How it works
The device connects via USB to your computer where you design labels using compatible software or business applications. It then uses direct thermal printing—no ink needed—for fast production on either roll-fed paper LW labels or snap-in plastic D1 tape cartridges suited for different labeling tasks.[1][3][7]
