Specifications
The maximum supported printer height is approximately 18.0 mm with the use of a 24 mm tape. With the AC adapter as the primary power source, the printer can operate at a maximum speed of 30 mm per second. However, when running on batteries, the maximum speed it can reach is 20 mm per second. Hence, the actual speed of the printer is dependent on the power source and other fundamental conditions.
The printer is compatible with Brother TZe tape cassettes, available in a variety of widths including 3.5mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 18mm, and 24mm. The width of the tape chosen will determine the number of lines that can be printed by the device. A range of tape types is available, each with unique characteristics and print capabilities.
In addition, the printer has a memory buffer size that can store up to 18297 characters, allowing for a maximum of 99 files to be saved. This feature ensures that multiple print jobs can be completed efficiently without the need for constant reloading of the tape cassette.
The maximum storage capacity for transferred memory is limited to 99 templates, databases and images, with a total capacity of 6 MB. As previously analyzed, the power source options for the device include an AC power adapter, current source, as well as an inbuilt rechargeable Lithium-ion battery, six “AA” alkaline batteries or six “AA” Ni-MH batteries.
