This model uses direct thermal printing technology, which relies on heat-sensitive media and may result in labels that fade over time, especially when exposed to heat or sunlight. The maximum print speed of 5 ips, while adequate for many applications, is slower compared to some newer industrial label printers. It does not support color printing as it is strictly a monochrome thermal printer. The printer lacks Wi-Fi connectivity out-of-the-box; networking requires optional hardware. Label roll capacity is limited compared to larger desktop or industrial printers, requiring more frequent media changes. The device is primarily suited for indoor use and may not perform optimally in harsh environmental conditions.
