This printer uses direct thermal technology which limits print durability; labels may fade when exposed to heat or sunlight. It has a relatively low print resolution of 203 dpi, which may be insufficient for very fine or detailed barcode requirements. The lack of standard USB connectivity can complicate connection with modern systems without additional hardware. It is designed for low to medium volume printing, making it unsuitable for high-volume industrial environments. The limited memory restricts complex label formatting and graphics. The device series is somewhat outdated, which may pose compatibility or support challenges over time.
