Bar code is really blurred

Tried two but unfortunately these are expensive and not usefulLooks like very good quality build, but I tried so many times including switch between mac and windows, and simply could not get it work.

Brilliant machine

Upgraded to this from a Dymo 5XL and it feels like I've been born again. This printer is fast, reliable and cheap to run unlike the Dymo which frequently had to be reinstalled, stopped for no apparent reason, has hugely expensive consumables and was slow. This is twice the price but with free consumables from Royal Mail it's a no brainer long term.

Not the simplest to set up, once ya get it its good

Being a product from Zebra, meaning that it is primarily designed for business use, means that it can be a little confusing to set up, especially the first time doing it. Although once you figure out what you're doing with it, the print quality is great for a thermal printer. The resolution is great and offers clear improvements over cheapo thermal printers that you can get for home use.The main downside I found, especially considering the price of the unit, is that the build quality really is not fantastic, it is main mostly out of plastic and feels a little hollow and cheap, although this does seem consistent with every label printer I have seen in warehouse/shop settings.

Easy to set up and print from

This is a really easy label printer to set up and use. The bluetooth allows for a easy set up and means i do not need to worry about wires being across the desk. You can use d a wired connection if that is what you prefer.It prints out quickly and efficiently, with a high quality. It is a lighweight printer, easy to move around and small enough to store too.

Excellent label printer

This has been very good for our labels, I’ve gone from printing A4 sheets of paper and cutting and sticking to this all in 1 which has been a game changer. The speed is very surprising and the thermal print is clear and accurate every time. It’s very odd not having print cartridges and as far as I can work out it will be cheaper with the cost of cartridges and paper compared to the cost of just thermal labels.The size of the printer is tiny and very easy to position, it prints in either direct thermal or thermal transfer which differ in price so depending what you want it for the choice is yours. I use the Bluetooth option which is brilliant, it’s easy to control and the settings are straight forward and it will save the choices. I’ve used a few of the main couriers, yodel, post office and more and they all print out perfectly. You have settings as well for printing darker or lighter as well which is useful, it doesn’t make any difference to the sharpness of the label, the couriers have been able to scan the barcodes every time without problem which is more than happens for my old deskjet.If you are printing a lot of labels then honestly this will be a great addition to your setup, it still boggles my mind how they can use heat to be so accurate, no clue, but this is a brilliant little printer.

required an expert to get it working on wifi

okay on usb but wifi and bluetooth suck badly.... am planning to replace it with a 50 quid Chinese thermal printer.... figure it will work better
