Key Advantages

The TSP700 series delivers exceptional print speed and high-resolution output, boosting transaction efficiency in busy retail environments. Their direct thermal technology means no consumable ink or toner is necessary, reducing maintenance costs and downtime. The printers feature user-friendly drop-in paper loading that minimizes operational interruptions. Multiple interface options increase compatibility with diverse POS systems. Designed with a compact footprint, they help save valuable counter space. The robust construction and reliability ensure long-term operation with minimal service issues.

Limitations

As thermal printers, the TSP700 series require special thermal paper, which can limit printing options and increase consumable costs. They do not support color printing, restricting use to monochrome receipts. The TSP700 model's connectivity options are somewhat outdated compared to modern network-enabled printers, limiting integration flexibility. Their drivers and software support might be less compatible with the latest operating systems. The printing technology may cause paper fade over extended time periods due to thermal sensitivity. The devices may lack some advanced features found in newer models, such as wireless connectivity or higher print resolutions.
