This makes it suitable for labels on products, assets, or items in demanding environments or requiring long lifespans.
• Print Resolution: Offers a standard resolution of 300 dpi (dots per inch), providing excellent detail and clarity for intricate barcodes, graphics, and text, even on smaller labels. Lower resolution options (203 dpi) might be available on some models for applications where speed is a bigger priority.
• Print Speed: Delivers labels at a rate of up to 5 inches per second (ips), ensuring efficient printing for moderate to high-volume tasks.
• Maximum Print Width: Accommodates labels up to 4.1 inches (104 millimeters) wide, offering flexibility for various label sizes commonly used in industrial and commercial settings.

Media Handling and Usability:
