Features:

Printing Performance:

• Print Method: Offers two printing methods:
  • Thermal Transfer: Utilizes a ribbon to produce high-resolution, durable labels that resist fading, moisture, and chemicals, ideal for applications in manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare. (Ribbons not included)
  • Direct Thermal: Uses heat-sensitive labels for faster printing at a lower cost, suitable for short-term labels that don't require extreme durability.
• Print Speed: Delivers a respectable print speed of up to 5 inches (127 mm) per second, making it efficient for handling moderate printing volumes.
• Print Resolution: Offers a standard resolution of 203 dpi (dots per inch), which is suitable for clear and legible printing of barcodes, text, and basic graphics.

Durability and Design:

• Durable Construction: Features a dual-wall frame with reinforced plastic for reliable performance in workplaces like offices, warehouses, and retail stores.
• Media Capacity: Accommodates labels with a maximum print width of 4.09 inches (104 mm) and an outer diameter of up to 300 meters (984 feet). This large ribbon capacity minimizes media changes and keeps printing operations running smoothly.
