Specifications
The printer boasts additional functionalities, such as a print height that can reach up to 18.0 mm, particularly when employed with a 24 mm tape. It is worth noting that the character size may not necessarily match the maximum print height. As for the cutting options, users can choose from a small margin, large margin, chain cut, no cut, or a specific tape cut, depending on their preferences.
In terms of power consumption, this printer boasts six built-in LR6 alkaline batteries and six HR6 Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. Additionally, the printer offers optional power sources such as the BA-E001 Li-ion battery and AC adapter power source. It’s worth noting that the printer also includes an auto power-off feature that is dependent on the current power source in use.
To illustrate, in the case of utilizing alkaline batteries, the printer will shut down after a period of 20 minutes of idleness, whereas when using Li-ion batteries, the countdown for power off is extended to roughly 30 minutes of inactivity. Upon being connected to an AC power source, the power off features of the printer will be activated following 60 minutes of inactivity.
When utilizing an AC power adapter, the printer operates at a top-notch velocity of 30 mm per second. However, when running on the battery, the printer’s speed decelerates to 20 mm per second. It is imperative to note that the printer’s general printing velocity fluctuates based on numerous factors, such as the document’s intricacy and the printer’s prevailing conditions.
According to the specifications, the device boasts a width of approximately 121.8mm, a depth of roughly 245mm and a height of 90.6mm. The printer weighs in at an estimated 830g, a measurement taken without the inclusion of batteries and tape cassettes.
