Specifications
The printer boasts an impressive maximum print height of 18.0 mm, particularly when utilizing a 24 mm tape. It’s worth noting, however, that the character size may be smaller than this maximum limit. The cut options are diverse and include small margin, large margin, chain cut, no cut, and specific tape cut, providing users with ample flexibility in their printing needs.
In terms of power consumption, this printer boasts six inbuilt “AA” alkaline batteries (LR6) and six “AA” Ni-MH rechargeable batteries (HR6). For those seeking alternative power sources, options include the Li-ion battery (BA-E001) and the AC adapter power source. Additionally, the printer is equipped with an auto power-off option that is dependent on the current power source in use.
As an illustration, if the printer is fueled by alkaline batteries, it will shut down after 20 minutes of idleness; however, if powered by Li-ion batteries, it will initiate the power off sequence after approximately 30 minutes of inactivity. In addition, when the printer is connected to an AC power source, the power-saving functionality will activate after 60 minutes of inactivity.
When utilizing an AC power adapter, the printer is capable of reaching a peak velocity of 30 mm per second. Conversely, when running on battery, the printer’s velocity is reduced to a rate of 20 mm per second. It should be noted that the actual print speed may differ depending on the intricacy of the document being printed and other printer-specific factors.
According to the device’s physical specifications, it boasts an estimated width of 121.8 mm, a depth of roughly 245 mm, and a towering height of 90.6 mm. The printer’s weight tips the scales at around 830g, excluding the batteries and tape cassette.
