Purpose & audience
The Mitsubishi CP700DU is a desktop thermal printer that produces colour output at 260 dpi. It connects through a Parallel interface and ships with a power cord for 120 VAC, 60 Hz supply. The unit is suited to users who need a dedicated colour video printer for label or barcode work.
Fit & alternatives
This printer fits workflows that rely on a Parallel port and thermal colour output. Buyers who require a different interface, higher resolution, or included media should consider other models. It is not for environments that need RFID encoding or network connectivity.
Deciding specification
The single specification that decides suitability is the 260 dpi print resolution combined with the Parallel interface. Both must match the host system and the quality level the application demands.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Mitsubishi CP700DU on a parallel port, and what step do people often miss?
Connect the parallel cable to the printer's Parallel interface, then attach the supplied power cord to a 120 VAC 60 Hz outlet. People often forget to set the host computer's parallel port mode to ECP or bidirectional in BIOS so the driver can communicate at 260 dpi resolution.
Which consumable will need replacement first during regular thermal printing?
The dye-sublimation ribbon cartridge depletes with every colour print and must be replaced once the colour panels are exhausted; the thermal printhead itself is rated for long life but should be cleaned when ribbon changes no longer improve output quality.
What limit appears first when the CP700DU runs continuous print jobs?
Sustained printing at 260 dpi causes the thermal printhead to reach its duty-cycle temperature ceiling, forcing the firmware to pause and cool before the next label can be produced.
