Limitations
The direct thermal print technology limits print durability, as labels may fade when exposed to heat or sunlight. Print resolution of 203 dpi might be insufficient for printing highly detailed graphics or small fonts. The 4.09-inch print width restricts label size options compared to larger industrial printers. Limited onboard memory may affect complex label formats or large databases. Wireless connectivity is optional and requires additional modules, which increase total cost. The device is designed mostly for light to moderate volume applications and may not withstand heavy industrial usage.
