Awesome little printer
It’s my first day, but so far I love this thing. I’m an independent field tech who gets work from a platform. This means as work orders are posted or routed to me, I either request or accept the work. There are many different companies that assign me work and they all require different paperwork. They also require me to print a badge for each work order.This thing is handy because not only do I sometimes forget to grab pre-printed work orders and badges, but sometimes I get assigned a work order while I’m already in the field and have no way of printing out the necessary documents. This printer gives me the ability to be ready for any paperwork regardless of the situation.Right out of the box it was already at 89% battery charge, so if needed it was ready for me. It comes with a simple but informative instructional booklet with a QR code for the app of using on the mobile device. While the instructions didn’t specify how to put the printer in pairing mode (BT), it wasn’t hard for me to figure it out, as most devices use the same process.Once the app was downloaded and the printer was paired, test printing was a breeze. As many have mentioned, the print quality is compatible to a fax machine, but in my personal opinion, it is a higher quality than any fax machine we had in the house when I was growing up. Regardless of opinion, it works perfect for printing the documents I need for work. It is dark and very legible, and the paper is definitely thicker than the fax paper I’ve seen in the past.So far I’ve only seen two down sides to using this printer: I sometimes get an error about parsing the document when I try to open a document from the app. More importantly, I can’t print a document directly from its source, such as my work portal or website. I have to save the document to a folder on my phone, open the print app, and then search for the document. While it’s not terrible, it’s a little inconvenient. I don’t know if the issue is with the app or with the iOS, because the printer doesn’t show up in the list of available printers when trying to print from source. If that changes I think I won’t have any issues, but again, it’s too early to tell.Lastly, there is a travel/storage case available for the printer. I’ve made a separate review for that, so I won’t repeat it here. But I do recommend getting it. I believe I paid $15 for it.Hopefully this review helps you decide, if you’re on the fence about it. There may be printers out there with more convenient features or better quality -idk, but if like me, you’re on a budget and just need something simple for quick prints or on the go stuff, I highly recommend this product.One last thing – for the manufacturers: I work with cables all the time and have to seldomly print labels. My label maker kind of sucks and I see that there are wrap-around label paper for printers. The issue is they’re mostly for laser printers and some inkjet. For my work, I don’t always know the specific label titles that are required until after I arrive. If someone could develop these wrap-around style label paper for this type of thermal printer, that would be amazing. Just putting it out there.
