, making it less suitable for high-resolution graphics printing. No automatic cutter is included in certain configurations, which might impact efficiency in high-volume settings. Firmware updates may require manual intervention and are limited compared to newer models. It may not be the best choice for high-volume enterprise printing demands due to its compact design and usage scope.
