Review: Great label maker, but needed wifi booster - amazing label maker, we were having trouble printing once in a while but this issue was fixed with a wifi booster.
Review: Great Label Printer, Immediate Setup - This Label printer is very impressive. We boought this as a replacement for a different branch of label printer that broke after 10 years of service. I was astounded when I saw that after plugging it in it printed the special labels they have correctly immediately. Label printers are usually difficult and different brands normal require different setups. Important to note this is the USB wired printer, it does not have a network interface card, it is easily shareable on a netowrk though.
