Limitations

As a direct thermal printer, the MOD 280-UL-1's printouts may fade over time when exposed to heat or sunlight, limiting long-term durability.

The maximum print speed, while adequate for many uses, may be insufficient for extremely high-volume industrial applications.

Relatively older model technology may not support latest advanced printing languages or resolutions beyond 203 dpi.

Availability of parts and accessories could be limited due to its discontinued status.
