FAQ
What is the difference between direct thermal and thermal transfer printing?
Direct thermal printing uses heat-sensitive label stock (no ribbon), lowering consumable costs but limiting label durability. Thermal transfer uses ribbon and standard labels, offering longer-lasting barcodes for outdoor or harsh environments.
Is this printer suitable for e-commerce shipping labels?
Yes, the 54mm max width fits standard 4×6 shipping labels (rotated), and 4 IPS speed handles typical label volumes in small-to-medium online retail operations.
What media types does it support?
It supports continuous rolls, gap-sensed labels, black-mark sensed labels, and punched-hole media. Consult the datasheet for specific media recommendations and suppliers.
